MODEL: PL31
CAUTION:
!
Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are going to be carried out:
◆Disconnect the tool from the air
source.
◆Empty the magazine completely.
ANTI-DUST
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on
the air connector, check it after unpacking.
Keep the air connector covered with the anti-
dust cap when the tool is not in use.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is
required for best performance. The oil added
through the air line helps to prevent rust and
lubricate the internal parts of the nailer.
1.
Disconnect the tool from the air source to
add the lubricant.

2.
Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up.
Place 2 - 3 drops of pneumatic fastening
tool oil into air inlet. Do not use detergent
oils, oil additives, or other air-tool oils as
these lubricants will cause accelerated
weartothesealsandbumpersinthetool,
resulting in poor tool performance and
frequenttoolmaintenance.
3.
After adding oil, connect the tool to the
air source, run tool briefly. Wipe off any
excess oil from the cap exhaust.
C AUTION:
Only lubricate the tool with the
specified lubricants.
C AUTION:
The work surface can become damaged
by excessive lubrication. Proper
lubrication is the owner's responsibility.
Failure to lubricate the tool properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the tool
and void your warranty.

CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust , oil, grease, etc.
!
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, etc.,come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal
injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze
and prevent tool operation. We recommend the
use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze
(ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
1.
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the tool
is being used. An inadequate air supply can
cause a loss of power and inconsistent
driving.
2.
An oiler can be used to provide oil
circulation through the tool. A filter can be
used to remove liquid and solid impurities
which can rust or gum up internal parts of
the tool.
3.
Always use air supply hoses with a
minimum working pressure rating equal to
or greater than the pressure from the power
source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi,
whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air hose for
runs up to 50 ft. and use a 3/8" quick
coupler on the air hose.
4.
U s e a p re s s u re re g u l a t o r o n t h e
compressor, with an operating pressure of
0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required
to control the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 psi and 110 psi.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
!
WARNING:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200 psi.
The tool may burst, possibly causing
injury.
