CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Cleaning
Disconnect the stapler from the air
supply before cleaning. Use a good
solvent to clean the nose assembly of the
stapler. Always be sure that the stapler is
dry before using it again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc.
into the air connectors or into the body
of the stapler; this may result in leaks
and damage to the stapler and the air
couplings.
Lubricating
Standard pneumatic tool oil has been
included with your new Shop Fox stapler
to help maintain its useful life. Place two
to three drops of oil in the stapler air
inlet (as shown in
Figure 7) before every
use, or after 2 hours of continuous use.
Figure 7. Lubricating stapler via air inlet.
Never use gasoline or other
flammable liquids to clean this
tool. Vapors in the tool may ignite,
causing the tool to explode. Ignoring
this warning may lead to serious
personal injury or even death!
Wipe off any excess oil near the stapler
exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the
oil that was included with the stapler has
been completely used, replace with a
quality pneumatic tool oil.
An alternative to manual oiling is to
install a lubricator in your air compressor
line. A lubricator eliminates the need to
oil your tool each time you use it. If you
have a lubricator in your air compressor
line, ensure it is functioning properly.
