CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Cleaning
Use a good solvent to clean the nose
assembly of the nailer. Always be sure
that the nailer is dry before using it
again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc.
into the air connectors or into the body
of the nailer; this may result in leaks
and damage to the nailer and the air
couplings.
Lubricating
Use a quality pneumatic tool oil with your
new Shop Fox nailer to help maintain its
useful life. Place two to six drops of oil
in the nailer air inlet (as shown in
Figure
6) before every use, or after 2 hours of
continuous use. Wipe off any excess oil
near the nailer exhaust to avoid dust
build-up.
Another option to manual oiling would
be to install a lubricator in your air
compressor line. If your air compressor
line already has a lubricator, then regular
lubrication of your nailer will not be
necessary. Just make sure there is always
oil in the lubricator.

the tool to explode. Ignoring
this warning may lead to serious
personal injury or even death!
