LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
Your tool requires lubrication before you use it for the first time.
Disconnect the air supply from the tool before lubricating.
Before each use turn the tool so the inlet is facing up and put one drop of
Paslode pneumatic oil into air inlet. Never use detergent oil additives.
Operate the tool briefly after adding oil.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
NOTE
The following illustration shows the correct mode of connection to the air supply
system which will increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use a lubricator to help provide oil circulation
through tool and increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in
the lubricator daily.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquid impurities which can
rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter also increases the efficiency and useful life
of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary drained.
