4.1.1. Ensure that the trigger is in the OFF position when connecting to the
air supply.
WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and is between 60-150psi.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the life of the gun
due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or
personal injury.
4.1.2. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun.
4.1.3. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.4. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses
(over 8 metres). The minimum hose size should be 1/4” internal diameter and
fittings must have compatible dimensions.
4.1.5. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and
make certain that all connections are secure.

6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before performing maintenance.
6.1. Lubricate the air tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO/1000. If the compressed air system has
no oiler, a few drops of oil can be poured into the air inlet of the gun each day.
6.2. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
Note: Faults in the compressed air system may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain
on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connectors of incorrect size may reduce the air supply.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool will reduce power and may be removed by flushing out the gun with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE10 oil and kerosene.
Note: If the SA401.V2 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible that the rubber plunger may become damaged. If it is
 thenusedwithmanualorbulkllingsystems,theplungermayallowgreasetoseepfromthebottomofthegreasetube.Toprevent
