155. Servicing
a. Lubrication. Proper and sufficient lubrication is the most important factor in obtaining maximum performance from
the nail driver. Always use clean machine oil applied before placing the tool in operation, after each two to three hours of
continued operation, and when halting operations at the end of the work period. Pour the oil in the air connection. Below
32 F., use engine oil, OE-10 or OHA; above 32 F. use engine oil, OE-30.
b. Preparing for Storage.
To prevent internal parts of the nail driver from rusting while in storage, follow the
procedure outlined below:
(1) Flush a small amount of cleaning solvent through the nail driver to remove foreign matter.
Caution: Never operate the nail driver for flushing purposes without a nail set
installed and held firmly against a solid object.
(2) After flushing with solvent, flush the nail driver with light machine oil to lubricate internal working parts.
(3) Wedge a cloth plug into the inlet and exhaust openings and into the end of the barrel to prevent dust from
entering the tool while in storage.
(4) Store the nail driver and its attachments in the compressor side tool box.
