how to change the seals and oil this nailer

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.

Same as Daniel, I have not had any seal issues, just a couple drops of oil as recommended.

put a couple of drops of oil into the air fitting; an allen wrench is needed to take screws, and cover off top, then change seals. gun comes apart then to replace the o rings/seals. good luck.

If your using portable compressor, it most likely will not have a lubricator attached, unless you have added one. If that is the case, keep doing what you're doing, add a few drops directly in the coupling on the tool every 2-3 hours. Be sure to keep your tank drained of any water that might accumulate. Moisture makes the seals sticky and can cause erratic behavior with your nailer. Clean, dry air and lubricated seals makes for a happy nail gun.

Based on the information supplied with the nailer, it does not need oil. However in my opinion it would not hurt to add a drop of air tool oil now and then.

I purchased the nails from a local supplier. The gun uses standard nails. I'm sure Home Depot or Lowes carries the nails for this type of nail gun.

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

I recently had trouble finding a replacement o-ring for this nailer and want to share the knowledge I gained. When it went out, air was escaping from the holes in the cap near the actuator. To get to the ring, remove the rubber part of the actuator, the metal cap, and the top of the casing inside. The top of the plunger inside should screw off, and has two grooves for o-rings. I believe only one is installed initially, but I had success with putting a ring on each one. The ring is metric and was difficult to find in the states. The size I found that appears correct is a 2mm x 17mm o-ring.

I finally got around to pulling out the manual on the jack hammer. They send a bottle of oil and applicator with the unit. I don't know what type is in it. The manual says to use Shell Oil, ROTELLA #40, engine oil.

Use Rotella T1 oil.I purchased this product and it broke before I even used it. It is not worth the money IMO. I replaced it with a Bosch hammer and it is much better quality. The Bosch hammer was about $750.00 though.

Your best bet is to contact Paslode at www.Paslode.com or call them at 1-800-222-6990. I had a prompt response to an e-mail I sent them about my nailer. They know their product and will probably save you money.

My husband says get a penetrating oil, WD40 is only a coating, he says a penetrating oil is used to loosen up frozen bolts. they sell it at home depot.He said that the lubricant the shop put on the multi -tool has probably dried up.He's a smart cookie, I'd take his advice :)

It requires oil. I would also not recommend this product because the nail clip gets jammed in the magazine not the head section. I just ordered a Bostich.

Thou shall oil thine air inlet daily with Air Tool Oil and Grease but once a month... Grease? Yes. The tiny ball bearing at the front of the gun, just beneath the anvil (where the 1/2" socket articulates to the tool) is a grease port that fits a "Mini" or "Needle" air tool grease gun. Just a dab will do before it back flows out of the port. Remember, you're greasing an air tool, not the ball joint of a semi truck. [The AIRCAT tools require the minimum standards below to keep your tool in good working condition. Grease/ Oil AIRCAT and NITROCAT Twin Hammer: Use Lithium or bearing grease. One pump every few weeks is all you need.} (quote from the Air Cat site). I hope you guys found this info helpful and remember, We Screw, We Nut, and We Bolt! :)

Generic oil works fine. As with most chainsaws, store it level to prevent leaking. (I'm not sure it would leak, but better safe than sorry.)

Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit. The guide sleeve on the outside of the drillbit will stop drillbit from falling into cylinder. Be careful using tap, you do not want tap to fall into cylinder.. On the off chance this happens A magnet will remove it. You will have to back thread it out. When using compressed air to clean cylinder after new threads have been installed. Use a small amount of paint thinner to break down the oil.. After cylinder has been cleaned use a small amount of oil to lubricate cylinder. Ensure new threads are clear of any oil or debris. Use your liquid weld on new threads. Tore down threads. After 24 hours re torque again. Take your time and good luck

have you tried tightening the hex screws? i've used mine extensively and when the oil gets hot, it gets thinner and seems to pass the seals more easily. it's a handy, lightweight little hammer to have around even if it does leak some. i've fabricated some seals out of an old tire tube that i had for just that purpose in other applications.
