2.2.1 Periodic Tool Maintenance
-Warning- Improperly maintained tools can cause
serious injuries to tool operators and
bystanders.
Normal Cleaning
Normal cleaning of the tool must be performed daily. Always check the tool before
performing any disassembly, cleaning, or service to make sure the tool is not loaded.
All front-end parts, including piston, barrel, and Portamark attachment, should be
thoroughly cleaned with a good quality detergent oil using the wire brush supplied
with the tool kit. Remove all dirt and carbon build-up, and wipe parts dry with a clean,
lint-free rag to prevent surface oil from collecting dust and dirt.
All front-end parts should be carefully inspected for wear or damage before reassembly
to the tool. Any cracked, worn, or damaged parts should be replaced
The piston should be checked for uneven tip wear or other deformities, and ground flat
if required. The tip must be ground flat at a 90-degree angle to the shank of the
piston. The length of the piston cannot be ground shorter than 5 11/16”.
-Note- Piston grinding should only be attempted by
trained personnel.
Complete Cleaning
Heavy use or constant exposure to dirt and debris may require that the tool be cleaned
more extensively. Complete disassembly and cleaning of all parts may be necessary to
restore the tool to normal operation.
Cleaning Schedule
Front-end parts must be cleaned daily. Front-end parts include, piston, barrel, and
Portamark attachment.
