NITROSET® Tool Cleaning Procedure

It is recommended that the NITROSET® tool be cleaned every day after use. Proper maintenance and cleaning of the tool enables the tool to operate at peak performance.
First, be sure all fastener assemblies and debris are ejected from the tool by resetting it pointed away from yourself or any bystanders.
Remove the muzzle by unscrewing it from the tool shank. Then, remove the end cap and disassemble the entire tool following the tool disassembly instructions.
Empty the debris cup.
To clean, use a diluted industrial degreaser or cleaner similar to Strike-Hold (provided in tool kit) or other similar non-oil base degreaser to spray or wipe the tool surface and threads. Allow contact time of 3 to 5 minutes before scrubbing. Wipe off excess cleaning agent and allow tool to fully dry before reassembly.
Re-assemble the tool. For long term storage, thread the nosepiece halfway to prevent debris build up from forming rust on the fine thread.

Interim Cleaning Procedure

Empty the debris cup after every 500 fastenings, or as needed to optimize performance.
A liquid shot of degreaser lubricant at approximately every 500 to 1000 fastenings is recommended to maintain a smooth operation.
This will help tool performance and actuating consistency, making your end-of-day cleaning easier.
