MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. CLEANING THE NAIL CHANNEL See Figure 12, page 12. If the tool will not drive a nail, or cycles without driving a nail, glue residue from the nail strip may need to be cleaned from the area around the driving mechanism.  Remove the battery pack.  Remove nails from the tool.  Using the hex wrench, remove the two bolts and drive guide cover.  Use a small amount of air tool oil on a clean cloth or cotton swab to wipe down the nail channel, removing all traces of glue.  Reinstall the drive guide cover and bolts, making sure they are secure.  Reinstall nails in the tool and close the magazine.
