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.
