Dred & Dave:
OK, I will start over and dump out the oil I added as per the instruction manual. The few drops before each day's use is what I had been doing with the other rivet pullers I have.
Guess I should know better than to start reading instructions after 70+ years.
Thanks,
Stan

All-
I recently had problems with my HF puller- had nothing to do with lube, but with nosepieces working themselves loose.
I put a couple of drops of oil in the inlet every time I used the puller, and when I had to tear it apart to find the real reason it wasn't working, oil just gushed out.
I don't think oiling every time you pull hurts anything, but I don't think that's the cause of the problem. In my case, I KNOW it wasn't the cause.

Most Pop riviters are air over hydraulic
the will use a tiny amount of oil with each pull.
after many rivets it will loose stroke.
the bottom has to come off the tool the air piston has to be removed you will see the smaller shaft attached to the
piston this is the hydraulic piston you need to fill to the top the hole where the small (approx 12mm) piston goes .
reassemble gun should be like new again.
if it looses stroke to quickly it may need new x rings.

Some people (because of the poor documentation provided by the Chinese manufacturer) don't realize that
their pneumatic rivet puller is only half air driven. The upper part, the piece that actually pulls the rivet is hydraulic,
and needs to be filled with oil to about an inch from the top where the small plunger enters the shaft opening.
The drop of oil placed in the air opening before each use is for the rest of the moving parts.

HF has a water seperator/oiler/regulator for $30. I have one. Works great.
