WARNING
Do not use fasteners with shank diameter/width smaller
fasteners to exit the tool prematurely through the guide
track. Do not use hardened fasteners with pneumatic
tools. This could lead to excessive wear of the guide
body and allow fasteners to exit the back of the guide
body, leading to serious personal injury.
DRIVING A FASTENER
WARNING
Check the safety yoke before use. If it is deformed or
cannot telescope, do not use the tool until it is replaced.
Operate with a deformed safety yoke could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
Never wedge or hold back the safety yoke mechanism
during operation of the tool. Doing so could result in
possible serious injury.
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the magazine
is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving tool
must immediately be disconnected from the compressed
air supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of the
working shift, disconnect the tool from the compressed air
supply and it is recommended to empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving tool
and the hoses should be protected against contamination,
the ingress of coarse dust chips, sand, etc, will result in
leaks and damage to the fastener driving tool and the
couplings.
Single sequential actuation mode
The tool employs single sequential actuation mode.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2.
safety yoke of the tool onto the work surface.
3. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
4. Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
5. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven.
6.
fastener has been driven.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.
not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust
at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning
correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the
trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work
piece in accordance with the requirements.
If the fastener is protruding, increase the air
pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the
result after each new adjustment;
If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar
until the result is satisfactory.
It is preferred to adjust the depth adjustment knob
to reach the good fastening effect.
Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give
1. Energy will be saved,
2. Less noise will be produced,
3. A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be
achieved.
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the
size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener
into the same type of workpiece material used for the
actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5
the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent
results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted. It
is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to
determine the required depth for the application.
and drive a test fastener. To achieve the desired depth,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
