Contact Trip Adjustment; Contact Trip Pad; Fastener View Window; Operating Pressure - Craftsman 351.181710 Operator's Manual

WARNING: All air power fastening tools recoil when operat-
ed. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool
may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener
to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in
hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. Let the tool
do the work. This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away
from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.
CONTACT TRIP ADJUSTMENT
The contact trip may be adjusted up or down to vary the
depth of the fastener in the workpiece. To adjust, rotate depth
control knob (see Figure 6) to raise or lower contract trip to
desired setting.
Figure 6 - Setting Depth Control
FASTENER VIEW WINDOW
This tool has a fastener viewing window on the magazine
cover (see Figure 8). Fasteners are visible through the win-
dow. When the load indicator is visible through the window
(see Figure 9), the tool has approximately ten fasteners in the
magazine.

CONTACT TRIP PAD
The tool is equipped with a contact trip pad (see Figure 7_
that prevents marring of finished surfaces by the contact trl
during normal operation. Pad can be removed and stored on
the storage sleeve located on the end cover of the magazine.
Hex wrench is also stored on the magazine.

OPERATING PRESSURE
° Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air
pressure in excess of that which is required will make the
operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or
damage to the tool.
° Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some
test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that
test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface.
Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.
