INSTALLATION

Selecting compressor (Fig. 1)
The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of EN60335-2-34.
The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of ANSI B19.3.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph
shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable
pressure and compressor air output.
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of
approximately 60 times per minute at a compression of
1.77 MPa (17.7 bar), a compressor with an air output
over 40 liters/minute is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to
the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure
exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the
vicinity.
Selecting air hose (Fig. 2)
Use a high pressure resistant air hose.
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.
CAUTION:
• Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller
diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency may
cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool.
Lubrication
To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust
the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every
30 nails. (Fig. 3)
When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic
tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fit-
ting. This should be done before and after use. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced. (Fig. 4)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the nailing depth (Fig. 5 & 6)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the depth
of nailing.
If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster clockwise. If
nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster counter-
clockwise.
The adjustable range is 0 – 6 mm. (One full turn allows
0.8 mm adjustment.)
Hook (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose when hanging the tool
using the hook.
• Never hang the tool on a waist belt or like. Dangerous
accidental firing may result.
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
This hook can be installed on either side of the tool.
Install the hook on another side for installation and then
secure it with the screw.

Board adapter and floor adapter (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before installing or remov-
ing the nose adapter.
Attach the board adapter for plaster board and other sid-
ing boards, and the floor adapter for flooring. The board
adapter is attached to the contact arm cover when
shipped.
When unable to remove the nose adapter easily, use a
slotted bit screwdriver and the like.
Replacing nose adapter (Fig. 9)
Remove the nose adapter by grabbing its top and pulling
it down.
To attach the nose adapter to the contact arm, press it
onto the contact arm as far as it will go.
Standard air pressure and adjusting method
Refer to the table below to adjust air pressure.
Turn the nailing depth adjuster counterclockwise as far as
it will go.
Perform test nailing. If nails are driven too deep, turn the
adjuster clockwise. If nailing depth cannot be adjusted as
desired, set the air pressure higher.
Application
Nailing for wooden beddings
Nailing for gypsum boards
Nailing for interior materials
Nailing for floor materials
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose before loading the
nailer.
Loading the nailer
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the coil support plate is set to the cor-
rect step for used nails.
Disconnect the air hose from the tool. Select nails suit-
able for your work. Depress the latch lever and open the
door and magazine cap. (Fig. 10)
Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the arrow with
nail size indicated on the coil support plate will point to
the corresponding graduation increment marked on the
magazine. If the tool is operated with the coil support
plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction
of the tool may result. (Fig. 11)
Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoil
enough nails to reach the feed claw. Place the first nail in
the driver channel and the second nail in the feed claw.
Place other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close the
magazine cap slowly until it lock after checking to see
that the nail coil is set properly in the magazine. (Fig. 12)
Connecting air hose
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the
nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into position
when installed onto the air fitting. A hose coupling must
be installed on or near the tool in such a way that the
pressure reservoir will discharge at the time the air sup-
ply coupling is disconnected.
Standard air pressure
1.77 MPa (17,7 bar)
0.98 MPa (9,8 bar)
