Loading Fasteners - Haussmann HCN45R Operating Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES
z The tool can be equipped with a male 'quick connector.' To prevent accidental
cycling when disconnected, it must always be connected to the air supply in
such a way that all air pressure in the tool is released when the coupling is
disconnected.
CAUTION:
z All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, fi lters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
z Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing it to another person.
PREPARING THE TOOL
1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
2. Turn on the air compressor and adjust the regulator to the proper pressure for
the fastener size you are using. (See the Using the Tool section below with
regards to adjusting this.)
CAUTION:
z Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
z Always connect the tool to air supply before loading fasteners.
z Do not load fasteners with safety or trigger depressed.
z Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing
or operating this tool.
z Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.

LOADING FASTENERS

1. Press down latch, open feeder cover and magazine cover
2. Adjust nail support to suit desired nail length. The nail support can be lifted
and rotated to three different positions that provide support for different length
roofi ng nails. The lowest position is for 1-3/4" (45 mm) nails, the center position
is for 1-1/4" (32 mm) and 1-1/2" (38 mm) nails, and the upper position for 7/8"
(22 mm) and 1" (25 mm) nails.
3. Remove retainer from a coil of nails, uncoil approximately 3 nails, and
position the coil on the nail support with the second nail in the feed fi ngers.
4. Close the magazine cover. Close and latch the feeder cover.
5. Adjust the directional exhaust defl ector so that the exhaust air will be directed
away from the operator.
6. Adjust the shingle guide by loosening the retaining screw and sliding the
shingle guide to the desired position. Tighten the retaining screw fi rmly. (The
shingle guide can be used as an aid in positioning the shingle to be nailed at a
specifi c distance from the front edge of the previous row of shingles.)
USING THE TOOL
Complete all the steps in PREPARING THE TOOL before using. This tool can be
fi red in two different ways:
SEQUENTIAL FIRE:
1. Turn the trigger mode selector (A) so the tail of selector is up.
2. Put the contact tip of the tool on the working surface.
3. Lightly push the tool toward the working surface until the safety bracket is
depressed.
4. Press the trigger to drive the fasteners. This "trigger fi re" method provides the
most accurate fastener placement.
BUMP FIRE:
1. Turn the trigger mode selector (A) so the tail of selector is down.
2. Hold the contact tip off the surface.
