Maintenance - Haussmann HCN45R Operating Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES
3. Press the trigger.
4. Keeping the trigger pressed, push the contact tip of the safety bracket against
the working surface. Once the bracket is pushed back enough, the nail will fire.
CAUTION:
z Remove finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners.
z Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool will fire a fastener if the safety is
bumped.
z Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
z Never attempt to drive nails into materials too hard to penetrate, or at too
!
steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing personal injury.
z Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly, maintenance,
clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing the tool to another person.
z Clean and inspect the tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger
and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the
safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other
repair.
The depth to which a nail is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob,
reachable through the window in the front of the clear plastic guard. The depth
of drive is factory adjusted to maximum.
Test fire a nail into a sample of the material you will be working on and check
depth. If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise (upward)
to increase the depth, counterclockwise (downward) to decrease it. Test fire
another nail and check depth again. Adjust as necessary.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
!
CAUTION: Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
1. Open the feeder cover and the magazine cover. Remove any remaining
fasteners from the nailer.
2. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost position.
Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers.
3. Follow instructions in Preparing the Tool to reload fasteners.

MAINTENANCE

CLEAN AND INSPECT BEFORE EACH USE
CAUTION: Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection.
!
Correct all problems before putting the tool back in service.
z Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flammable cleaning
solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. DO NOT SOAK tool with
cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
z Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
z Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage the
tool.
z If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 5 or 6 drops of air tool oil into the
air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday.
