Operation - Wen 61718 Manual

WARNING: Before each use, check the nailer, compressed air connections and air lines. If any parts
are missing or damaged, do not operate this tool until the parts are repaired and replaced. Failure to do
so could possibly result in a serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WHEEL (Fig. 8)
The nailer is equipped with a depth adjustment wheel (Fig. 8) for setting
the penetration depth of the fasteners.
1. Turn the wheel clockwise to increase the firing depth (wheel moves
downwards).
2. Turn the wheel counterclockwise to decrease the firing depth (wheel
moves upwards).
SHOOTING FASTENERS (Fig. 9)
WARNING: Using a nail gun can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye
and hearing protection when operating this tool. Stay alert and keep proper balance at all times. Always
release the trigger when not operating the nail gun to reduce the risk of unintended fastener discharge.
1. Check that the air supply is correctly connected to the tool at the correct pressure and the fasteners have been
loaded into the magazine.
2. Test the driving depth on a sample piece of wood. If the fasteners penetrate too far, decrease the firing depth or
adjust the regulator to provide less air pressure. If the fasteners penetrate too shallow, increase the firing depth or
adjust the regulator to provide more air pressure. Try to adjust both the air pressure regulator and the depth wheel
so that you can achieve your desired firing depth with the lowest possible air pressure. This will save energy, reduce
noise level and reduce the wear on the tool.
3. Hold the nailer upright on the workpiece and position the safety
bracket where the fastener will be driven (Fig. 9).
4. Carefully press down on the safety bracket (Fig. 9 - 1) and pull the
trigger (Fig. 9 - 2) to drive a fastener.
5. Release the trigger, lift the tool off the workpiece and reposition it
where the next fastener will be driven. Repeat step 4 to drive another
fastener.
6. Regularly check the nail gauge window to see the load of fasteners
in the magazine. Make sure to refill the magazine before the fasten-
ers run out. As blank shots can damage the tool and leave unwanted
marks on the workpiece.
WARNING: If the safety bracket is not functioning as described above, you should stop using the tool
immediately and disconnect it from the air supply.
7. After operation, turn off the air compressor and depressurize the compressor according to the instructions stated
with your compressor. Disconnect the air hose from the nailer and attach the protective cap to the nailer inlet.
