PREPARATIoN
WARNING! ensure the air supply is clean, dry and between 70 - 110psi while operating the gun. too high an air pressure and/or
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.
AIR SUPPLY (from a compressor not a gas bottle)
4.1.1 ensure the nail gun trigger release slide is not depressed when connecting to the air supply. to check this see fig.1 where indication of
trigger "inoperable" and "firing" positions are shown
4.1.2 You will require an air pressure of between 70 - 110psi, and an air flow according to specification.
4.1.3 drain your compressor air tank of water daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun.
4.1.4 clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly. recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.2.
4.1.5 line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). the minimum hose diameter should be
1/4" I.d. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.6 Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
5. oPERATIoN
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
5.1.
load the magazine before connecting the air line. to open the magazine, hold the gun body with the left hand, then with your
other hand, press the magazine latch lever and slide the magazine fully open. Place a "strip" of nails/staples into the open magazine
chamber, ensuring that all the nails have their points resting on the bottom of the chamber. staples nest on the top edge of the guide.
5.2.
slide the magazine cover shut until it clicks into place behind the catch.
5.3.
Before connecting to an air supply, ensure that the trigger safety slide is not depressed. see the trigger "inoperable" and "firing"
positions in fig.1.
5.4.
connect the air line to the nail/staple gun as described in section 4.
5.5.
the operating trigger is normally inoperable and cannot be used until the trigger safety slide is depressed. this happens automatically
as you position and offer the nail/stapler gun on to the timber work piece.
5.6.
the trigger release slide can be seen protruding downwards just in front of the nail outlet (see fig.3). Place the tip of the slide onto the
timber work piece to be nailed/stapled and press downwards to bring the nose outlet into contact with the surface. As the slide retracts
the trigger will become operational. Never depress the safety slide projection with your finger.
5.7.
depress the trigger and release to fire one nail/staple. to fire another nail/staple in quick succession keep the trigger depressed,
reposition the gun at the next required point and offer the gun nose on to the timber work piece. repeat as necessary.
5.8.
If you need to put the gun down during the course of working, ensure that the trigger safety slide is not depressed against any
object, which will be indicated by the slide firing position in fig.1. this would enable the trigger and possible accidental firing.
5.9.
When the work is complete or when you have paused for any length of time, disconnect the nail/stapler gun from the air line.
WARNING! Should a blockage occur, disconnect the nail/stapler gun from the air supply immediately. See trouble shooting in
