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
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.1
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
Before and after use, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil
by placing two or three drops into the air fitting. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always disconnect the air hose before adjusting or
•
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the nailing depth
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the
•
depth of nailing.
Fig.3
Fig.4
If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster clockwise.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise.
The adjustable range is 0 - 6 mm. (One full turn allows
0.8 mm adjustment.)
Hook
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.
Fig.5
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
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before installing or
•
removing the nose adapter.
Fig.6
Attach the board adapter for plaster board and other siding
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.7
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.
