2. Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the

safety yoke of the tool onto the work surface.

3. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the

safety yoke.

4. Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.

5. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as

the fastener is driven.

6. Always remove your finger from the trigger after the

fastener has been driven.

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately

after driving a fastener. this is a normal function of

the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding

the tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can

result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.

Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do

not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust

at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in

serious personal injury.

settINg the AIR pRessURe

Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning

correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the

trigger.

Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work

piece in accordance with the requirements.

● If the fastener is protruding, increase the air

pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the

result after each new adjustment;

● If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,

reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar

until the result is satisfactory.

● It is preferred to adjust the depth adjustment knob

to reach the good fastening effect.

Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give

you three significant advantages;

1. Energy will be saved,

2. Less noise will be produced,

3. A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be

achieved.

The amount of air pressure required will depend on the

size of the fastener and the workpiece material.

Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener

into the same type of workpiece material used for the

actual job.

Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5

bar (90 - 95 psi). Raise or lower the air pressure to find

the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent

results.

It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air

pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are

needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.

DRIve Depth ADjUstMeNt

See figure 7.

The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted. It

is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to

determine the required depth for the application.

To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure

and drive a test fastener. To achieve the desired depth,

use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2. Turn the depth adjustment knob left or right to change

the driving depth.

3. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

4. Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the

desired depth is set.

ReMOvINg FAsteNeRs FROM the tOOl

See figure 8.

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the

magazine before performing maintenance. Failure to do

so could result in serious personal injury.

2. To remove a strip of fasteners from the tool, retract the

pusher until it reaches the end of the magazine. Hold

the pusher in place.

NOte: Always keep fingers clear of fastener track of

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the

pusher.

3. Holding your left hand underneath the rear of the

magazine, tilt the tool up so that the hose connector

faces down. The fasteners will slide back and exit the

rear of the magazine.
