Adjusting Depth - Porter-Cable PIN138-CA Instruction Manual

ADJUSTING DEPTH

The depth that a fastener is driven is controlled by the pressure of the air supply. The
amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the length of the fastener and the
material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest
setting that will consistently perform the job at hand.
Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/
or damage to the tool.
NO-MAR PAD AND WRENCH STORAGE (FIG. 5, 6)
Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or re-installing no-mar
pad.
The no-mar pad (I) is provided to reduce marring of the work surface. The no-mar pad
can be removed, and stored on the bracket (M), to provide increased depth-of-drive for
toe-nailing applications.
When not in use the hex wrench (L) supplied can be snapped into the storage bracket
as shown.
