Senco FinishPro 18Mg - Brad Nailer Manual

SAFETY WARNINGS

	Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
	Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses with permanently attached side shields. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
	Personal Safety Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
	Explosion Hazard Never use tool in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of combustible materials such as flammable liquids, gases or dust.
	Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool; the tool will explode and cause serious injury.
	Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with finger on or under trigger. Tool will eject a fastener if the safety element is bumped.
	Always assume the tool contains fasteners. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others and connect air to tool.
	Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to penetrate.
	Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
	When using tool, care should be taken due to possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven. If safety element is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push safety element on work surface until a second fastener is desired.
	Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free or ricochet and hit someone.
	Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended or sold by SENCO. Do not modify tool without authorization from SENCO.
	Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at recommended pressure.
	Do not connect tools to air pressure that potentially exceeds 200 psig or 13.7 bar.
	Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this tool must comply with requirement ANSI/ ASME B 19.1–1995 (U.S.), "Safety Standard For Air Compressor Systems."
	Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 psig (10.3 bar) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system, whichever is higher.
	The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
	Do not use tool without danger label on tool. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your SENCO representative to obtain a new label.
	Always place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool.
Safety first. The only way to work.®	For information on the "SENCO Safety First Program," contact your SENCO representative.

TOOL USE

	Read section titled "Safety Warnings," before using tool.
	To Load: Place strip of fasteners into magazine with points resting on fastener guide. Use only genuine SENCO fasteners. Do not load with workpiece contact (safety element) or trigger depressed.
	Push rail forward until it latches.
	To adjust the direction of the exhaust air, turn the exhaust deflector to the desired location.
	To adjust the depth the fastener is driven, first disconnect the air supply. Using your thumb or index finger, rotate wheel to adjust the Depth Control workpiece contact (safety element) to achieve desired depth.
	These tools have an adjustable trigger and can be set for Contact Actuation () or Sequential Actuation ().
	With a "Contact-Actuation" Dual-Action) trigger, nails can be driven two ways: First,  position safety element against work surface, then pull trigger — "Trigger Fire." First,  pull trigger, then push safety element against work surface for operation each time the safety element is pushed against the work surface. This "bottom-fire" mode of operation is preferred when high speed, rapid fastener placement is desired.
	With a "Sequential" (Restrictive) trigger, nails can only be driven one way. First,  position safety element against work surface, then pull trigger. This feature is helpful when precise fastener placement is required. Read the "Customer Satisfaction and Safety Reminder" (CSSR) in the tool and fastener boxes for safety information regarding the Dual Action and Restrictive triggers. Under certain conditions, the Restrictive trigger may reduce the possibility of injury to you or to others working with you.
	Should a nail jam occur, disconnect air supply.
	Push latch and slide rail open. Remove fasteners.
	Release E-Z Clear latch and open door.
	Remove jammed fastener. Close door and latch. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others and connect air to tool.

MAINTENANCE

	Repairs other than those described here should be performed only by trained, qualified personnel. Contact SENCO for information at: 1-800-543-4596. Read section titled "Safety Warnings" before maintaining tool.
	All screws should be kept tight. Loose screws result in unsafe operation and parts breakage.
	With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of safety element and trigger. Do not use tool if safety element or trigger sticks or binds.
	Wipe tool clean daily and inspect for wear. Use non-flammable cleaning solutions only if necessary. DO NOT SOAK. Such solutions may damage O–rings and other tool parts.
