Always unload all fasteners before removing tool from service.
Always disconnect the air resource before unloading.
CLEARING JAMS
Occasionally, a fastener may become jammed in the firing mechanism of the tool, making the tool inoperable. To remove a jammed fastener, follow the steps below:
- Disconnect the tool from air resource.
- Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to do so will cause the fasteners to eject from the front of the tool.
- Completely remove the small nose screws(E) and the top nose plate(F) to reveal the jammed fastener.
- Using caution not to bend or damage the driver blade, using pliers or a screwdriver if required to clear the jammed fastener.
- Put the nose plate(F) back on the nose(G), fastening it with the screws(E).
- Reconnect the tool to the air resource.
- Reload the tool with fasteners.
Make sure there is no fastener in magazine before clearing a jam.
Disconnect the tool from the air source whenever clearing a jam. After disconnecting the tool from the air compressor, there should still be enough air pressure to fire the tool. After the air hose is disconnected, always fire the tool into scrap wood repeatedly to make sure all of the compressed air is expended.
NON-MARRING PAD
The non—marring pad attached the nose of the tool helps prevent marring and denting when working with softer woods.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before removing or replacing the no— marring pad. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners are adjustable. To adjust the depth, use the drive depth adjustment wheel (H) on the right side of the tool.
- Disconnect the tool from air resource.
- Tum the depth wheel left or right to change the driving depth.
- Reconnect the tool to the air resource.
- Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set.
CAUTION:
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. Never exceed 120psi.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece material. Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job. Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 90-95psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent results.lt may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone.
FIRING THE TOOL
The tool is specially designed for single sequential mode. This mode requires the trigger to be pulled each time a fastener is driven. The tool can be actuated by depressing the WCE against the work surface followed pulling the trigger.
The trigger must be released to reset the tool before another fastener can be driven.
Always know the operational mode of the tool before using. Failure to know the operational mode could resutt in death or serious personal injury.
An improperly functioning tool must not be used. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the work place.
WORK CONTACT ELEMENT
- Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
- Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
- Make sure the trigger and work contact element move freely up and down without sticking or binding.
- Reconnect air supply to the tool.
- Depressthe work contact element against the work surface without pulling the trigger. The tool must not operate. Do not use the tool if it operates without pulling the trigger. Personal injury may result.
- Remove the tool from the work surface. The work contact element (WCE) must return to its original down position. The tool must not operate. Do not use the tool if it operates while lifted from the work surface. Personal injury may result.
- Pull the trigger and depress the work contact element (WCE) against the work surface. The tool must not operate.
- Depress the work contact element (WCE) against the surface. Pull the trigger, the tool must operate.
CAUTION:
Check the operation of the work contact element trip mechanism before each use. The WCE must move freely without binding through its entire travel distance. The WCE spring must return the WCE to its fully extended position after being depressed. Do not operate the tool if the WCE trip mechanism is not operating properly. Personal injury may occur.
MAINTENANCE
Any time inspection, maintenance, and cleaning are done:
- Disconnect the tool from the air resource.
- Empty the magazine completely.
ANTI-DUST
Each tool is packed with an anti-dustcap on the air connector, check it after unpacking.
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air connector when the tool is not in use.
LUBRICATION
The tool is uniquely designed not to need daily lubrication. But lubrication is required for best performance after long periods of use. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools is added through the air line connection and will lubricate intemal parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified lubricants.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic pans. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and maybe damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetration oils, ect., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tool's operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
- The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
- An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum up intemal pans of the tool.
- Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air hose for runs up to 50. Use 1/2' air hoses for 50 run or longer. For better petformance, install a 3/8" quick plug (1/4" NPT thread) with an inside diameter of.315' (8mm) on the tool and 3/8" quick coupler on the air hose.
- Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 60 and 110psi.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 60psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
Do not connect with an air compressor which can potentially exceed 200psi. As tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
