OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
AIR SUPPLY LINE (Continued)
Moisture will reduce
tool performance
and life if not
removed from compressed
air,
A filter-regulatorolubricator
system
is required
and
shouid
be located
as close to tool as possible
(see
Figure 1). A distance
of less than t5 feet is recom-
mended1
Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce air pressure
to nailer causing a reduction
in power and efficiency
The air supply
system
must be able to provide
air
pressure of 75 to 100 pounds per square inch at the
toot.
The lubricator
should be filled with a non-detergent
air
tool oil.,
All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be
ctean and free of all moisture and foreign particles,,
Never connect
a female quick-disconnect
coupling
to
too! side of air system A male free-flow coupling should
be connected
to the tool side of air system,
The female coupling
provides a seal, preventing loss of
compressed
air from compressor
tank when discon-
nected from male coupling. If connected to tool side of
air supply,
the femaTe coupling
could
seal a com-
pressed a!r charge in the nailer which could discharge
if the tool trigger is actuated,
The air pressure should be Properly regulated.
Different workpiece
materials and different nail lengths
will require different operating pressure.
Use oniy as much air pressure as required, Using more
air pressure
than needed will waste compressed
air
and cause unnecessary
wear to nailer.
Be sure all connections
in air supply system are sealed
tO prevent air Ioss,
LOADING
Refer to Figures 2 and 5.
NOTE: For best results use Sears nails only
WARNING:
DISCONNECT
TOOL
FROM AIR SUP-
PLY. ALWAYS
LOAD WITH NOSE OF
TOOL
POINTING
AWAY FROM
YOU
AND OTHERS. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GOGGLES THAT COMPLY WITH ANSI
Z87.1o
Slide pusher handle (Ref, No, 59) towards rear of tool
until it locks into position,
Insert nails into opening at top of magazine.
Hold pusher handle firmly and release by depressing
latch (Ref. No, 55). Allow pusher to gently slide forward
against nails°
_.NAILING OPERATION
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE TOOL UNLESS CON.
TACT
TRIP
IS IN CONTACT
WITH
WORKpIECEo DO NOT OPERATE TOOL
WITHOUT
NAILS
OR
DAMAGE
TO
TOOL
MAY'RESULT.
NEVER
FIRE
NAILS INTO THE AIR BECAUSE NAILS
MAY INJURE OPERATOR
OR OTHERS
AND DAMAGE TO TOOL MAY RESULT.
The Sears Framing Nailer is equipped
with a contact
trip safety mechanism that disables nailer unless con-
tact trip is pushed against work. Hotd tooi handle firmly
and place nose of tool on location where nail is to be
applied. Pull trigger to drive nail into workpiece.
