GFN3490
Framing Nailer
Suitable for timber framing, roofing, joists and many other
tasks, this gas powered nailer is a real time saver.
Two batteries are provided, each will last up to 4,000 nails per charge.
There is a built in light to indicate low charge. Standard gas cartridges
are used, each with a life of approximately 1,200 nails. This nailer is
powerful but light to use, and able to
drive 51-90mm 34° ring shanked nails
into all timbers with ease.
An adjustable depth control, full
sequential action, effective air fil-
ters and a high temperature
warning lamp all contribute to
efficient use. A retractable
rafter hook is a clever idea, saving
an inavertant and possibly terminal
decent! With its Japanese built motor
this is a reliable tool for site or
workshop use.
