LUBRICATION
1. The "TR" series D-Ring tools are designed for long,
trouble-free service with minimal air line lubrication. (If
an in-line lubricator is used, it should be set at the
minimum rate of flow.)
2. Excess oil in the tool will attract dirt, lint, and the
adhesive material used in collating the fasteners,
preventing smooth operation. When lubrication is used,
always use a good grade of 5W non-detergent oil with
no additives.
3. When servicing or repairing tool use lithium grease on
all moving parts.
TIPS ON EXTENDING TOOL LIFE
The serviceable life of the "TR" series tools can be extended
greatly by using the following guidelines:
1. Always use Stanley Fastening brand fasteners. Never
replace worn or broken parts with anything other than
genuine Stanley Fastening parts.
may shorten the life of your D-Ring tool and will void
the manufacturer's warranty.
2. Keep your tool(s) clean and dry. Always use clean, dry
air and never exceed the recommended air pressure
noted above.
3. Use of this tool at minimum air pressure required for the
work at hand will greatly extend the life of the tool.
4. Exercise caution not to drop equipment. Tools dropping
onto the floor or ground is a primary reason for parts
replacement.
5. Should the tool leak air in both the triggered and rest
positions, a damaged piston o-ring may be the cause.
Once the piston o-ring has been replaced, lubricate with
lithium grease.
CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY ROTATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The carriage is normally shipped in position #1, magazine
pointing downward, parallel to the handle.
To rotate the carriage to new position, loosen (2) socket head
cap screws (#2). Grasp the handle firmly in one hand, and
the carriage (#32) in the other hand.
With steady force, rotate the two sections. This will enable
you to put the front carriage assembly into any position you
need. Tighten the (2) socket head cap screws (#2).
DO NOT use excessive force when tightening any of the
screws. Screws should be snug but not over-torqued.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR FIELD SERVICE TOOL JAMS
Generic fasteners
5 of 6
The most common reason for jamming problems in the TR
tool is worn parts. The two most common replaced parts are
the jaws and the pusher assembly.
If tool begins to close ring poorly or spit rings, check for
worn parts.
RING DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY
1. Check air pressure. Line pressure at the tool should be
between 70 and 90 psi (4.8 - 6.2 bar) for most
applications.
The tool should never be operated at
pressures exceeding 100 psi (6.90 bar).
2. A 3/8" (9.5 mm) or larger air line should be used with
the "TR" Series Tools. Air lines in excess of 100' (30.5
meters) in length can cause air volume deficiencies at
the tool which will prevent normal operation.
3. Check for foreign debris in the jaw area.
especially true in the area between the jaws and the
carriage.
4. The jaws may be worn from extended use. Check the
ring groove of the jaws.
excessively or have a chip out of them, replacing the
jaw(s) is recommended.
5. The arm links or pivot pins may be worn excessively,
replacing the part(s) is recommended.
6. When the tool is used in corrosive applications, light oil
should be applied on a regular basis to the carriage,
jaws, linkages and pins. Unlubricated and/or corroded
jaw linkages may cause the tool to function poorly.
FEEDING PROBLEMS
1. If rings do not feed smoothly through the magazine,
check pusher spring for proper tension. If the magazine
is covered with dirt from field use, clean the magazine
and apply a light coating of oil.
2. When rings feed properly through the magazine but do
not feed into the jaws without spitting out of the tool, or
if the rings sit in the jaw grooves on an angle, check
jaws to insure freedom of movement.
NEVER USE LOOSE RINGS IN THE TR201 /
