Maintenance - RIDGID R150FSE Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test staple into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test staple with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi.
Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that
will perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the depth of drive adjustment on the tool.
DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 10, page 15.
The driving depth of the staple may be adjusted. It is advis-
able 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 staple. To achieve the desired depth, use the
depth of drive adjustment on the tool.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
 Drive a test staple after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing staples or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
REMOVING STAPLES FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 11, page 15.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing staples. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
 While holding the tool upside down, depress the latch
located at the rear of the magazine and slide the magazine
open.
 Rotate the tool to the normal operating position, allowing
the staple strip to drop out of the magazine.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 12, page 15.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
If a fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the
air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while
clearing the jam.
 Open the magazine and remove the fasteners from the
tool.
 Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the driving mechanism
and push the driver mechanism back, freeing the fastener
jam.
 Remove the bent fastener.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
 Reinsert fasteners and close the magazine.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
