OPERATING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing it to another person.
CONNECTING THE TOOL
Turn the compressor on and set the regulator to proper pressure for the size for the
size and type of fasteners being used.
After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
CAUTION:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Do not load fasteners with air connected, safety or trigger depressed.
Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing
or operating this tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
LOADING THE FASTENERS
1.
Connect the tool to the air supply BEFORE loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism may
cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
2.
Depress the LOCK (Parts list, 61) to release the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT
(Parts list, 57) and pull the magazine out fully as shown in figure 3.
.
Place a full stick of the desired type and size of fasteners on the FIXED
MAGAZINE UNIT (Parts list, 53). Up to 100 fasteners can be loaded in the
magazine.
4.
Push the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT (Parts list, 57) forward until the LOCK
(Parts list, 61) clicks and locks it.
5.
The tool is ready to operate.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. The depth to which a fastener is driven is determined by both the supplied air
pressure and the drive depth setting wheel, located below the trigger. Test fire a
fastener into a sample of the material you will be working on and check depth. If
a change is desired, adjust the drive depth thumbwheel or the regulator to supply
air at a higher or lower pressure. Test fire another fastener and check depth again.
Adjust as necessary.
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, or at
too steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any
clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing the tool to another person.
Clean and inspect the tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger
and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the
safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other
repair.
2. Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the 60-100
PSI limits mentioned in SPECIFICATIONS.
