SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends
on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece
material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test
nail into the same type of workpiece material
used for the actual job.
Drive a test fastener 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.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners is adjustable.
To adjust the depth, use the drive depth
adjustment wheel (H) on the tool.
1.
Disconnect the tool from air source.
2.
Turn the depth wheel left or right to change
the driving depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
3.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until
the desired depth is set.
