OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST
The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows the
operator to direct the exhaust according to operator preference.
To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases or bottled gases as a power source for this tool.
The tool will explode and cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply
before leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi . The
correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do
the job.
NOTE:
Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage
the tool. The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling
that allows all pressure to be released from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use a coupling that discharges all the compressed air in the
tool at the time the fitting or hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that does
not discharge the compressed air could cause unintended operation and serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool that is
connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick connector.
LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
The tool's driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is first connected
WARNING:
to the air supply. Always connect the tool to a pressurized air supply before loading
fasteners to prevent injury from unintended cycling. Always make sure the tool's magazine
is empty at the beginning of each work session, before connecting to an air supply.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others when loading nails.
Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
•
Connect the tool to the air supply.
•
Insert the strip of nails from the rear and slide all the
way forward. Be sure the tips are pointing down.
•
Pull the pusher to the rear of the magazine and then
let it slide forward until it rests against the rear of the
nail strip.
NOTE:
Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool (refer to the
Fastener Guide). The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading to
serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger activated.
Doing so could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use nails smaller than 0.050 in. nail shank diameter. Doing so
may cause nails to exit the tool prematurely. Do not use hardened nails with pneumatic
tools. This could lead to excessive wear of the driver channel and allow nails to exit the
back of the driver channel, leading to serious personal injury.
