OPERATING PROCEDURES
SETUP: 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 (RNS-18G-001-61) to release the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT
(RNS-18G-001-57) and pull the magazine out fully as shown in FIGURE 3.
3. Place a full stick of the desired type and size of fasteners on the FIXED MAGAZINE
UNIT (RNS-18G-001-53). Up to 100 fasteners can be loaded in the magazine.
4. Push the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT (RNS-18G-001-57) forward until the LOCK
Fig. 3
(RNS-18G-001-61) 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
/ 413 to 690 kPa / 4.13 to 6.9 bar limits mentioned in SPECIFICATIONS.
3. Hold the BODY (RNS-18G-001-24) and press tool against the work surface, allowing it
to push the SAFE BRACKET ASSEMBLY (RNS-18G-001-29) in, until the FRONT PLATE
(RNS-18G-001-47) contacts the work surface, being sure the tool is perpendicular to
the surface.
4. Gently squeeze the TRIGGER (RNS-18G-001-39) to drive the fastener.
5. Lift the tool off the work surface.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
1. Caution: Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Depress the LOCK (RNS-18G-001-61) to release the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT
(RNS-18G-001-57) and pull the magazine out fully as shown in FIGURE 3.
3. Remove any remaining fasteners from the tool.
4. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost position. Remove
the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers.
