4.2 Tool use
• The tool shall not be connected to pressure which potentially exceeds recommended
operating pressure by 10%.
• In the case of higher pressures, a pressure reducing valve which includes
a downstream safety valve shall be built into the compressed air supply.
• Use only clean, dry regulated compressed air at recommended pressure.
• Connect the tool to the compressed air supply using suitable pressure
hose equipped with quick-action connectors.
• The compressor plant shall be adequately dimensioned in terms of
pressure output and performance (volumetric flow) for the consumption
which is to be expected.
• Line sections which are too small in relation to the length of the line (pipes
and hoses), as well as overloading the compressor, will result in pressure
drops.
• Easily accessible water separators should be installed at the lowest points.
• Connecting points for the tools should be fitted with a compressed air servicing unit
(filter/water separator/oiler) directly at the junction point.
• Oilers must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary topped up with the
recommended grade of oil (see technical specification).
• Where hose lengths of over 10 m are used, the oil supply for the tool cannot be
guaranteed, it is therefore recommend that 2 to 5 drops (depending on the loading
of the tool) of the recommended oil (see technical specifications) should be added
via the air inlet of the tool, or an oiler attached directly to the fastener driving tool.
• Disconnect the tool from air supply before loading the tool.
Open the magazine
• Pull down door latch and swing the door, then swing magazine cover open.
Automatic sliding for nail holder
The nail holder will slide out automatically once magazine cover open, easy for user to
reload the nails.
• Pull pusher (B) back into"locked" (C) position.
• Insert strip of nails into the top of the magazine (A). Do not load with safety or trigger
depressed.
• Release pusher by pressing latch and pulling pusher together lightly to disengage,
slide pusher against nails.
• Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others and connect tool to air supply.
• Tool actuation is full sequential actuation mode.
• With your finger off the trigger, place the safety yoke on the surface of the material the
nail will be driven into. Apply pressure pressing the safety yoke all the way down.
• Pull the trigger to shoot a nail into the material.
• The tool will not shoot again until the trigger is released and the safety yoke is removed
completely from the material being used.
• To fire the next nail, repeat the steps above.
• Tools shall be operated at the lowest pressure needed for the application. This will
reduce noise levels, part wear and energy use.
• Adjust the mini pressure which is necessary for the penetration of the nails.
• Then test, starting with the lowest pressure.
