OPERATIONS
General Operations
If you have not read the safety instruc- tions in this manual, do not operate the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place five to six drops of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the nailer con- nects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2.Hold the nail firmly in place with one hand as if using a regular hammer.
3.Make sure you are positioned out of the way of a potential path of a nail in case of deflection.
Deflection is caused when grain irreg- ularities, knots or foreign objects inside the wood cause the nail to change its path, resulting in the nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Example of nail deflection.
4.Place the tip of the palm nailer over the end of the nail. When the ram pin touches the nail head, it will automati- cally begin to hammer the nail into the workpiece. Hold the nailer in place until the sliding depth guide is fully depressed.
5.You can stop the nailer at any time by simply lifting it away from the nail and workpiece. This is useful if you do not wish for the nail to be countersunk into the workpiece.
5.When the nail is fully hammered into the workpiece, the nailer will automati- cally stop.
Note: The air palm nailer will automati- cally countersink all nails to a depth of around 2mm or 5⁄64".
Operation of this nailer has the poten- tial to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear
