OPERATION
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.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 5, page 15.
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.
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 must have an air fitting that allows all pressure to discharge from the tool when the air hose connector is disconnected.
loading the tool with NAILS
See Figures 6 - 7, page 15 - 16.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the tool to the air supply before loading nails 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.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool. The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Always use an air fitting that discharges all the compressed air in the tool at the time the air fitting and air hose connector is disconnected. Using an air fitting 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.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger activated. Doing so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Push the latch to release andopen the magazine.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, insert a strip of nails into the magazine. Be sure the nails are pointed downward.
CORRECT NAIL POSITION
Nails should always be inserted with the points down- ward, fitting into the nail track, or as close as possible to the nail track.
Nail heads must sit either on the top edge of a rib or inside a track between two ribs.
Nail heads should never lie on top of a rib without sitting on the rib edge. Do not position nail heads in the center of a rib.
The strip of nails should not be centered in the magazine or positioned at the top portion of the magazine.
If the nail points will not sit inside the track without sitting incorrectly on a rib, move the nail strip up slightly until the heads sit on the top edge of a rib.
To close the magazine, depress the latch and push the magazine forward. Release the latch and make sure the latch is securely locked into place before driving a nail.
