OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE TOOL

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.

This tool is shipped from the factory with a “single sequential actuation” trigger. To fire, grip the tool firmly to maintain control, position nose of tool onto work surface, push the tool firmly against work surface to depress safety (S) Fig. 28, and squeeze trigger to fire a nail. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as nail is driven. This “single sequential actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement.

Fig. 28

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

Clean and inspect 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.

The depth to which a nail is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob (A) Fig.

29.The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nominal setting. Test fire a fastener and

check depth. If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob (A) Fig. 29. The adjustment knob has detents every 1/4 turn. Rotate the knob (A) Fig. 29 clockwise to increase the depth of drive, rotate the knob counterclockwise to decrease the depth of drive. Test fire another fastener and check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
