DIAL-A-DEPTH™ FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

The DIAL-A-DEPTH™ Fastener control adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth: from flush with the work surface to shallow or deep countersink.

First set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as described on page 4, then use the DIAL-A-DEPTH™ fastener control knob to give the desired depth of drive.

CLEANING THE ROOFING NAILER

Do not use gasoline or similar highly flammable liquids to clean the nailer. Vapor could be ignited by a spark, causing an explosion.

Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and trip lever. This can prevent correct operation. Remove any buildup with kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.

Do not dunk the nailer into these solvents beyond the height of the nail

heads, to avoid getting the solvent into the drive cylinder. Dry off the nailer before use. Any oil film left after cleanup will accelerate the tar buildup, and the nailer will require more frequent re-cleaning.

NOTE: Solvents sprayed on the nose to clean and free up the trip may have the opposite effect! The solvent may soften the tar on the shingles and cause tar buildup to be accelerated. Dry operation is better, as noted above.
