Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

CHN71600

Set-Up

 

Lubrication

60 psi Minimum

This tool requires no lubrication for normal operation. However, lubrication will not

 

harm the tool.

100 psi Maximum

 

The work surface can become damaged by excessive lubrication.

Minimum Components Required For Hook-up

AIR COMPRESSOR: The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving (see Chart 1).

PRESSURE REGULATOR: A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 60 psi and 100 psi.

AIR SUPPLY HOSE: Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch air hoses for 50 foot run or longer (see Figure 5 and Chart 2).

Hook-up Instructions For Stapler to Air Supply

Figure 6 shows the recommended hookup for the tool.

NOTE: For better performance, install a 3/8 inch quick plug (1/4 inch NPT threads) with an inside diameter of 0.315 inch (8 mm) on the tool and a 3/8 inch quick coupler on the air hose.

1.With ON/OFF switch in OFF position, plug compressor into electrical outlet.

2.Close pressure regulator by turning all the way to the left. Turn compressor ON and let it pump all the way up to automatic shut-off pressure.

3.Attach air hose to regulator outlet. Adjust pressure regulator by turning to the right so that outlet pressure is between 60 psi to 100 psi.

4.Load fasteners into tool (See Loading/Unloading the Stapler section on page 10).

5.Point the tool in a safe direction while attaching to air hose.

6.Tool is ready for use. You may need to adjust outlet pressure to achieve proper fastener depth.
