Preparing the tool

Selecting compressor

Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and compressor air output.

Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of approximately 40 times per minute at a compression of

0.8MPa (120 PSI). a compressor with an air output over 3CFM is required.

Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.

Nailing frequency (times/min.)

Selecting air hose

CAUTION. Low air output of the compressor or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool.

Tool lubrication

This framing nailer requires lubrication BEFORE initial use and BEFORE and AFTER each additional use throughout its life.

1.Disconnect the air hose, turn the framing nailer so the air inlet (12) is facing up. Place 2-3 drops of non detergent oil into the air inlet. This should be done before and after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneumatic nail gun oil is introduced. Do not use air tool oil as it contains solvents which will damage the nailer’s internal parts.

2.Lubricate the contact safety mechanism (1),

the latch (9), and the trigger (4) periodically.

3.After lubrication, run framing nailer briefly. Wipe off any excess oil from the exhaust port (3). The work surface can become damaged by excessive lubrication.

4.Framing nailer repairs must be done by a qualified and experienced service dealer.

Apply a few drops of oil to the trigger mechanism

Use an air hose with a large diameter and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.

With an air pressure of 0.80 MPa (120 PSI), an air hose with an internal diameter of over 6.5mm (1/4”) and a length of less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the interval between each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating of 1.06 MPa (150 PSI) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is higher.

Apply a thin coat of lightweight grease to the contact safety mechanism and the latch

Place a few drops of non-detergent oil into air inlet before each use
