VII. OPERATIONS

D. TEST FIRING

Whenever changing fastener size or composi- tion of material being fastened, the gun should be tested to ensure that the air pressure is set correctly and the gun is working properly.

To test fire the gun, wear safety glasses and follow the steps below:

1.Select a sample workpiece similar in composition to the type of material you will be fastening.

2.Firmly press the safety nose down against the sample piece.

3.Pull trigger.

4.Inspect your results. If the nail is set too far into the workpiece, reduce the regu- lated air pressure. If the nail is not set or protrudes above the work surface, increase the air pressure. However, do not exceed the maximum air pressure recommended for the gun or the hose (120 p.s.i. for the gun).

5.Disconnect the air hose from the gun when finished.

6.Unload fasteners. See Section VII.B.

E. ROUTINE USE

To operate the nail gun under routine con- ditions, always wear safety glasses and:

1.Line up the gun nose with the area on the workpiece you intend to fasten.

2.Hold the gun straight and perpendicular to the work surface.

3.Firmly press safety nose against the workpiece so that the gun nose rests on the workpiece.

4.Pull trigger.

DO NOT DROP GUN. Repeated dropping will result in misalignment of the nose and jam- ming or breakage could occur. This is a preci- sion tool, not a hammer.

This gun can also be continuously fired by holding down on the trigger and firmly press- ing the safety nose against the workpiece each time you wish to shoot a fastener.

However, due to the inherent instability and danger involved with that practice, we strongly recommend against it.

DO NOT FORGET TO DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY AND UNLOAD FASTENERS WHEN FINISHED USING THE GUN.
