Compressed Air System
The Model H2912/H2913 is designed to be operated at
the maximum operating pressure for your model.
Before you use your new nailer/stapler,
install the 3⁄8" quick connect fitting that comes with the nailer/stapler. Install a female 3⁄8" fitting on the air hose. Regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your model.
Many pneumatic tools benefit from an in- line filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This attachment is connected by hoses between the air compressor and the sta- pler. Using this unit protects your tool from damaging water
Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may cause the nailer/stapler to explode, blowing metal fragments in all directions. To protect yourself from serious person- al injury, DO NOT allow your air com- pressor to exceed the recommended pressure when connected to the nail- er/stapler!
Safety Yoke Mechanism
A safety yoke mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the nailer/stapler acts as a sec- ondary safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer/stapler will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your nailer/stapler for the first time, check the safety yoke mecha- nism to ensure proper function. To do this:
1.Make sure the nailer/stapler is dis- connected from the air supply!
2.Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails or staples.
3.Make sure the trigger and the safety yoke mechanism move up and down without sticking.
4.Connect the nailer/stapler to the air supply.
5.Without pressing the trigger, depress the safety yoke mechanism against a scrap piece of wood that is clean and free of any knots, staples, or other foreign objects. If the nailer/stapler does not fire, then the safety yoke mechanism is working correctly. If the nailer/stapler does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply and call our customer ser- vice for help.
Similarly if the nailer/stapler fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke mechanism being depressed, then the nailer/stapler is not working properly.
If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your nailer/stapler for a period of time, check the lubrication of these mechanisms.
The safety yoke is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on the safety yoke mechanism as an excuse to point the tool at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
