To operate your nailer/stapler:
1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2.Test the loaded nailer/stapler for prop- er penetration. Hold the nailer/stapler perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of staples/nails you have loaded. Depress the safety yoke mechanism on your workpiece.
3.Before pressing the trigger, make sure your free hand is positioned out of the way of a potential path of a sta- ple/nail in case of deflection. (Deflection is caused when the sta- ple/nail changes its path, resulting in the staple/nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece as shown in Figure
4.) |
Figure 4. Example of staple deflection.
Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the staple/nail deflects.
4.Press the trigger. If the staple/nail drove into the wood far enough, con- tinue with your intended operations. If the staple/nail either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will make the staple/nail go deeper and less air pressure will decrease the staple/nail penetration.
Clearing Jammed
Staples/Nails
The most frequent situation with any type of nailer/stapler is a jammed nail or staple. A jam must be cleared before using the nailer/stapler again. The two places where a jam can occur is the magazine and the discharge area.
Always disconnect air from the nail- er/stapler whenever clearing a jam!
To clear a jam from the magazine:
1.Disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply!
2.Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all the way back.
3.Locate and remove the jammed sta- ple/nail with a pair of needle nose pli- ers. Close the magazine cover so it latches.
To clear a jam from the discharge area:
1.Disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply!
2.Remove all of the staples/nails from the magazine.
3.The jammed staple/nail should now be visible; remove it from the dis- charge area with needle nose pliers.
4.Replace the staples/nails. Push the magazine closed and snap the quick release latch back into operating posi- tion.
