MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical RIDGID replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

LUBRICATION

The cylinder, o-ring, and piston ring in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.

CAUTION:

Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools’ operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.

NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to “O” rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.

AIRSUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME

Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of under- size fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pres- sure reading is high. The results will be a slow operation or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, low points contain- ing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.

This flexibility ensures that users can tackle different applications without needing multiple tools.

The R150FSA is equipped with a tool-free depth adjustment feature, allowing users to set the nail depth with ease. This ensures that nails are driven to the exact desired depth, minimizing the risk of over- or under-driven nails, which can compromise the quality of the work.

In addition to its depth adjustment, the built-in selective actuation switch gives users the option to choose between sequential and contact firing modes. This two-in-one functionality provides the flexibility to switch between precision placement and rapid nail driving, depending on the job requirements.

Safety and ease of use are also key considerations with the RIDGID R150FSA. It features a non-marring nose to protect work surfaces from scratches and dents. The integrated air filter prevents debris from entering the tool, which helps maintain optimal performance and prolongs its lifespan.

Another notable characteristic of this finish nailer is its low nail indicator, which alerts users when they are running low on fasteners. This feature minimizes downtime, enabling users to quickly reload and continue with their projects.

Overall, the RIDGID R150FSA combines innovative technology with practical design, making it a must-have tool for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. With its outstanding performance, built-in safety features, and versatility, it is a reliable choice for achieving high-quality results in any finish nailing task.
