OPERATION
DRIVING A FASTENER
See Figure 8, page 16.
WARNING:
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so could result in possible serious injury.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
Single sequential actuation provides accurate fastener placement.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose of the tool onto the work surface.
Push the tool against the work surface to depress the workpiece contact.
Pull the trigger to drive a fastener.
Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the fastener is driven.
WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
setting the AIR pressure
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
drivE depth ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 9, page 16.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing nails. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
removing nails from the tool
See Figure 10, page 16.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
To remove a strip of nails from the tool, depress the latch located at the rear of the magazine and slide the magazine open.
Remove the nail strip.
To close the magazine, depress the latch and push the magazine forward. Release the latch to hold the magazine in place.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 11, page 16.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while clearing the jam.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Open magazine and remove fasteners from the tool.
Pull up on the latch and open the jam release.
Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the driving mechanism and push the driver mechanism back, freeing the fastener jam.
Remove the bent fastener.
Close the jam release and latch.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Reinstall fasteners and close the magazine.
