Depth-Of-Drive Adjustment - RIDGID R350RHF Manual Del Operador

OPERATION
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate
fastener placement.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Depress the actuation mode selector.
 Rotate the selector to Position ( ).
 Release the actuation mode selector.
WARNING:
The nailer will not function properly if the selector
is not securely seated in either position ( ) or
( ). Always ensure the selector is seated properly
to avoid an unexpected fastener discharge and
possible serious personal injury.
 Reconnect 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.
 Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
 Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
 Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of fasteners has been driven.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener place-
ment.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Depress the actuation mode selector.
 Rotate the selector to Position (
 Release the actuation mode selector.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
 Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
 Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the
work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive
a fastener.
 Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
 Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of fasteners has been driven.
NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be
operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the
surface and squeezing the trigger.

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.
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine is almost empty of nails, the dry-fire
lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with nails.
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 90-95 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the depth-of-drive adjustment on the tool.

DEPTH-OF-DRIVE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 9, page 16.
The depth-of-drive 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
depth-of-drive 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.
