AIR FITTING
A 3/8" (9.5 mm) male quick connector coupling may be used when a 1/4" (6.4 mm)
supply line is not available.
Always use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it
is disconnected from the power supply. Always use hose connectors that shut off
air supply from compressor when the tool is disconnected.
To install an air fitting
1.
Wrap the male end of the fitting with thread seal tape prior to assembly to
eliminate air leaks.
2.
To install a 1/4" (6.4 mm) fitting: screw it directly into the air inlet and tighten
firmly. NOTE: If an adapter is in the air inlet, remove it prior to inserting the
fitting.
3.
To install a 3/8" (9.5 mm) fitting: screw the fitting into the 3/8" (9.5 mm) adapter
and then into the air inlet of the tool and tighten firmly.
PREPARING THE TOOL
Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Tools at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear
protection when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself
and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and checks
before each use of the nailer.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, only use a non-detergent SAE
20 weight oil.
1.
Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been
properly drained.
2.
Lubricate tool:
a.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, only use a non-detergent SAE 20
weight oil
b.
Use a filter when possible.
c.
Add 5 to 7 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice a day.
3.
Always wear eye and ear protection.
4.
Ensure magazine is empty of all fasteners.
5.
Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip. Do not use tool if
assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER tamper with the contact trip.
NEVER use a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the actuated position.
6.
Check air supply: Ensure air pressure does not exceed recommended
operating limits; 70 to 120 psi, (4.9 to 8.3 bar, 5 to 8.5 kg/cm
7.
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
8.
Connect air hose.
9.
Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that leaks
or has damaged parts.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, always disconnect tool
from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed
fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing
the tool to another person.
