Depth-Of-Drive Adjustment - RIDGID R09895 Manual Del Operador

OPERATION
WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immedi-
ately 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. Re-
striction 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 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.
REFILLING THE AIR PRESSURE TANK
See Figure 7, page 16.
After the intial use, you may notice a decrease in perfor-
mance. Refilling the air pressure tank to 125 psi can help
restore the unit's perfomance.
 Remove the battery pack and all nails from the tool.
 Remove the plastic cover from the bottom of the tool with
the included hex wrench.
 Twist slightly and remove the plastic cap from the air fill
valve.
 Connect an air compressor to the valve and pressurize the
tank to a maximum of 125 psi. Allow the tool to recharge
for approximately 30 seconds.
NOTE: It is normal to hear a hissing sound while the tank
is being refilled. Do not overfill. Always check the pressure before use. If overfilling occurs, a safety overflow valve will
open to allow the excessive pressure to escape. Once the
pressure has decreased, the valve will close automatically.
WARNING:
Never pressurize tank to more than 125 psi. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
 Disconnect the air compressor and replace the plastic
cap and cover before use.
 Reattach the plastic cover to the bottom of the tool with
the included hex wrench.

DEPTH-OF-DRIVE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 8, page 16.
The depth-of-drive of the nail may be adjusted. It is advis-
able to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine
the required depth for the application.
To achieve the desired depth, use the depth-of-drive adjust-
ment on the tool.
 Remove the battery pack and remove nails from the tool.
 Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
 Install the battery and reload the tool with nails.
 Press the grip switch to activate the tool.
 Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
NOTE: Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that
will meet your needs.
DRIVING NAILS AT AN ANGLE
See Figure 9, page 16.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
pointed away from yourself and others.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is positioned correctly. Driving at an angle that is too steep may:
• cause the nail to miss the workpiece
• cause the nail to ricochet
• cause the workpiece to splinter, causing the nail to come
back toward the operator.
WARNING:
Never drive a nail at an angle by tilting the tool
forward. This could lead to the fastener missing
the work surface or bouncing off the work surface,
leading to serious injury.
WARNING:
Remove the battery and remove nails from the
tool before removing nails or clearing a jammed
fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 10, page 16.
 Remove the battery pack.
 To remove a strip of nails from the tool, press the release
button on the pusher and guide it to the top of the maga-
zine. When released, the pusher will slide forward.
NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine
to prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher.
