OPERATION
NOTE: The jam-clearing slide should always be in place
when operating this tool. When using the tool, periodically
confirm that the tensioning wing nut is securely fastened.
DRIVING NAILS AT AN ANGLE
See Figures 16 - 17, page 19.
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.
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 eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
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.
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.
REMOVING NAILS
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Open the feeder cover and magazine cover (see Loading
the Tool with Nails).
Lift the nail strip from the spool and remove the remaining
coil of nails.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for
best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools added
through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts.
Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will
cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the
tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool
maintenance.
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.
