OPERATION
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener
into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual
job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 80-85 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 drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 10.
The pinner is factory-set to its maximum depth.The driving
depth of the fastener may be adjusted to a more shallow
depth. 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 fastener.
NOTE: Fasteners of more than -3/6 in. in length may not
drive flush in dense woods.
To fine-adjust to a shallower depth of drive:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Using a 3 mm hex key, loosen the two bolts on the front
plate. Do not remove the bolts.
Slide the front plate toward the nose slightly. Adjustment
is accomplished with very little movement of the front
plate.
The plate should be positioned so that it cannot slip over
the bolts.
Tighten the bolts securely with the hex key.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
