OPERATION
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 drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 11, page 15.
The driving depth 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 drive
depth 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.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical 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.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 12, page 15.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, depress
the latch located at the rear of the magazine and slide the
magazine open.
Remove the nail strip.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 13, page 15.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect
the air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while
clearing the jam.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Open magazine and remove fasteners from the tool.
Pull up on the latch and open the jam release.
Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the driving mechanism
and push the driver mechanism back, freeing the fastener
jam.
Remove the bent fastener.
Close the jam release and latch.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Reinstall fasteners and close the magazine.
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.
