MAINTENANCE

Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:

◆

Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Empty the magazine completely.

◆

WARNING:

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.
Never exceed 120psi.

CAUTION:

Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air
connector,
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air connector
when the tool is not in use.

check it after unpacking.

ANTI DUST CAP

Always know the operational mode of the
tool before using. Failure to know the
operational mode could result in death or
serious personal injury.

WARNING:

FIRING THE TOOL

The tool is specially designed for single sequential
mode. This mode requires the trigger to be pulled
each time a fastener is driven. The tool can be
actuated by depressing the WCE against the work
surface followed pulling the trigger.
The trigger must be released to reset the tool before
another fastener can be driven.

An improperly functioning tool must not
be used. Do not actuate the tool unless the
tool is placed firmly against the work
place.

WARNING:

WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)

Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
Make sure the trigger and work contact element
move freely up and down without sticking or
binding.
Reconnect air supply to the tool.
Depress the work contact element against the
work surface without pulling the trigger. The tool
must not operate. Do not use the tool if it
operates without pulling the trigger. Personal
injury may result.
Remove the tool from the work surface. The
work contact element (WCE) must return to its
original down position. The tool must not
operate. Do not use the tool if it operates while
lifted from the work surface. Personal injury may
result.
Pull the trigger and depress the work contact
element(WCE) against the work surface. The
tool must not operate.
Depress the work contact element(WCE)
against the surface. Pull the trigger. The tool
must operate.

⒏

Check the operation of the work contact
element trip mechanism before each use.
The WCE must move freely without
binding through its entire travel distance.
The WCE spring must return the WCE to
its fully extended position after being
depressed. Do not operate the tool if the
WCE trip mechanism is not operating
properly. Personal injury may occur.

CAUTION:

⒋
⒌

The tool is uniquely designed not to need daily
lubrication. But lubrication is required for best
performance after long periods of use. Oil for
pneumatic fastening tools is added through the air
line connection and will lubricate internal parts. Do
not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants
will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.

LUBRICATION

Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.

CAUTION:

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.

Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.

CAUTION:

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

CLEANING

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.

CAUTION:

Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.

WARNING:

The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 60psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
through the tool. A filter can be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum
up internal parts of the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum
working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source if a regulator
fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air
hose for runs up to 50'. and use 3/8" quick
coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
with an operating pressure of 0-125psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 60psi and
110psi.
