LOADING FASTENERS
Remember these warnings when loading fasteners
-
Protect your eyes. Always wear qualified eye protection which provides both
frontal and side protection. It is the responsibility of the employer and the user
to ensure that proper protective equipment is worn by the operator and others
in the vicinity.
-
Always disconnect the tool from air supply before loading fasteners.
-
Never point the tool at anyone - always load the tool pointing away from you and others.
-
Never pull the trigger while loading the tool.
-
Never place your hand or other body parts in the fastener discharge area of the tool.
-
Always handle the tool with care. Never engage in horseplay.
Loading fasteners
OPERATION
-
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning correctly, apply the tool to a test
piece and actuate the trigger. Check whether the fastener has been driven into the workpiece in
accordance with requirements:
-
if the fastener is protruding, increase the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar and check
the result after each new adjustment;
-
if the fastener is driven into excessive depth, reduce the air pressure in increments of
0,5 bar until the result is satisfactory.
-
You should endeavor in any event to work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give
you three significant advantages:
-
energy will be saved,
-
less noise will be produced,
-
a reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be achieved.
-
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the magazine is empty.
-
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving tool must immediately be disconnect-
ed from the compressed air supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
-
In the event of longer breaks in the work or at the end of the working shift, disconnect the tool
from the compressed air supply and empty the magazine.
-
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving tool and the hoses should be protected
against contamination. The ingress of coarse dust chips, sand etc. will result in leaks and dam-
age to the fastener driving tool and the couplings.
