CORRECT FASTENER DEPTH
Being satisfied the tool is operating correctly, drive a fastener in to the work piece. If you require a deeper depth or
drive increase the working pressure a little at a time to until the correct depth of drive is achieved. Do NOT
exceed the maximum working pressure for the model in question. If fasteners are driven to deep reverse the
above process of adjustment, again considering the working minimum pressure of the model in question.
OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
NOISE
(See Tool Data columns H,I & J)
Noise levels were measured in line with EN12549. These values are those for the specific tools in controlled
conditions and do not consider noise development or noise levels or variables encountered at the point of use,
including mounting of tools onto machinery, noise dampening materials, working tables, etc.
VIBRATION
(see Tool Data columns K)
Vibration levels were measured in line with ISO/WD 8662-11.These values do not represent the influence on the
hand-arm system when using the tool. This is determined by many variables including the force with which the tool
is gripped, working angles/directions, the type of material being fastened, the material and design of tables, etc.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOOL MAINTENANCE
Only those authorized agents of Pallet Nail or other experts* are permitted to conduct repairs or service and
must give due regard to the safety, operating and maintenance instructions in this manual. (* those as a result of
experience or professional training, have sufficient knowledge in the field of fastener driving tools and that are
able to evaluate correctly the safe condition of said tools). When diagnosing problems or servicing take particular
care and follow the warnings and guidance in all sections of this operation and safety manual.
In addition:
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the magazine before starting service or repairs.
• Genuine PALLET NAIL replacement parts are recommended. Do not parts that cannot guarantee equal
performance to the original.
• Do NOT use modified parts.
• Service or repairs should be completed using a suitable O ring lubricant such as Magna-Lube G and ensuring
internal parts are clean and lubed accordingly.
• For other pivoting or moving area a small quantity of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots, for best service also
ensure oiling is completed by adding a few drops of Mobil Velocite Oil No. 10 into the air inlet of the tool, do
NOT over oil and this has a negative effect on performance.
• Consult the Trouble shooting table for common issues
• Contact us if you are unsure of any maintenance, service or tool performance issues
DRIVER SETTING
Driver wear is the most common service/maintenance issues on most pneumatic nailers and will become
deformed after repeated use. The driver can be re-dressed or adjusted by an expert * by up to 3mm, this
can ensure that fasteners are driven straight & correct depth into the work piece, reduce jamming and feeding
issues. The length of the driver can be measured and set at a position as noted in column S & T in the data
table at the rear of this manual.
