DANGER: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to
avoid accidental firing. Never carry tool with finger on trigger. In “Contact
Actuation Mode” tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped while trigger is
depressed.
Never point tool at yourself or others in work area.
Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at
too steep an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener
can ricochet causing personal injury.
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before performing
maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area,
moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
WARNING: Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper
operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool
unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or
if the tool is leaking air or needs
any other repair.
The depth to which a fastener is
driven is controlled by the depth
adjustment knob (A) Fig. 25. The
depth of drive is factory adjusted to
a nominal setting. Test fire a
fastener and check depth. If a
change is desired, rotate the
adjustment knob (A) Fig. 25. The
adjustment knob has detents every
1
/
4
turn. Rotate the knob (A) Fig. 25
clockwise to increase the depth of drive,
rotate the knob counterclockwise to decrease
the depth of drive. Test fire another fastener
and check depth. Repeat as necessary to
achieve desired results. The amount of air
pressure required will vary depending on the
size of the fastener and the material being
fastened. Experiment with the air pressure
setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job
at hand (Fig. 25B). Air pressure in excess of that required can cause
premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
A rubber nose cushion (A) Fig. 26 is provided to reduce marring of the work
surface. The rubber cushion can be removed, and stored inside knob (B) Fig.
27, to provide increased depth-of-drive for toe-nailing applications.
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or
installing rubber cushion.
