CLEANING
WARNING
When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassembly any
portion of the tool since internal components may be
misplaced or safety components may be improperly
mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia. etc. may damage plastic parts and
o-rings.
WARNING
Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects
through openings. Sharp edges may damage internal
components causing a serious hazard.
Ventilation openings, the work contact element, and the
trigger must be kept clean and free of foreign matter.
Periodically clean the tool with compressed air.
Clean the magazine. Remove metal or wooden chips which
may have accumulated in the magazine. Periodically clean
magazine with compressed air.
STORAGE
WARNING
Keep out of reach of children and personnel unfamiliar
with tool operation. Lock the storage area. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of personnel unfamiliar with the
tool.
When not in use, the tool should be disconnected and stored
in the storage case in a warm and dry place. When tool will
not be in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of the
lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
Do not store the tool in a cold weather environment.
HOOKUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOOL
TO AIR SUPPLY
NOTE:
For better performance, install a 3/8 inch quick plug (1/4 inch
NPT threads) with an inside diameter of 0.315 inch (8mm)
on the nailer and a 3/8 inch quick coupler on the air hose.
1. With ON/OFF switch in OFF position, plug compressor
into electrical outlet.
2. Close pressure regulator by turning all the way to the
left. Turn compressor ON and let it pump all the way up
to automatic shut-off pressure.
3. Attach air hose to regulator outlet. Adjust pressure
regulator by turning to the right so that outlet pressure is
between 70PSI to 115PSI.
4. Load fasteners into nailer.
5. Point the nailer in a safe direction while attaching to air
hose.
6. Nailer is ready for use. You may need to adjust outlet
pressure to achieve proper fastener depth.
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
MINIMUM COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR
HOOKUP
Air compressor:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 70PSI when the nailer is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
Pressure regulator:
A pressure regulator is required to
control the operating pressure of the nailer between 70PSI
and 115PSI .
Air supply hose: Always use air supply hoses with a
minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater
than the pressure from the power source, or 150PSI,
whichever is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for runs up to
50 feet (15.2 meters). Use 3/8 inch air hose for 50 feet
(15.2 meters), run or longer.
