4. PREPARATION 

  

WARNING! 

Ensure the air supply is clean, dry and between 60 - 100psi while operating the nail gun. Too high an air pressure and/or   

 

unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury. 

4.1. AIR 

SUPPLY (From a compressor not a gas bottle

)

4.1.1  Ensure the nail gun trigger release slide is not depressed when connecting to the air supply.

4.1.2  You will require an air pressure of between 60 - 100psi, and an air flow according to specification. 

4.1.3  Drain your compressor air tank of water daily. Water in the air line will damage the nail gun. 

4.1.4  Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.2.

4.1.5  Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be  

 

1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions. 

4.1.6  Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.

WARNING! 

Never use non relieving couplers and/or female quick disconnect couplings on the tool. Non relieving couplings

 

and female couplings will trap high pressure air in the tool when the air line is disconnected. This will leave the tool charged with  

 

 

enough air after it has been disconnected to drive a staple. Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be fitted to the tool, so  

 

that high pressure air in the tool is vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is disconnected.

5.1. 

Adjusting air pressure

5.1.1. 

Set the regulator at the air delivery system to a PSI that falls within the tool's operating range of 60-100PSI. 

5.1.2. 

The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.This depends on the length of the nails and the hardness of the wood.

5.2. 

Connecting air supply

5.2.1. 

Snap the air hose onto the quick connector. Check for air leakage. If leakage is noted, stop using the tool immediately and seek repair  

 

by qualified personnel.

5.2.2. 

Be sure the air pressure gauge is operating properly and check it at least twice a day.
