contaminants that can harm the internal
components of the tool. An air line filter will
remove most of these and significantly prolong the
life of the tool. If you are using an in-line automatic
oiler, check and add oil if necessary. If an in-line
oiler is not available, place 5 or 6 drops of oil into
the tool’s quick-connect fitting (
fig 2, F
) at the
beginning of each workday. More than this will be
expelled from the tool’s exhaust during firing.
PREPARING THE TOOL
Air Fitting: The FNC1590 is equipped with a 1/4”
NPT male plug for a ‘quick connector’. To prevent
accidental cycling even though disconnected, the
tool must always be connected to the air supply
in such a way that all air pressure in it is released
when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe,
connectors, filters, & regulators, etc.) must be
rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi
/ 1034 kPa / 10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum
system pressure, whichever is greater. Please
try to use a hose of ID 3/8” connecting nailer with
compressor.
Do not connect this tool to a system with maxi-
mum potential pressure greater than 180 psi
(1241 kPa, 12.4 bar)
Disconnect your air line from your nailer using the
quick connect on the air hose. Do not unscrew
the air inlet from the nailer with your air hose con-
nected.
Disconnect tool from air supply before performing
maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leav-
ing work area, moving tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person.
LOADING FASTENERS
1. After reading and understanding this entire
manual, connect tool to the air supply.
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others
at all times.
