RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the tool.
1. The air compressor
must be able to
maintain a minimum
of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
2. An oiler can be
used to provide oil
circulation through
the tool. A filter can
be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can
rust or “gum up” internal parts of
the tool.
3. Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum working pressure
rating equal to or greater than the
pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever
is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch or
greater air hoses for 50 foot run or
longer.
4. Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 - 125 psi. A pressure
regulator is required to control
the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 and 100 psi.
OPERATIONAL MODE - SINGLE CYCLE
Always know the
operational mode of
the tool before using. Failure to know
the operational mode could result in
death or serious personal injury.
This tool requires the trigger to be
pulled each time a nail is driven. The
nailer can be actuated by depressing the
WCE against the work surface followed
by pulling the trigger.
The trigger must be released to reset
the tool before another nail can be
driven.
WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)
Check the operation
of the Work Contact
Element (WCE) trip mechanism before
each use. The WCE must move freely
without binding through its entire
travel distance. The WCE spring must
return the WCE to its fully extended
position after being depressed. Do
not operate the nailer if the WCE trip
mechanism is not operating properly.
Personal injury may occur.
1. Disconnect the air
supply from the tool.
2. Remove all fasteners
from the magazine
(see Loading/
Unloading).
3. Make sure the trigger
and work contact
element (WCE) move
freely up and down
without sticking or
binding.
4. Reconnect air supply
to the tool.
5. Depress the Work
Contact Element
(WCE) against the
work surface without
pulling the trigger.
The tool
MUST NOT OPERATE
.
Do not use the tool if it operates
without pulling the trigger. Personal
injury may result.
6. Remove the tool from
the work surface.
The Work Contact
Element (WCE) must
return to its original
down position. The tool
MUST NOT
OPERATE
. Do not use the tool if it
operates while lifted from the work
surface. Personal injury may result.
7. Pull the
trigger
and
depress
the work
contact
element (WCE) against the work
surface. The tool
MUST NOT
OPERATE
.
8. Depress
the Work
Contact
Element
(WCE)
against
the work surface. Pull the trigger.
The tool
MUST OPERATE
.
An
improperly
functioning
tool
must not be used. Do not actuate the
tool unless the tool is placed fi rmly
against the work piece.
