OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Pneumatic FrameMaster® and Pneumatic FlexiMaster® are de-
signed to insert points into wooden frames to secure artwork, mat, glass,
and backing material. Fletcher Flexible Framer’s Points are used when it
is likely the secured material may be removed and reinstalled or re-
placed. Flexible Framer’s Points can be bent away from the material and
subsequently bent back in place.
Fletcher Framer’s Points are stiffer and provide greater holding power.
The two types of points are NOT interchangeable in the two pneumatic
point drivers.
Preparation of Point Driver
1.
Attach an air supply nipple (1/4 NPT) in place of the plastic
plug in the handle. Choose the fitting that is compatible to your air
hose fitting. Be sure to use the type which purges air from the driver
when disconnected.
2.
Connect the point driver to the air supply hose before loading
points, with the regulator set between 70 and 100 PSI, (5 to 7
BAR).
3.
An in-line filter and oiler will extend the life of the driver. If an
oiler is not in the air supply, place one or two drops of Air Tool Oil
(12-648) in the connection nipple each day.
4.
Check for air leakage and correct before proceeding.
5.
All air line components such as hoses, connectors, filters,
regulators, etc. must have a minimum pressure rating of 150
PSI (10 BAR), or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever
is greater.
Loading Points
Remember, Framer’s Points and Flexible Framer’s Points are not
interchangeable. Use only Fletcher brand points to insure proper fit and
avoid the possibility of damaging the driver and voiding the warranty.
