Unloading is the reverse of loading. Always
disconnect the tool from air source before
unloading.
!
!
Make sure there are no fasteners in
magazine before clearing a jam.
!
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After
disconnecting the tool from the air
compressor, there should still be
enough air pressure to fire the tool.
After the air hose is disconnected,
always fire the tool into scrap wood
repeatedly to make sure all of the
compressed air is expended.
!
Occasionally, a fastener may
become jammed
in the firing
mechanism of the tool, making the
tool inoperable. To remove a
jammed fastener,
follow these steps
below:
Disconnect the tool from air source.
Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to
do so will cause the fasteners to eject from
the front of the tool.
Loosen the small nose screws (E) and
remove the top nose plate (F) to reveal the
jammed fastener.
Using caution not to bend or damage the
driver blade, using pliers or a screwdriver if
required to clear the jammed fastener.
Put the nose plate (F) back on the nose,
fastening it with the screws (E).
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
Reload the tool with fasteners.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends
on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece
material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test
nail into the same type of workpiece material
used for the actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at
90-95 psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find
the lowest setting that will perform the job with
consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth
with air pressure adjustments alone.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners is adjustable.
To adjust the depth, use the drive depth
adjustment wheel (H) on the tool.
Disconnect the tool from air source.
Turn the depth wheel left or right to change
the driving depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until
the desired depth is set.
