3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Loading Fasteners (refer also to the technical data)
1. Load the fasteners into the end of the magazine.
2.
Press the latch mechanism and pull back
to the last BNS in the strip and release.
3.2 General Operating Instructions
3.2.1 Types of Actuating and Triggering Systems.
For tools without a contact safety:
Single Sequential Trip fire :
Fasteners can only be fired by first activating the contact safety(by holding the tool against the work
piece) and then by squeezing the trigger, thereafter any further driving operations can only be actuated
after the trigger has been returned to the starting position. The sequential trip tool allows exact fastener
location without the possibility of driving a second fastener location without the possibility of driving a
second fastener due to recoil.
3.2.2 Operating Procedures
Protective equipment:
Before using any tool always ensure that you and those in the work area are using
the appropriate working equipment
Firing a fastener:
To fire a fastener hold forks on the nose of the tool against the clip, if the tool has a
contact safety it will be necessary to push the tool forward so as to depress the safety, following which
squeeze the trigger to fire a fastener.
Do multiple test runs with scraps of the actual materials that you intend to use before starting
the deck (until the desired set is achieved).
Exhaust Air:
each time a fastener is driven a blast of air is exhausted from the top front area of the tool,
keep your face clear of this, some tools incorporate a 360 exhaust, which enables you to control the
direction of the exhaust gases.
Depth Control:
check whether the fastener has been driven into the work piece in accordance with the
requirements, the driven depth can be controlled by adjusting air pressure only.
Drive fasteners tight, but
do not over drive or you will deform the clip.
90 to 100 PSI is
recommended.
Always use the lowest possible air pressure for the following reasons:
- Save energy
- Less noise will be produced
- A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be achieved
