The new
UFO NSDPP38/40RCS
installation tool drives a
UFO Ballistic NailScrew
®
(BNS)
in like a
nail and can be removed like a traditional #1 SQ Robertson
®
drive screw.
The operator needs to perform only three easy steps:
1.
Drop the Mantis™ Clip™ into the EZ Slide
. The clip should be
loaded where you can read the name Mantis™ on the back. The
raised portion (tab) of the clip will be to the front of the slide.
The slide has a magnet to keep the clip from falling out.
2.
Place the RCS Eliminator™ flat on the
joist and push forward
. Pushing the tool
forward slides the base of the Mantis™
clip under the decking material. The tab
of the clip should slide into the groove.
Make sure the forks of the tool are holding
the Mantis™ Clip tight. You should see
the clip align with the deck board and fit snug.
3.
Pull the trigger
. UFO Ballistic NailScrews® (PPN150)
PTPPNS112113SQB, PTPPNS214113SQB,
SSPPNS112113SQB (Stainless Steel), & PLNS112113SQST
(Full Thread for Steel) are available in carbon or stainless steel
with a black PPG1500™ E Coat. These NailScrews
®
can also be
used in other 34
°
tools and with other clip systems.
Any defective or improperly functioning tool must be immediately
disconnected from the compressed air supply
and passed to a
specialist for inspection.
3.3 Precautionary Measures
-
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
-
Remove finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on the
trigger, as the tool will fire a fastener if the safety is bumped.
-
Keep the tool pointed in a safe direction at all times, never pointing it toward yourself or others whether
it contains fasteners or not.
-
Never attempt, to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at too steep an angle or near the edge
of the work piece, the fastener can ricochet causing personal injury. Remember, always hold nose right
up to and firmly against the work material.
-
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing any maintenance, leaving the work area,
moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
-
Always, disconnect the tool before clearing any jams. To remove a jam just remove the driver guide
cover plate or if applicable open the quick release and remove the obstructing nail.
-
Carefully check the tool for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless
both the trigger and safety mechanism and any other of the operating control are functional or if the tool
is leaking air or needs repair.
-
Written approval of the tool manufacturer must be obtained prior to making any modifications to the
tool.
