lOADINg thE tOOl WIth FAStENERS
See figure 3 - 4.
WARNINg
Only those fasteners specified under Specifications
may be used. When filling the magazine, hold the tool
so that the muzzle is not pointing towards the operator
or any other person or animals.
WARNINg
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool
is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the
tool to a pressurized air supply before loading fasteners
to prevent injury from unintended cycling. Always make
sure the tool’s magazine is empty at the beginning of
each work session, before connecting to an air supply.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2. Release the magazine lock and slide open the
magazine.
3. With the muzzle of the tool pointed away from you,
feed a strip of fasteners into the magazine. Be sure the
fasteners are pointed downward.
WARNINg
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading fasteners. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
4. Close the magazine.
NOtE:
Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.
WARNINg
Use only the fasteners recommended for use with this
tool. The use of any other fasteners can result in tool
malfunction, leading to serious injuries.
WARNINg
Never load fasteners with the trigger activated. Doing
so could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNINg
Do not use fasteners with width smaller than that stated
in Specifications. Doing so may cause fasteners to exit
the tool prematurely through the guide track. Do not use
hardened fasteners with pneumatic tools. This could
lead to excessive wear of the guide body and allow
fasteners to exit the back of the guide body, leading to
serious personal injury.
DRIVINg A FAStENER
See figure 5.
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the magazine
is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving tool
must immediately be disconnected from the compressed
air supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of the
working shift, disconnect the tool from the compressed air
supply and it is recommended to empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving tool
and the hoses should be protected against contamination,
the ingress of coarse dust chips, sand, etc, will result in
leaks and damage to the fastener driving tool and the
couplings.
Single sequential actuation mode
The tool employs single sequential actuation mode.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2. Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the
muzzle of the tool onto the work surface.
3. Press and trigger lock and then squeeze the trigger to
drive a fastener.
4. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven.
5. Always remove your finger from the trigger after the
fastener has been driven.
WARNINg
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. this is a normal function of
the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.
Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do
not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust
at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
SEttINg thE AIR pRESSURE
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning
correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the
trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work
piece in accordance with the requirements.
● If the fastener is protruding, increase the air
pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the
result after each new adjustment;
● If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar
until the result is satisfactory.
Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give
you three significant advantages;
1. Energy will be saved,
