FASTENING TOOLS

Operating the Tool
Test the driving depth in a sample piece of wood before using. If
the fasteners are being driven too far or not far enough, adjust the
depth drive adjuster. Rotate clockwise to decrease depth. Counter
clockwise to increase depth. Test on sample piece.
• Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is in
correct range denoted in section of TECHNICAL DATA.
• Load fasteners as directed in the section called LOADING THE
FASTENERS.
• Hold the body and press the drive guide to work surface, be sure
the tool is straight and then gently depress the trigger to drive
the fastener.
• Lift the tool off the work surface.
The tool has two driving modes:
Sequential fire:
• Choose the correct mode before firing by rotating the FIRING
MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (Fig. C).
• Put the nose on the working surface, lightly push the tool toward
the working surface until the SAFETY BRACKET is depressed,
then, depress the trigger to drive the fasteners. Whilst maintaining
contact with the working surface, the tool will drive a fastener
each time the trigger is depressed.
Contact trip (Bump fire):
• Choose the correct mode before firing by rotating the FIRING
MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (Fig. C).
• First, depress the TRIGGER, then, repeatedly impact the SAFETY
BRACKET, the tool can repeatedly drive the fasteners. The tool will
drive one fastener when the safety bracket is impacted once.
NOTE:
The air deflector (Fig. C) is directional and can be rotated
through 360°.
Clearing a jammed fastener
NOTE
: Before you can use the device again, you must first remove
any jammed nails. If you continue to use the nailer while the nails are
jammed, you may be able to cause damage to the mechanism.
• Disconnect tool from air supply.
• Open latch and remove the remaining nails.
• Use a steel rod/punch to push the driver blade to its uppermost
position. Using needle nose pliers remove the jammed fastener.
Regular Maintenance
• Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best
performance. Oil added through the airline connection will
lubricate internal parts. An automatic airline oiler is recommended
but oil may be added manually before every operation or after
about 1 hour of continuous use. Only a few drops of oil at a time
are necessary. Too much oil will collect inside the tool and be
blown out during the exhaust cycle. ONLY USE PNEUMATIC TOOL
OIL. Do not use detergent oil or additives, as these lubricants will
cause accelerated wear to the seal in the tool.
• Use a small amount of oil on all moving surface and pivots.
• Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic
tool wear. Use a filter/oiler for better performance and longer
life. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific
application. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for proper
maintenance of your filter.
• Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use
non-flammable cleaning solutions (CAUTION: Such solutions may
damage O-ring and other tool parts) only if necessary - DO NOT
SOAK.

different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase exposure level over the total
working period.
Safety Warnings & Cautions
•
Keep working area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
•
Do not allow children into the working area.
Do not let them
handle the tool.
•
Do not operate this tool if under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Read warning label on prescriptions to determine if your
judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is
any doubt, do not attempt to operate.
•
Use safety glasses.
Safety glasses should conform to ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Before operating, wear safety glasses to protect
against flying debris from the front and side. Safety glasses should
be worn when loading, operating, unloading or servicing this tool.
•
Use ear protection.
The working area may be exposed to high
noise levels that can lead to hearing damage.
•
Never use oxygen combustible gases, bottled gases or high
pressure compressed gas as a power source for this tool.
The tool may explode and cause serious injury.
•
Dress safely.
Protective gloves and non-skid footwear or safety
shoes are recommended when working with and operating this
tool. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can get caught
in moving parts. Also, wear a protective hair covering to prevent
long hair from getting caught in the tool.
•
Do not fire into hard materials.
Do not attempt to shoot toward
hard or brittle material such as concrete, steel or tile.
•
When operating tool.
Keep proper footing and balance to avoid
damage resulting from losing balance.
•
Check damaged parts.
Before using tool, carefully check for any
damaged parts.
•
Replace parts and accessories.
Only allow the use of the same
replacement parts while servicing. Approved accessories and
replacement parts are available.
•
Keep alert
. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate any tool when you are tired.
•
Store the tool.
When not in use, tool should be cleaned, fully
assembled and then, stored in a dry location to reduce rust. For
safety, keep out of reach of children.
•
Outdoor extension cords.
When air compressor is used outdoors,
use only rounded jacket extension cords intended for outside
use. See manufacturer’s manual for the AWG required for the
compressor’s amperage draw.
•
Pay attention to air hose and their connections.
Don’t trip over
hoses. Make sure all connections are tight.
•
After loading the fasteners.
Never point the tool at yourself or
bystanders.
•
Use the correct air connector.
The connector on the tool must
not hold pressure when the air supply is disconnected. If the
wrong fitting is used, the tool can be charged with air after being
disconnected and still be able to drive a fastener.
•
When connecting the air.
The tool may possibly fire the fasteners
as soon as you plug it in to air hose. Therefore, remove all the
fasteners before connecting to the air.
• Do not depress the trigger when loading.
•
If the fasteners are jammed.
Disconnect the tool from the air
and remove the jammed fasteners.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check and make sure that all the accessories are
included. If anything is missing or broken, please call seller for help.
Set up
(Fig. A)
Your air tool is fully assembled when you receive it. Before using it,
attach the air line and desired air system accessories. See Figure A
for the recommended accessories and connection order. Be sure the
air hose is depressurised when installing or removing adaptors to the
air line.
Connecting the Tool to an Air Supply
(Fig. B)
• Determine if the tool needs oil and, if necessary, place two drops
of oil in the air plug as shown in Figure B. This should be done
regularly. If you are using an automatic in-line oiler, check and
add oil if necessary.
• Turn the compressor on and set the regulator to the proper
pressure for the size and type of fastener being used.
• Connect the tool to the air supply (see SET UP for air supply
connection recommendations).
Loading the Fasteners
(Fig. C)
• Disconnect tool from air supply.
• Depress handle and open latch, rotate the upper nail housing to
the side of the body.
• The adjuster plate can be moved up and down when twisting the
adjuster nut. The adjuster plate should be adjusted according to
the nail length, as indicated inside the lower nail housing.
• Place a coil of nails over the lower nail housing. Uncoil enough
nails to reach the feed hook and place the second nail between
the teeth on the feed hook.
• Close the upper nail housing and depress the latch.
NOTE:
Failure to make sure that the adjuster plate is correctly
adjusted for the length of the nails being used, may result in the nails
becoming jammed.
