Set up
Your air tool is fully assembled when you receive it. Before using it,
attach the air line and desired air system accessories. See Fig. B for
the recommended accessories and connection order. Be sure the
air hose is de-pressurised 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 Fig. B. 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.
Loading the Tool with Nails
(Fig. C)
• Push the strip of fasteners into the back of the magazine with the
nail head at the top of the slot (1).
• Allow fasteners to slide to the front of the magazine.
• Depress and hold the button on the magazine feeder (2). Pull
feeder back towards the rear of the magazine.
• Release the feeder button and allow the feeder to slide back and
lock onto rear of fasteners.
Adjusting the Depth
(Fig. D)
The driving depth of the fasteners can be set with the depth
adjustment wheel (5).
•
Fasteners are not driven in deep enough:
To increase the
driving depth, turn depth adjustment wheel to the left.
or
•
Fasteners are driven in too deeply:
To reduce the driving
depth, turn the depth adjustment wheel to the right.
•
Test the new driving depth on a test workpiece. Repeat steps
above as required.
Operating the Tool
Test the driving depth in a sample piece of wood before using. See
section ADJUSTING THE DEPTH.
• 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.
Firing Modes
(Fig. E)
The tool has two driving modes:
Sequential fire:
• Choose the correct mode before firing by rotating the FIRING
MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (Fig. E).
• Put the nose on the working surface, lightly push the tool
toward the working surface until the SAFETY BRACKET (Fig. F) 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. E).
• First, depress the TRIGGER, then, repeatedly impact the SAFETY
BRACKET (Fig. F), 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. G) is directional and can be rotated
through 360°.
Removing a Jammed Fastener
(Fig. H)
NOTE:
You must remove any jammed fasteners before using the tool
any further. If you continue to try and fire a fastener while the tool is
jammed, you could cause damage to the mechanism.
• Disconnect tool from the compressed air system
• Remove any unused fasteners from the magazine channel, this
should clear the jammed fastener(s).
• Remove any jammed fasteners from the nose piece by opening
the quick release nose gate.
•
Release the latch on the nose gate and open up the nose plate.
Any jammed fastener(s) will be visible and can be removed.
•
Close the nose plate and lock the latch before reconnecting to the
air system.
CAUTION
:
Never release the nose gate if there are fasteners in the
magazine channel. This could cause the fasteners to fire out of the
front of the tool and could lead to serious injury.
• Following the removal of a jammed fastener, always carefully test
the tool function before proceeding with any work. If fasteners
become jammed in the nose-piece frequently, have the tool
serviced by a Tacwise Engineer or appointed service agent.
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.

General Safety Instructions
Important.
Tacwise recommends that this power tool should not
be modified or used for any application other than that for which
it was designed. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and
could result in a hazardous condition leading to a personal injury. If

Work Area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Keep children and pets away.
All visitors should be kept a safe
distance from work area.
•
Secure work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. This frees both
hands to operate the power tool.
Safety Warnings & Cautions
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 the 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.
•
Stay alert.
Always watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
•
Wear proper clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery that can catch in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Contain long hair and roll long sleeves above
the elbow.
•
Do not over reach or use on unstable surfaces.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
•
Use safety equipment.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal spectacles
only have impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
•
DO NOT use on hard surfaces
such as rock, concrete, masonry,
bricks or steel. Personal injury or damage to the power tool
could result.
•
Stored power tools.
When not in use, all power tools should be
stored in a dry, locked cupboard, out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons.
•
Recommended accessories.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
•
Beware of hidden danger.
Always make sure there is no danger
of hitting any hidden power cables, water or gas pipes.
•
Always assume that the tool is loaded with fasteners.
Handling the tool without care could result in an unexpected
firing of fasteners and lead to personal injury.
•
Do not activate the power tool unless it is in contact with the
work piece.
Serious injury can result if you depress the
safety lock pin on nose/contact trip with your fingers, or by
improper operation.
•
Never point any power tool at yourself or at any other
person.
While working, hold the tool in such a way that no
injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of
possible recoil.
