WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: f? READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. For personal safety and proper operation and maintenance of the tool, read this instruction manual carefully before using the tool. Wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves should be buttoned or rolled up. N o necktie should be worn. .
General Tool Handling Guidelines: 1 . Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. 2.Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. 3. Never depress the operating control unless the nosepiece of the tool is directed toward the workpiece. 4.Respect the tool a s a working implement. 5. No horseplay. Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do not use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such a s gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc.
There may be local regulations concerning noise which must be complied with by keeping noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain cases, shutters should be used to contain noise. Shutter Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it for other than nailing. Operate the tool within the specified air pressure of 4.0 - 7.0 kgf/cmZG (60 - 100 PSIG) for safety and longer tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max. operating pressure of 7 kgf/cm2G (100PSIG).
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten a s required. Make sure the safety mechanism is in working order before operation. First, disconnect the hose from the tool and open the magazine. Turn the lock knob (lock pin) to make sure the trigger is locked and released alternately with every quarter turn of the lock knob (lock pin).
U s e only nails specified in this manual. The use of any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool. Do not permit those uninstructed to. use the tool. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at the same time. Nails may rip through and/or fly off, presenting a grave danger. Watch your footing and maintain your balance with the tool.
On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if you nail while inching backward. When nailing against perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom. You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue by doing so. A nail will be bent or the tool can become jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react dangerously. Place the nails with care.
*When the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in this condition. Accidental firing can be extremely dangerous. Handle the tool carefully a s there is high pressure inside the tool that can be dangerous if a crack is caused by rough handling (dropping or striking). Do not attempt to carve or engrave on the tool. Stop nailing operations immediately if you notice something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.
z" Perform cleaning and maintenance right after finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condition. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting and minimize friction related wear. Wipe off all dust from the parts. When not operating the tool, always lock the trigger by turning the lock knob (lock pin). Lock knob ( I-ock pin) c This trigger operated tool is intended for use only when a work contacting element is not practical due to the requirements of the application.
TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE Lubrication To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible t o the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 50 nails. When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting. This should be done before and after use.
Load nails into the magazine so that the nail points will be set into the groove at the bottom of the magazine. Move the nails into the ejection slot as far as they will go. CAUTION : Always load the same type and size of nail into the magazine. If you load the tool with different types and/or sizes a t the same time, a malfunction may result. \ 3river guide / Groove To close the slide door, slide it toward the driver guide until the slide door is locked by the leaf spring.
3. Loosen the three screws which secure the driver guide a half turn. 4. Turn the adjusting bolt until the desired depth of nailing can be obtained. The adjusting bolt moves 0.7 mm ( 1 /32") per turn. 5. Tighten the three screws while holding the driver guide so that the projection of the center plate contacts the adjusting bolt. 6. If nails are driven too deep even when the driver guide is set a t the lowest position, decrease the air pressure.
r Connecting air hose Lock the trigger. Slip the air socket of the air hose onto t h e air fitting on the nailer. Be sure t h a t the air socket locks firmly into position when installed onto the air fitting. A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a way t h a t the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time the air supply coupling is disconnected. I I Operation Release the trigger by turning the lock knob. Place the driver guide agianst the workpiece and pull the trigger.
Hook The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily. This hook can be installed on either side of the tool. CAUTION : .Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose when hanging the tool using the hook. Never hang the tool on a waist belt or the like. Dangerous accidental firing may result. Nails Handle nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail strips have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.
Check regularly t o see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain sufficient lubrication will cause O-ring to wear quickly. Oiler 7 Pneumatic oil Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over 140”F ) , away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacle which it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
