RYOBI R18N16G Cordless Nailer Instruction Manual

RYOBI R18N16G Cordless Nailer

Product Information

The product is a nailer with the model number R18N16G. It is designed for single-hand use and is not suitable for fastening electrical cables. It may cause electric shock or fire hazards if used for electric cable installation. The tool contains fasteners, and careless handling of the nailer can result in the unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury. The workpiece contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. The tool can be disconnected from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool.

Product Usage Instructions

Read all safety warnings and instructions before using the nailer.

1. Ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above the workpiece.
2. Position the tool firmly against the workpiece before actuating it. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone nearby.
3. Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in. Use caution while removing a jammed fastener.
4. Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
5. Use clamps to hold the workpiece when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Keep hands and body parts clear of the immediate work area.
6. Do not drive nails near edge of the material. The workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a coworker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly causing injury.
7. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Important!
It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before operating this machine.

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.
• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
• Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.

• The tool is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal injury could be caused.

• Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece could cause the nail to miss the workpiece completely and result in serious personal injury.

• Do not drive nails near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a coworker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly causing injury.

• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
  fastener against the material. The workpiece contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.

• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.

• 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 nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. 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.

• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.

• Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water lines, etc., before using the product on such work area.

• After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it back to the full sequential mode.

• The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application.

• Only fasteners matching the description in the product specification table can be used with this tool. Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or other malfunctions.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of drive wheel.
• Do not pull back on the adjustment wheel, the wheel is designed to be rotated.
• Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of drive wheel.
• Always select full sequential firing mode before adjusting the depth of drive.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby when adjusting the depth of drive.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations. Follow all special requirements on packaging and labeling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.
