PREPARATION

WARNING!

4.1. AIR SUPPLYensure the air supply is clean, dry and between 60 – 116psi while operating the nail gun. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.

4.1.1. ensure the nail gun trigger release slide is not depressed when connecting to the air supply. A gap of approximately 6mm between gun housingandcatchwillbeevident(fig.2).

4.1.2. You will require an air pressure of between 60 – 100psi.

4.1.3. drain your compressor air tank of water daily. Water in the air line will damage the nail gun.

4.1.4. Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.

4.1.5. line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be  1/4” I.d. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.6. Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.

OPERATION

WARNING! ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.

5.1.  load the magazine before connecting the air line. To open the magazine, hold the nail gun body with the left hand, then with your other hand, press the magazine latch lever and slide the magazine fully open. Place a “strip” of nails into the open magazine chamber, ensuring that all the nails have their points resting on the bottom of the chamber.

5.1.1. Slide the magazine cover shut until it clicks into place behind the catch.

5.1.2. Before connecting to an air supply, ensure that the trigger safety slide is not depressed. See the 6mm safety dimension in fig.2.

5.1.3.Connect the air line to the nail gun as described in Section 4.

5.1.4.The operating trigger is normally inoperable and cannot be used until the trigger safety slide is depressed. This happens automatically    as you position and offer the nail gun on to the timber work piece.

5.1.5. The trigger release slide can be seen protruding downwards just in front of the nail outlet (see fig.3).

5.2. SINGLE ACTUATION MeCHANISM

5.2.1. Forsingleactuation,pressthesafetyslideagainsttheworkpiece.Pullthetriggertofirethefixing.Oncefireditisnotpossibletofire again until the trigger is released and pressed again.

5.3. “FIRE ON CONTACT” ACTUATION MeCHANISM

5.3.1. For this method of operation, press the Safety slide against the work piece and pull the trigger. If the trigger is held ‘on’, each time the safetyslideispressedagainstthework-pieceafixingwillbefired.

5.4. If you need to put the nail gun down during the course of working, ensure that the trigger safety slide is not depressed against any object closing the 6mm safety gap in fig.2. This would enable the trigger and possible accidental firing.

5.5. When the work is complete or when you have paused for any length of time, disconnect the nail gun from the air line.

WARNING! Should a blockage occur, disconnect the nail gun from the air supply immediately. See trouble shooting (Section 6).

5.6. ADJUSTING NAILINGPENETRATION(fig.5)

5.6.1. disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove the nails.

5.6.2. To reduce the driven depth, turn the adjustment knob counter clockwise (fig.5.1) which will lower the safety slide tip.

5.6.3. To increase the driven depth, turn the adjustment knob clockwise (fig.5.1) which will raise the safety slide tip.

5.6.4. Reload the nails.

5.7.1. The direction of the exhaust vent can be changed by rotating the top cover (fig.3).

****WARNING! To avoid double firing or accidental firing, DO NOT press the tool to the workpiece with excessive force.

TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1. loss of power or erratic action:
a) excessive drain on the air line. moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the wrench may also reduce performance. Flush the nail gun out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of  SAe no 10 oil and paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
c) Body air leaks, contact your Service Agent.
6.2. nailing failure:
a) magazine empty. Check for red indicators in fig.3, if red, reload with nails as described in 5.1 and 5.2.
b) Blockage in the magazine. disconnect from the air supply and open the magazine as described in 5.1. Remove any obstructions, check the nail strip, reload if necessary. Close the magazine as described in 5.2.
c) Blockage in the ejector nose. disconnect from the air supply and completely remove 3 cap screws, the top nose plate and intermediate plate in fig.4. ensure the compression spring is retained. Clear the jam and replace all items.
d) nails not fully penetrating work piece. Timber hardness or knots, may be a factor. Adjust the air pressure between 60-100psi.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the machinery directive 2006/42/eC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
measured vibration emission value (a): …………. 2.8m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): ………………………. 1.5m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
nB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPe) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk – Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
