SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use

• Store the instructions where they are easily accessible for all persons working with the tool.

• For safety reasons it is important to read the handbook carefully and to follow the instructions in it.
  WARNING: Always take basic safety precautions when using compressed air tools to safeguard against the risk of personal injury.

• This tool is intended for specific applications. The equipment must not be modified and/or used for anything but its intended purpose. Contact your dealer if you have any questions about using the equipment.

• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

• Do not allow children in the work area. Do not allow children to operate the tool.

• Wear safety glasses. To prevent eye injuries, the user and others in the work area must wear safety glasses with fixed side protection. Wear approved safety glasses.

• Wear ear protection. High noise levels in the work area can cause hearing impairment.

• Wear suitable clothing. Wear safety clothing and non-slip shoes or safety shoes when you are working with the tool. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. They can get caught in moving parts. Wear a hair net if you have long hair.

• Only use clean, dry and regulated compressed air at 6–8.3 bar.

• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gas to power the tool.

• Do not connect the tool to a compressed air system where the pressure can exceed 12.3 bar.

• Only use an air hose that can withstand 150% of the maximum system pressure. Connect the tool to the compressor with an air hose with an inner diameter of 3/8”.

• Do not use the tool in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Do not use the tool in a corrosive environment.

• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool or handing it over to someone else.

• Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the rear of the tool. If the tool is not operating correctly, it may still be charged with air after disconnection from the air pressure supply, and may still be able to drive a nail and thus cause personal injury.

Replacing parts and accessories

Only use approved spare parts and accessories for servicing.

• Always inspect the tool carefully for damage before use. Never use the tool if it is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts or needs repairing.
• Never use the tool if a safety mechanism, trigger or springs are missing, damaged or inoperable. Do not alter or remove the safety mechanism, trigger or springs. Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism daily to ensure they work correctly.
• Only use recommended parts and fasteners.
• Never connect the tool to the compressed air supply before loading fasteners, so that they cannot be fired out when you connect the compressed air. The driving mechanism could be activated when the tool is connected to the air supply. Empty the magazine when the tool is not being used.
• Always handle that the tool as if it loaded with fasteners. Never point the tool at your body, or at anyone else. Do not play with the tool. It is a work implement and not a toy.
• To prevent accidental firing, do not load fasteners when the trigger is squeezed or if the safety mechanism is disengaged.
• Take your finger off the trigger when not driving nails. Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger, as the tool will fire a fastener if the safety mechanism is pressed in while the trigger is squeezed.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance when using the tool.
• Only nail into the work surface, never into materials that are too hard to penetrate.
• Grip the tool firmly, but do not try to prevent the tool from recoiling when the fastener is being driven in. If the safety bracket comes into contact with the work surface again before you release the trigger, this will cause a fastener to be fired.
• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or at too large an angle. Fasteners can ricochet and cause personal injury.
• Do not drive fasteners into the edge of the workpiece. This could split the workpiece and cause the fastener to fly up, or ricochet and cause personal injury.
• Stay alert. Remember to use all necessary safety precautions and common sense. Do not use the tool if you are tired.
• Keep your hands and the rest of your body away from the work area.
• The driving depth can be adjusted. Disconnect the supply of compressed air and turn the adjuster knob for the driving depth to the required position.
• Always clean the tool after use. When the tool is not in use, store it in its box. Store out of the reach of children.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always use hearing protection!
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING! The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

USE

This is a powerful, pneumatic nail gun intended for reels of clout nails, with a length of 22–45 mm and diameter of 3 mm.

Air supply
The tool is intended to be driven with clean, dry, compressed air at a regulated pressure from 4.9 to 8.3 bar. The system should include a filter, pressure regulator and automatic lubricator, placed as close as possible to the tool (preferably within 4.5 metres). All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to the internal components in the tool. An air filter will remove most of these contaminants and significantly prolong the useful life of the tool. If a lubricator is not installed, apply five or six drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet at the start of each working day. Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the end of the tool.

IMPORTANT:

• All parts of the circuit (hoses, connections, filter, and regulators etc.) must withstand at least 150%of the maximum system pressure. Connect the tool to the compressor with an air hose with an inner diameter of 3/8”.
• Never connect the tool to a compressed air supply where the pressure can exceed the maximum permitted pressure for the system. Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the end of the tool.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool, or handing it over to someone else.

Preparations before nailing

1. Read these instructions carefully before connecting the tool to compressed air.
2. Press in the handle and open the catch. Turn the top of the magazine to the side.
3. Turn the adjuster nut and move the plate up or down to a suitable position for the length of fastener, according to the markings on the lower part of the magazine.
4. Place a strip of nails in the lower part of the magazine. Unreel the strip far enough to reach the feeder and place the second nail in the strip between feeder teeth.
5. Close the top of the magazine and lock the catch.
6. Adjust the exhaust deflector so that the exhaust is directed away from the user. Grip the deflector and turn it to a suitable position.

IMPORTANT:

• Never point the tool at your body, or at anyone else.
• Never connect the tool to the compressed air supply before loading fasteners.
• Do not load fasteners when the trigger or safety mechanism is pressed.
• Wear approved safety glasses and ear protection when preparing or working with the tool.
• Never use a tool that is leaking air or needs repairing.

Use

1. Press the nose against the work surface, pressure the tool lightly against the work surface until the safety mechanism is pressed down, and then squeeze the trigger to fire a fastener.
2. Adjust the driving depth with the adjuster knob. Fire a fastener and check the driving depth. If the fastener is driven in too deep, turn the knob so that the safety mechanism is moved down. If the fastener is not driven in deep enough, turn the knob so that the safety mechanism is moved up. Repeat until the required driving depth is obtained.

IMPORTANT

• Take your finger off the trigger when not driving nails. Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger as the tool will fire a nail if the safety mechanism is pressed.
• Always hold the tool pointing in a safe direction.
• Never attempt to drive nails into materials that are too hard, at too great an angle, or close to the edge of the workpiece. Nails can ricochet and cause personal injury.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool or handing it over to someone else. Clean and inspect the tool daily. Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism carefully to ensure they are working. Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are working. Do not use the tool if it is leaking air or needs repairing.

If a fastener jams
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the compressed air supply.

1. Open the catch, turn the lower part of the magazine, and take out the strip of nails.
2. Move the driving device to its upper position with a thin bar of soft carbon steel. Remove the jammed fastener with a pair of pliers.
3. Fill with fasteners according to the instructions.

MAINTENANCE

Daily cleaning and inspection
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply before cleaning and inspecting it. Read these instructions carefully before use.

• Fill the lubricator regularly with compressed air oil to keep the moving parts on the tool lubricated. Check the compressor filter every week and drain off any condensate or impurities.
• Keep the tool clean. Blow clean the tool with compressed air when necessary and wipe it with a cloth moistened with non-flammable detergent. Do not immerse the tool in cleaning solution. This can damage the internal parts. The visible parts of the piston and feeder must be kept clean.
• Check the trigger and safety mechanism to ensure that the system is and in good working order. There must be no loose, missing or jamming parts.
• Always keep screw connections tight. Loose screw connections can cause personal injury, or damage to the tool.
• Check the product regularly and replace damaged and/or worn parts.
• If the tool is operated without a lubricator, add 5 or 6 drops of compressed air oil into the air inlet of the tool at the start of each working day.

Service and repairs
All tools eventually need servicing and new spare parts as a result of normal wear and tear. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section for information on measures that can be carried out by the user. Please contact us if you have any questions about your tool. Always state the information shown on the tool’s type plate (model number, type, serial number, etc.).
