SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY OF THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN

1. Check prior to use that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.
2. Do not carry out any modifications to the staple/nail gun.
3. Do not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of the staple/nail gun such as the safety yoke.
4. Do not perform any “emergency repairs”.
5. The staple/nail gun should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in accordance with the instructions.
6. Avoid weakening or damaging the staple/nail gun, for example by:
   • punching or engraving;
   • modification not authorized by the manufacturer;
   • guiding against templates made of hard material such as steel;
   • dropping or pushing across the floor;
   • using the equipment as a hammer;
   • applying an excessive force of any kind.

SAFETY AT WORK

1. Never point any operational staple/nail gun at yourself, any other person or animals.
2. Hold the staple/nail gun during the work operation in such a way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of a possible recoil.
3. Never actuate the staple/nail gun into free space. This will avoid any hazard caused by free-flying fasteners and excessive strain on the tool.
4. The staple/nail gun shall be disconnected from the compressed air system during transportation, especially where an unusual physical posture is adopted whilst moving.
5. Carry the staple/nail gun at the workplace using only the handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
6. Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners can penetrate thin workpieces or slip off corners and edges of workpieces, and thus put people at risk.
7. For personal safety, use protective equipment such as hearing and eye protection and safety gloves.

PREPARING THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN FOR USE

CAUTION: READ AND OBSERVE THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN.

**CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM

**

WARNING: ENSURE THE AIR SUPPLY IS CLEAN AND DOES NOT EXCEED 100PSI WHILE OPERATING THE NAIL/STAPLE GUN.

1. Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure of the staple/nail gun See “Specification” on page 8.
2. Make sure that the safety yoke is not depressed.
3. Connect the staple/nail gun to the compressed air supply using a suitable hose equipped with quick-action connectors.
4. Check for proper functioning by applying the muzzle of the staple/nail gun to a piece of wood and actuating the trigger once or twice.

RECOMMENDED CONNECTION CONFIGURATION

TIPS

• Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the nail/staple gun and will invalidate your warranty.
• Clean air inlet filter on the staple/nail gun weekly.
• Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8m). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same bore.
• Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.

FILLING THE MAGAZINE

• Only those fasteners specified in “Consumables” on page 2 may be used.
• When filling the magazine, hold the staple/nail gun so that the muzzle is not pointing towards yourself or any other person.
  1. With your fingers well away from the trigger, and the tool pointed away from you, and anyone in the vicinity, press and hold the magazine catch.
  2. Pull out the magazine and load with appropriate nails or staples as shown.

HANDLING THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN

1. Pay attention to the SAFETY WARNINGS in these operating instructions.

2. Set the operating pressure to between 60-100psi, depending upon the size of nail used and type of material being worked.

3. Having checked that the staple/nail gun is functioning correctly, press the staple/nail gun against the work piece at a right angle and pull the trigger.

4. Check whether the fastener has been driven into the workpiece.
   • If it is protruding, increase the air pressure by 0.5 bar.
   • If it has been driven in too far, reduce the air pressure by 0.5 bar.
   • Check the result after each adjustment.

5. You should work with the lowest possible air pressure.

6. In the event of long breaks in work or at the end of the working shift, disconnect the staple/nail gun from the compressed air supply and empty] the magazine.

TO CLEAR A JAM
Should a blockage occur:

1.  Turn off the compressed air supply.
2. Pull the trigger to ensure the staple/nail gun is not under pressure.
3. Open the magazine and pull out the offending staple/nail.
4. Close the magazine.
5. Ensure that all parts of the nail/staple gun are secure and correctly positioned, then reconnect the air supply.

TIPS

• Do not trigger the staple/nail gun unnecessarily if the magazine is empty.
• Any defective or improperly functioning staple/nail gun must immediately be disconnected from the compressed air supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
• Connectors and hoses should be protected against contamination from dust, debris, sand etc. which will result in leaks and damage to the staple/nail gun and the couplings.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

DAILY BEFORE USE

1. Drain water from compressor air tank and air line.
2. Check and clean, if necessary, the air inlet gauze filter.

DURING USE

1. To lubricate the internal components during operation, an air line lubricator should be used.
2. If an air system oiler is not being used, lubricate the staple/nail gun every 2 hours with a few drops of air line oil, dripped into the air inlet.
   • Clarke Air Line Oil is available from your CLARKE dealer part no. 3050825.

WEEKLY

1. Check the security of the bolts and tighten if necessary.
2.  Clean air inlet filter on the staple/nail gun.

STORAGE

1. Clean the nail/staple gun after use.
2. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean the staple/nail gun and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

MAINTENANCE NOTES

• Be aware that factors other than the tool may affect its operation and efficiency such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline, moisture or restrictions in the line, or the use of connectors of improper size or poor condition which will reduce air supply.
• Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil, or failing this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and reassembled.
• If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient, and the air supply is sound, dismantle the piston assembly and replace worn or damaged parts, or take the tool to your CLARKE dealer.
•  The use of parts other than CLARKE replacement parts may result in safely hazards, and decreased tool performance and will invalidate your warranty.
