Operating Instructions	Model NB0040

Operating The Nailer

Read this manual and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the nailer.

LUBRICATION

This nailer requires lubrication before using the nailer for the first time and before each use. If an inline oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.

The work surface can become damaged by excessive lubrication. Proper

lubrication is the owner’s responsibility. Failure to lubricate the nailer properly will dramatically shorten the life of the nailer and void the warranty.

1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer to add lubricant.

2. Turn the nailer
so the air inlet is	OIL
facing up. Place
4-5 drops of 30
W non-deter-
gent oil into air
inlet. Do not use
detergent oils,
oil additives, or

air tool oils. Air tool oils contain solvents which will damage the nailer's internal components.

3.	After adding oil,
	run nailer
	briefly. Wipe off
	any excess oil
	from the cap
	exhaust.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

Please refer to Airtool Setup (IN170102AV) for system hookup instructions.

1. The air com-

pressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when

the nailer is being used. An

inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.

2. An oiler can be used

to provide oil circula- tion through the nail- er. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or “gum up” internal parts of the nailer.

3. Use 3/8” air hoses with a minimum

working pres-

sure of 150 psi. Use 1/2” air hoses for 50’ run or longer. For better performance, install a 3/8” quick plug (1/4” NPT threads) with an inside diameter of .315" (8mm) on the nailer and a 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.

4.Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0 -125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the nailer between 70 and 110 psi.

CONTACT TRIP SAFETY MECHANISM

The NB0040 Brad Nailer is equipped with a contact trip safety mechanism. When both the trigger and the work contact element are depressed, a fastener will be driven.

METHODS OF OPERATING A

CONTACT TRIP NAILER:

Do not touch the

trigger unless driving nails. Never attach air line or carry nailer while touching the trigger. The tool could eject a fastener which will result in death or serious personal injury.

SINGLE NAIL OPERATION

This method is preferred for slower and more precise nail placement.

a. Release trigger and place nose of tool against work surface.

b. Depress the work contact element against work surface and pull trigger to drive a fastener.

c. Use caution to prevent tool

from driving a second nail as a result of nailer recoil. Release trigger and lift tool completely

from work sur- face as tool recoils after each nail is driven.

MULTIPLE NAIL OPERATION

This method is preferred for faster, less precise nail placement.

a. Depress trigger while holding tool above work surface.

b. Depress work contact element by tapping the nose of tool against work surface in a bouncing motion.

c. Each time the work contact element is depressed, a fastener will be driven.

CHECKING THE WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)

Check the operation of the Work

Contact Element (WCE) trip mechanism before each use. The WCE must move freely without binding through its entire travel distance. The WCE spring must return the WCE to its fully extended position after being depressed. Do not operate the nailer if the WCE trip mechanism is not operating properly. Personal injury may occur.

1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer.

2. Remove all nails from the magazine (see Loading/

Unloading The Nailer).

3.Make sure the trig-

ger and work con- tact element (WCE) move freely up and down without sticking or binding.

4. Reconnect air supply to the nailer.

5. Depress the Work Contact Element

(WCE) against the work surface without pulling the trigger. The nailer MUST NOT OPERATE. Do

not use the tool if it operates without pulling the trigger. Personal injury may result.

3. Insert a stick of Campbell

Hausfeld nails or equivalent (see "Fasteners" sec-

tion) into the magazine. Make sure the pointed ends of the nails are resting on the bottom ledge of the magazine when loading. Make sure the nails are not dirty or damaged.

4. Push the magazine cover for-

ward until the latch catches.

5.Always unload all fasteners before removing tool from service.

3.Undo latch by pulling out and down. The wire latch will disengage from the hooks on the nose.

4.The door can now be rotated exposing the jammed fastener.

5.Remove the jammed fastener, using pliers or a screwdriver if required.

6. Rotate door back into the closed position.

7. Extend the wire latch and place over the hooks on the nose.

8. Close the latch by pushing the latch up and in until the latch snaps into place.

9.	Make sure the
	trigger and work

	freely up and

	sticking or binding.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Please call our Nailer hotline at 1-800- 543-6400 with any questions regarding the operation or repair of this nailer. If calling from Ohio or outside of the continental United States, please call, 1-513-367-1182.

Fasteners and Replacement Parts

Use only genuine Campbell Hausfeld

18 gauge fasteners (or equivalent - See "Fastener Interchange Information"). Use only genuine Campbell Hausfeld replacement parts. Never substitute parts. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not provide equivalent performance to the original equipment. Tool performance, safety, and durability could be reduced. When ordering parts or fasteners, specify by part number.

Nailer Repair

Nailer repairs must be performed by a qualified service person or an authorized service center

Assembly Procedure For Seals

When repairing a nailer, the internal parts must be cleaned and lubricated. Parker O-lube or equivalent must be used on all o-rings. Each o-ring must be coated with O-lube before assembling. A small amount of oil must be used on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembling, a few drops of 30W nondetergent oil or equivalent, must be added through the air line before testing.
