	Operating Instructions and Parts Manual		CHN70200
	Pre-Operation
	Operational Modes		Depress WCE first...
	Always know the operational mode of the nailer before using. Failure to
	know the operational mode could result in death or serious injury.
	This nailer may be operated in the “Sequential” mode (as supplied by the
	manufacturer) or “Bump” mode. the tool may be converted from one mode to the other
	by firmly pressing the conversion switch from one position to the other.
	Press the conversion switch to the “	” side to activate Sequential Mode.
	Press the conversion switch to the “	” side to activate Bump Mode.	Work Surface
	Press either side to the middle position to activate the Safety Lockout Mode.		Then pull trigger.
	Sequential Mode
	This method is recommended when precise nail placement is required. Operation in
	this mode requires trigger to be pulled each time a nail is driven. Nailer can be actuated
	by depressing the Work Contact Element (WCE) against work surface followed by
	pulling the trigger.
	The trigger must be released after each fastener is driven to allow tool to reset.
	Since the tool can only be actuated by first removing the finger from the trigger, this
	is considered to be a more restrictive mode of operation, suitable for less experienced		Work Surface
	users.
			Figure 14 - Sequential Mode
	Bump Mode
	This method is recommended when less precise nail placement is required. Operation
	in this mode requires trigger to be depressed with nailer off of the work surface. Then,		Pull trigger first...
	the nose of the nailer is tapped against the work surface causing a nail to be driven.
	Each time the Work Contact Element is depressed, a nail is driven into the work
	surface. Extreme care should be taken because a nail will be driven when the WCE is
	pressed against any surface.
	Since the tool can be actuated without removing the finger from the trigger, this is
	considered to be a less restrictive mode, suitable for more experienced users.
	Safety Lockout Mode
	When the conversion switch is pressed into the middle position, the trigger is in Safety
	Lockout Mode. In this mode, no combination of WCE and trigger activations will allow
	the tool to cycle or fire. If tool does operate while in Safety Lockout Mode, contact
	Campbell Hausfeld for technical support, and do not use the nailer until repaired.
	Work Contact Element (WCE)		Work Surface
			Then depress 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.

Operation

Nail Placement Laser Pointer

The tool is equipped with a laser mounted near the nose. Turn the electronics switch to the on position. When the Work Contact Element (WCE) touches the workpiece and slightly moves, the laser will shine on the spot where the nail will be driven. This can be seen through the wide slots in the WCE and / or no-mar tip. When the laser is in the desired location, simply fully press in the WCE and fire the tool.

This is a Class IIIA Laser Product that emits laser radiation.

Do not stare into beam or view directly with optical instruments.

NOTE: The laser will only show accurate placement when the depth control is set to maximum depth.

Firing the Nailer

1.Load fasteners (see Loading / Unloading the Nailer section).

2.Connect the air supply to the nailer.

An improperly functioning tool must not be used. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the work piece.

In Sequential Mode

Press the conversion switch to the “ ” side to activate Sequential Mode.

1.Slightly depress Work Contact element (WCE) against work surface.

2.Laser pointer will shine on spot where nail will be driven when the WCE slightly touches the work surface.

3.Fully depress WCE.

4.Pull trigger. Fastener will be driven into workpiece.

In Bump Mode (Laser should not be used in Bump Mode)

Press the conversion switch to the “ ” side to activate Bump Mode.

1.Remove tool from work surface. DO NOT point tool at yourself or others.

2.Pull trigger.

3.Firmly depress Work Contact element (WCE) against work surface. Tool will cycle.

4.Remove tool from work surface. Move tool to the next area where fastener is to be driven and repeat.

Low Nail Indicator Lights

The tool is equipped with lights on either side of the tool near the nose. Turn the electronics switch to the on position. When the nail count becomes 10 or so nails remaining in the magazine, the lights will come on yellow. You may reload at that time (See Loading the Nailer section). When the nail count becomes 5 or so remaining nails, the Anti-Dry Fire will engage and the lights will turn red. You must reload at that time.

Bubble Level

The tool is equipped with a bubble level located on the head cap. When the gun is in a horizontal driving orientation, a level condition can easily be observed and controlled by simply aligning the tool in such a manner whereas the bubble is between the center markings on the length of the level. The same is true when in a vertically downward driving orientation by aligning the tool such that the bubble is centered in the circular marking at the top of the level.

Nailer Repair

Only qualified personnel should repair the tool and they should use genuine Campbell Hausfeld replacement parts and accessories, or parts and accessories which perform equivalently.

Replacement Parts

Use only genuine Campbell Hausfeld service

parts.Tool performance, safety and durability could be reduced if improper parts are used.When ordering replacement parts, specify by part number.

Battery Replacement

Always disconnect the tool from the power

source when unattended, performing any maintenance or repair, clearing a jam, loading, unloading , or moving the tool to a new location.

The electronics on the tool (low nail indicator lights and nail placement laser pointer) run off of two (2) AAA batteries located in the compartment on the back of the magazine. When the batteries’ power is running low and they need to be replaced, the electronic functions may not work properly or at all. Disconnect the tool from air source and remove the battery compartment cover by pulling out. Insert two (2) new batteries in the proper orientation. Do not mix old and new batteries. Close cover.

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.
