TOOL USE AND CARE

a. Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the

work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.

b. Do not force the tool. Use the

correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.

c. Do not use the tool if the switch

does not turn the tool on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

loaded as the immediate valve resetting
that may occur may forcefully eject the
nail. First connect air line, then load.

d. Disconnect the

source before making adjustments,
doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, leaving work
area, or unloading the tool. Such

precautionary measures reduce the
risk of injury to persons.

e. Store the tool when it is idle out

of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is

dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep

a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.

g. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.

h. Use only those fasteners listed

in the Accessories section of this
manual. Fasteners not identified

for use with this tool by the tool
manufacturer are able to result in
a risk of injury to persons or tool
damage when used in this tool.

Never attach air line

Personal injury or tool damage could
occur.

Always assume the

fasteners. Respect the tool as a working
implement; no horseplay. Always keep
others at a safe distance from the work
area in case of accidental discharge of
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering
of the tool could result in death or
serious personal injury.

Do

drive a fastener on top
of other fasteners. The
fastener could glance
and cause death or a
serious puncture wound.

SERVICE

a. Tool service must be performed only

by qualified repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specified by the
manufacturer.

Do not make any

modifications to
the tool without first obtaining written
approval from Campbell Hausfeld. Do
not use the tool if any shields or guards
are removed or altered. Do not use the
tool as a hammer. Personal injury or
tool damage may occur.

AIR SOURCE

a. Never connect to an air source that

is capable of exceeding 200 psi.

Over pressurizing the tool is able
to result in bursting, abnormal
operation, breakage of the tool or
serious injury to persons. Use only
clean, dry, regulated compressed air
at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on
the tool. Always verify prior to using
the tool that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.

O

CO

Do not use any type of
reactive gases, including, but
not limited to, oxygen and
combustible gases, as a power source.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated
compressed air only. Use of a reactive
gas instead of compressed air may
cause the tool to explode which will
cause death or serious personal injury.

Use only a pressure-regulated
compressed air source to limit
the air pressure supplied to
the tool. The regulated pressure must
not exceed 125 psi. If the regulator
fails, the pressure delivered to the
tool must not exceed 200 psi. The tool
could explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.

LUBRICATION

This tool requires lubrication before
using the tool 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
tool properly will dramatically shorten
the life of the tool and void your
warranty.

1. Disconnect the

air supply from
the tool to
add lubricant.

2. Turn the tool so the

air inlet is facing up.
Place 4-5 drops of 30
W non-detergent oil
into air inlet. Do not

OIL

of 50 psi when the
tool 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
circulation through
the tool. A filter can
be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can
rust or “gum up” internal parts of
the tool.

3. Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum working pressure
rating equal to or greater than the
pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever
is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch or
greater air hoses for 50 foot run or
longer.

150 psi or greater

4. Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 psi - 125 psi. A pressure
regulator is required to control
the operating pressure of the tool
between 50 psi and 125 psi.
