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 facing
up. Place 4-5 drops
of 30 W non-deter­gent 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.

Sequential Trip Safety
Mechanism

The NB0030 is equipped with a sequen­tial trip safety mechanism. When the
operator depresses the Work Contact
Element (WCE) against the work surface
and then pulls the trigger, a fastener
will be driven.

OPERATING A SEQUENTIAL TRIP
NAILER

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

2. Depress the Work
Contact Element
(WCE) against the
work surface and
pull the trigger to
drive a fastener.

3. Release the trigger
and lift the tool
from the work sur­face after each fas­tener is driven.

CHECKING THE WORK CONTACT
ELEMENT (WCE)

Check the opera-

tion 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.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the nailer.

1. The air com­pressor must
be able to
maintain a
minimum of
50 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 circula­tion through the nail­er. 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 pres­sure 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 50 and 100 psi.

Fasteners and Replacement
Parts

Use only genuine

Campbell Hausfeld
18 gauge fasteners (or equivalent - See
"Fastener Interchage 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
qualified and experienced service
people ONLY.

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.

3. Insert a stick of
Campbell
Hausfeld nails or
equivalent (see
"Fasteners" section) 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 for­ward until the
latch catches.

5. Always unload all fasteners before
removing tool from service.
Unloading is the reverse of loading,
except always disconnect the air
supply before unloading.

ADJUSTING THE NAIL PENETRATION

1. Regulate the air
pressure to 50
psi at the nailer.

2. Connect the air supply and test for
penetration by driving nails into a
sample piece of wood. If the nails
do not achieve the desired penetra­tion, adjust the air pressure to a
higher setting until the desired pen­etration is achieved. Do not exceed
100 psi at the nailer or durability of
the nailer will be reduced.

CLEARING A JAM FROM THE NAILER

1. Disconnect the
air supply from
the nailer.

2. Remove all
nails from the
magazine (see
"Loading/
Unloading The
Nailer"). Failure to do so will cause
the nails to eject from the front of
the nailer when the nose assembly is
removed.

3. Remove (3)
cap screws
from the nose
of the tool.
