● Avoid long extended periods of

work with the nailer. Stop using the
nailer if you feel pain in hands or
arms.

● Always check that

the Work Contact
Element (WCE) is
operating proper­ly. A nail could
accidentally be dri­ven if the WCE
is not working
properly. Personal
injury may occur (see "Checking the
Work Contact Element" Section.)

● Disconnect air supply and release ten-

sion from the pusher before attempt­ing to clear jams because fasteners
can be ejected from the front of the
nailer. Personal injury may occur.

Notice indicates

important informa­tion, that if not followed, MAY cause
damage to equipment.

● Avoid using the nailer when the mag-

azine is empty. Accelerated wear on
the nailer may occur.

● Clean and check all air supply hoses

and fittings before connecting the
nailer to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fittings.
Tool performance or durability may
be reduced.

● Air compressors providing air to the

nailer should follow the requirements
established by the American National
Standards Institute Standard B19.3­1991; Safety Standard for
Compressors for Process Industries.
Contact your air compressor manufac­turer for information.

● Do not drive a nail

on top of other
nails. The nail could
glance and cause
death or a serious
puncture wound.

● Do not operate or

allow anyone
else to operate
the nailer if any
warnings or
warning labels
are not legible. Warnings or warn­ing labels are located on the nailer
magazine and body.

● Never leave the nailer unattended

or connected to an air compressor
when not in use. Serious personal
injury can occur if someone picks up
and uses the nailer without know­ing the correct way to operate the
nailer.

● Do not drop or throw the tool.

Dropping or throwing the tool can
result in damage that will make the
tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool
has been dropped or thrown, exam­ine the tool closely for bent, cracked
or broken parts and air leaks. STOP
and repair before using or serious
injury could occur.

Caution indicates

a potentially haz­ardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate
injury.

● Do not modify or alter the nailer or

any nailer parts. Do not use the nailer
if any shields or guards are removed
or altered. Do not use the nailer as a
hammer. Personal injury or tool
damage may occur.

● Protect your eyes and

ears. Wear Z87 safety
glasses, with side
shields. Wear hearing
protection. Employers
and users are responsible for ensuring
the user or anyone near the nailer
wears this safety protection. Serious
eye injury or permanent hearing loss
could result.

● Do not use a check

valve or any other fit­ting which allows air
to remain in the nail­er. Death or serious
personal injury could
occur.

● Never place hands or

any other body parts
in the nail discharge
area of the nailer. The
nailer might eject a
fastener which could
result in death or seri­ous personal injury.

● Never carry the

nailer by the air
hose or pull the
hose to move the
nailer or a compres­sor. Keep hoses
away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
Replace any hose that is damaged,
weak or worn. Personal injury or tool
damage could occur.

● Always assume the nailer contains

nails. Never use the nailer as a toy. Do
not engage in horseplay. Always keep
others at a safe distance from the
work area in case of accidental dis­charge of nails. Never point the nailer
at anyone. Accidental triggering of
the nailer could result in death or seri­ous personal injury.

motion.

c. Each time the

work contact
element is
depressed, a
fastener will be
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.

1. Disconnect the

air supply from
the nailer.

2. Remove all nails

from the maga­zine (see Loading/

Unloading The
Nailer).

3.

Make sure the trig­ger and work con­tact 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.

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 sur­face 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.

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.

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 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

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.

Unloading is the reverse of loading,
except always disconnect the air
supply before unloading.

ADJUSTING THE NAIL PENETRATION

1. Regulate the air pressure to 70 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
110 psi at the nailer or durability of
the nailer will be reduced.

ADJUSTING THE DIRECTION OF THE
EXHAUST

The NB0040 is
equipped with an
adjustable direc­tion exhaust
deflector. This is
intended to allow
the user to change the direction of the
exhaust. Simply twist the deflector to
any direction desired.

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.

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. Remove nailer
from work sur­face. The Work
Contact Element
(WCE) must
return to its
original down
position. Pull the trigger. The nailer
MUST NOT OPERATE. Do not use the
tool if it operates while lifted from
the work surface. Personal injury may
result.

7. Pull the trig­ger and
depress the
Work
Contact
Element
(WCE) against the work surface. The
nailer MUST OPERATE.

8. Depress the
Work
Contact
Element
(WCE)
against
work surface. Pull the trigger. The
nailer MUST

OPERATE.

LOADING/UNLOADING THE NAILER

1. Always connect
the tool to the
air supply before
