CONSUMABLES
The following Consumables are available from your local Clarke Dealer
NAILS - 1.25MM CROWN (18 GAUGE)STAPLES - 5.5MM CROWN
1. Check prior to use that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning
properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.
2. Do not carry out any modifications to the staple/nail gun.
3. Do not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of the staple/nail gun
such as the safety yoke.
4. Do not perform any "emergency repairs".
5. The staple/nail gun should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in
accordance with the instructions.
6. Avoid weakening or damaging the staple/nail gun, for example by:
• punching or engraving;
• modification not authorised by the manufacturer;
• guiding against templates made of hard material such as steel;
• dropping or pushing across the floor;
• using the equipment as a hammer;
• applying excessive force of any kind.
SAFETY AT WORK
1. Never point any operational staple/nail gun at yourself, any other person
or animals.
2. Hold the staple/nail gun during the work operation in such a way that no
injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of a possible
recoil.
3. Never actuate the staple/nail gun into free space. This will avoid any
hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain on the tool.
4. The staple/nail gun shall be disconnected from the compressed air system
during transportation, especially where an unusual physical posture is
adopted whilst moving.
5. Carry the staple/nail gun at the workplace using only the handle, and
never with the trigger actuated.
6. Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners can penetrate
thin workpieces or slip off corners and edges of workpieces, and thus put
people at risk.
7. For personal safety, use protective equipment such as hearing and eye
protection and safety gloves.
CAUTION: READ AND OBSERVE THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTION BEFORE
USING THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN.
CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
WARNING: ENSURE THE AIR SUPPLY IS CLEAN AND DOES NOT EXCEED
100PSI WHILE OPERATING THE NAIL/STAPLE GUN.
1. Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not
exceed the maximum allowable pressure of the staple/nail gun See
“Specification” on page 8.
2. Make sure that the safety yoke is not depressed.
3. Connect the staple/nail gun to the compressed air supply using suitable
hose equipped with quick-action connectors.
4. Check for proper functioning by applying the muzzle of the staple/nail gun
to a piece of wood and actuating the trigger once or twice.
1. Pay attention to the SAFETY WARNINGS in these operating instructions.
2. Set the operating pressure to between 60-100psi, depending upon the size
of nail used and type of material being worked.
3. Having checked that the staple/nail gun is functioning correctly, press the
staple/nail gun against the work piece at a right angle and pull the trigger.
4. Check whether the fastener has been driven into the workpiece.
• If it is protruding, increase the air pressure by 0.5 bar.
• If it has been driven in too far, reduce the air pressure by 0.5 bar.
• Check the result after each adjustment.
5. You should work with the lowest possible air pressure.
6. In the event of long breaks in work or at the end of the working shift,
disconnect the staple/nail gun from the compressed air supply and empty
the magazine.
TO CLEAR A JAM
Should a blockage occur:
1. Turn off the compressed air supply.
2. Pull the trigger to ensure the staple/nail gun is not under pressure.
3. Open the magazine and pull out the offending staple/nail.
4. Close the magazine.
5. Ensure that all parts of the nail/staple gun are secure and correctly
positioned, then reconnect the air supply.
TIPS
• Do not trigger the staple/nail gun unnecessarily if the magazine is
empty.
• Any defective or improperly functioning staple/nail gun must
immediately be disconnected from the compressed air supply and
passed to a specialist for inspection.
• Connectors and hoses should be protected against contamination
from dust, debris, sand etc. which will result in leaks and damage to
the staple/nail gun and the couplings.
• Be aware that factors other than the tool may effect its operation
and efficiency such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain
on the airline, moisture or restrictions in the line, or the use of
connectors of improper size or poor condition which will reduce air
supply.
• Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This
condition can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing
out the tool with gum solvent oil, or failing this, the tool should be
disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and reassembled.
• If the tool runs erratically or becomes inefficient, and the air supply is
sound, dismantle the piston assembly and replace worn or
damaged parts, or take the tool to your CLARKE dealer.
• The use of parts other than CLARKE replacement parts may result in
safely hazards, decreased tool performance and will invalidate your
warranty.
