SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this
t

ool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could

c

ause severe eye injury.

The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
e

quipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,

A

NSI CAN/CSA Z94.3 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded

spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
C

AUTION: Additional Safety Protection will be required in some environments. For example,
the working area may include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing damage.
The employer and user must ensure that any necessary hearing protection is provided and
used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use
of head protection equipment. When required, the employer and user must ensure that head
p

rotection conforming to ANSI CAN/CSA Z89.1 is used.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

D

o not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as
tool may explode, possibly causing injury.

Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. (14kg/cm

2

) as tool may

burst, possibly causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a

wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will
be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.

Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm while connected to the air supply as the tool may
cycle, possibly causing injury.

Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool;

3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area,
as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

LOADING TOOL

When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of
tool; 2.) Never point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

OPERATION

Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull the trigger
unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact arm tools except during fastening
operation as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.

Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact arm tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven possibly causing injury.

Check operation of the contact arm mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the arm is
not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with
the proper operation of the contact arm mechanism.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as
this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.

Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as the wood may split, allowing
the fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.

This nailer produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the nailer near flammable
substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives,
mastics, glues or any other material that is -- or the vapors, fumes or byproducts of which are -­flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could cause an
EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user and bystanders.

DWFP12569 TOOL SPECIFICATIONS

OPERATION

A

ll dimentions in inches unless otherwise specified

FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:

TOOL AIR FITTING:

This tool uses a 1/4” N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .200” (5mm) or larger. The fitting
m

ust be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

70 to 100 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 7.0 kg/cm²). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener
performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.

AIR CONSUMPTION:

The DWFP12569 requires 3.7 cubic feet per minute (105 liters per minute) of free air to operate at the
rate of 60 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm2). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run
to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per
minute, you need 50% of the tool’s c.f.m. of free air which is required to operate the tool at 60 fasteners
per minute.

Caution Regarding Use of this Tool to Install Pre-finished Flooring

This DWFP12569 Flooring Tool was designed for use in installing unfinished hardwood flooring. It can be used
to install pre-finished flooring however caution must be used to ensure that the finish is not damaged by the tool.
It is recommended that the tool be tested on a sample section to be certain that the tool and technique of use
do not leave marks on the finish. This procedure should be followed before each job due to variations in flooring
and tool condition.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

D

o not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool

may explode, possibly causing injury.

FITTINGS:

Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected
f

rom the supply source.

HOSES:

A

ir hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm2) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick
disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.

SUPPLY SOURCE:

Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE
G

ASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.

REGULATOR:

A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 KG/CM2) is required to control the operat iing
pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i.
(14 KG/CM

2

) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.

FILTER:

Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best performance
and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to
be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions on proper
maintenance of your filter. A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.

LUBRICATION

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or
equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time
is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION:

For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of winter formula air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.

CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the
tools operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.

NOTE:Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to “O”-rings and seals – do not use these
low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL

When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating
problem tools.

CAUTION: Pusher spring (constant force spring). Caution must be used when working with the
spring assembly. The spring is wrapped around, but not attached to, a roller. If the spring is extended
beyond its length, the end will come off the roller and the spring will roll up with a snap, with a chance
of pinching your hand. Also the edges of the spring are very thin and could cut. Care must also be
taken to insure no permanent kinks are put in the spring as this will reduce the springs force.

REPLACEMENT PARTS:

DEWALT replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give
equivalent performance to the original equipment.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:

When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker “O”-LUBE or
equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each “O”-ring with “O”-LUBE before assembling. Use a small amount of oil
on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of D

EWALT Air Tool Lubricant through

the air line fitting before testing.

AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:

Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of
undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will
prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The
results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these
symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings,
low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.

MAINTAINING THE DWFP12569 SERIES TOOLS

TO REPLACE PISTON:

a

. Insert the flats on the lower end of the driver piston stem carefully into the end of piston and plunger

wrench, BC1009.

b. Using another special wrench, BC1009, or another wrench of the proper size, unscrew the plunger from the

upper end of the stem. After this is done, it will be possible to lift the poppet off the stem.

c. Place the special wrench, BC1009, down over the piston stem onto the driver piston, locking the piston ears in

the slots in the wrench. Unscrew the piston from the stem.

TO REPLACE DRIVER:

a. It is not necessary to disassemble the piston-poppet-driver assembly to replace the driver. Pull the poppet up on

the driver piston stem as far as it will go.

b. Insert special wrench, BC1009, over the driver piston, locking the piston ears in the slots in the wrench. Unscrew

the piston from threaded portion of the stem.

c

. To remove the driver blade from the piston stem, push the driver blade pin out of the stem. This will release

t

he blade.

d

. Insert new driver blade into the slot in the end of the driver piston stem and assemble the driver blade pin. Test

the side play in the driver blade by grasping the driver piston stem in one hand and the blade in the other and
moving the blade sideways in alignment with the slot in the stem. There should be a small amount of side play in
the blade. This is necessary to take care of any slight misalignment between the blade and guide in the nose. If
there is no side play, the blade should be removed and the top (pin end) just barely dressed off with a stone. It is
not necessary to do more than smooth off the top to get the necessary side play. Do not grind. Reinsert the
blade and pin in the stem and test for side play once more. Repeat as necessary to get this small amount of
side play. Carefully examine the large threaded portion of the piston stem. A nylon lock can be seen imbedded in
a recessed hole in the stem. It is very important that this nylon lock can be replaced when its locking efficiency
has been reduced through several disassemblies of the piston. It is necessary to use the sharp point of a knife,
or some such instrument, to remove this nylon lock. Insert a new one by setting it into the recessed hole in the
stem, and tapping it gently until firmly seated. Reverse these instructions to reassemble.

e. Assemble plunger flush with end of piston stem.
