MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Your tool will last longer and perform better if periodic maintenance is performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating in top condition.
Lubrication
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Apply 3 - 5 drops of air tool oil (pro­vided) in the air inlet two - three times a day. If the tool will be used outside in the winter, use a winter grade air tool oil to help keep frost from forming inside the tool. Do not use other types of lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants may contain chemicals harmful to o-rings and other tool components. Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily.
Cleaning
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Brush tool off using a parts cleaning brush or clean rag. Open feed pawl door and magazine cover, and brush out dirt and debris. Check area around trigger and workpiece contact, and clean as necessary.
OPERATION
Trigger Check
Check trigger operation daily to confirm proper sequential operation:
1. Press the workpiece contact against a safe work surface without depressing the trigger. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
2. Hold the tool above a safe work surface and pull the trigger without depressing the workpiece contact. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
3. Pull and hold the trigger, and then press the workpiece contact against a safe work surface. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
4. With finger off trigger, press the workpiece contact against a safe work surface. Keep tool pressed against work surface, and pull trigger. THE TOOL MUST CYCLE ONCE.
5. The trigger must return to the normal position each time finger pressure is released.
TOOL OPERATION
SEQUENTIAL OPERATION
1. Hold the tool securely using the handgrip. Keep finger off trigger until tool is in position and you are ready to drive a fastener. NOTE: Depressing trigger before depressing safety bracket will prevent tool from actuating.
2. Position the nose of the tool on the workpiece, placing the nose at the desired fastener driving position.
3. Press the tool down firmly against the work surface, fully depressing the workpiece contact (safety bracket).
4. Squeeze the trigger once to drive a fastener.
5. Allow the tool to rebound off the work surface, and release the trigger to reset the workpiece contact. Tool will not drive another fastener until trigger is released, and cannot be bump-fired with sequential trigger installed.
6. Check fastener for flush drive, and if needed, turn nail depth adjust­ment dial to obtain desired fastener drive.
7. If tool adjustments do not provide the desired results, make air pressure adjustments at the compressor: Increase air pressure to drive deeper or to drive into harder materials. Reduce air pressure to reduce drive or to drive into softer materials. For longest tool and part life, always use the lowest air pressure necessary to drive fasteners to desired depth.
8. Position the tool for driving the next fastener, and repeat the above procedure. Always keep hands and other body parts away from areas being fastened.
CONTACT TRIP (BUMP FIRE) DRIVING METHOD
To operate this tool in contact trip mode (bump-firing), remove the sequen­tial trigger provided on the tool, and install the dual-action trigger provided with the tool.
1. Position the nose of the tool over the work surface, near the area where the first fastener is to be driven.
2. Squeeze and hold the trigger in the depressed position.
3. Bump the workpiece contact (safety) against the work surface at each point where a fastener is to be driven.
4. Using a bouncing motion, continue moving the tool into position for each fastener drive.
5. When fastening is completed, release the trigger.
