OPERATING and MAINTENANCE MANUAL

BEFORE USING THIS TOOL, STUDY THIS MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY WARNING

AND INSTRUCTIONS.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING:

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL

1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES

Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener flying up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn when operating the tool. The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989) and provide both frontal and side protection. The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and all other personnel in the work area.

NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.

2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS

As the working condition may include exposure to high noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.

3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR

The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.

4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE

The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar.) The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the operating pressure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar.) Never connect the tool to air pressure which potentially exceeds 200 p.s.i. (14 bar) as the tool can burst.

5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE

Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this could result in an explosion.

6. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS

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.

7. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE

Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been completed or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.

WARNING:

TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE

BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

100

8. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS

Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause accidents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and properly installed prior to operating the tool.

9. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DRIVE A FASTENER

Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener into the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the tool with the trigger pulled, and this and similar actions should be avoided.

10. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD YOURSELF AND OTHER PERSONNEL

If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious accidents may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the discharge outlet is not pointed toward people when connecting and disconnecting the hose, loading and unloading the fasteners or similar operations.

11. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS (SEE PAGE 7)

The use of fasteners other than specified fasteners will cause the tool malfunction. Be sure to use only specified fasteners when operating the tool.

12. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON THE WORK SURFACE PROPERLY

Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a proper manner can result in a fastener flying up and is extremely dangerous.

13. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE DISCHARGE OUTLET

When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of the tool. It is very dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.

14. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO THE EDGE AND CORNER OF THE WORK AND THIN MATE RIAL

The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free and hit someone.

15. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS

Driving fasteners of the top of other fasteners may cause deflection fasteners which could cause injury.

16. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER COMPLETING OPERATION

If fasteners are left in the magazine after the completion of operation, there is the danger of a serious accident occurring prior to the resumption of operation, should the tool be handled carelessly, or when connecting the air fitting. For this reason, always remove all fasteners remaining in the magazine after completion of the operation.

17. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM FREQUENTLY IN CASE OF USING A CONTACT TRIP TYPE TOOL

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

18. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR ELEVATED PLACE

When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fastening at the lower part and gradually work your way up. Fastening backward is dangerous as you may loose your foot place. Secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents may be caused due to the hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught.

19. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOPERABLE, DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT WOKING PROPERLY

20. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE SPACE

This will avoid any hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain of the tool.

21. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS

22. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IMPLEMENT

23. NO HORSEPLAY

24. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTENERS WHEN ANY ONE OF THE OPERATING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER, CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED

DRIVING FASTENERS

CONTACT TRIP MODEL w/ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM

The anti-double fire mechanism (US patent 5597106, UK patent 2286790) is installed on this tool. The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.

CONTACT FIRE OPERATION

For contact fire operation, hold the trigger and depress the contact arm against the work surface.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP

The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”. The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work-or anything else-while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP Identified by ORANGE TRIGGER.

PROCEDURE

Depress the contact arm.

Pull the trigger.

SINGLE FIRE OPERATION (ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM)

For single fire operation, depress the contact arm against the work surface and pull the trigger. Tool can not fire a second nail until the trigger is released and tool can cycle.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

CONTACT TRIP

The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
