FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

Porter-Cable Model PIN100 is a pneumatic pin nailer. It is designed to install 23 gauge wire pins of various lengths from

" to 1" long.

WARNING: Use approved Porter-Cable fasteners only.

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 60 and 100 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)

(4.1 to 6.9 BAR)

. The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 ft/4.6 m is ideal).

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available: place 2 or 3 drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.

The tool is equipped with a

" male “quick connector”. A

" male “quick connector” is available from Porter-Cable and may be used in situations where a

" supply line is not available. The tool must always be connected to the air supply with a coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.

DANGER: All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is

greater

Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

Only connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that automatically removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

PREPARING THE TOOL

1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply (Fig. 18).

DANGER: Never point tool at yourself or others in work area.

Always connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners (Fig. 18).

Do not load fasteners with trigger depressed.

Only use approved Porter-Cable fasteners.

Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side

shields. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses, and hearing

protection when preparing or operating the tool.

Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or

requires repair.

2. Turn tool upside down, depress latch (1) Fig. 19 and slide magazine cover (2) Fig. 19 open. Make certain the secondary trigger (B) Fig. 19 has locked out the primary trigger (A) Fig. 19 to prevent unintentional actuation. The magazine cover must be completely retracted to insure engagement of pin height adjustment feature.

3. Insert a strip of approved fasteners (A) Fig. 20. Make certain the direction arrow printed on the fasteners is pointed up as shown. NOTE: The direction arrow must point in the same direction as the pins will be driven.

4. Push magazine cover closed as shown in Fig. 21. Make certain cover snaps in place.

5. Observe pin reload indicator access hole (A) Fig. 22 to know when fastener supply is low.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE TOOL WITH DIFFERENT TRIGGERING OPTIONS

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool. The tool is shipped from the factory with a dual trigger actuation system. The

secondary trigger (B) Fig. 19 must be depressed in order to depress the primary trigger (A) Fig. 19. Each time the primary trigger is depressed the tool will fire a fastener.

Each time a fastener is driven, a blast of air will be exhausted from the rear of the tool. Keep your face away from this area.

DANGER: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. Never carry tool with finger on trigger.

Never point tool at yourself or others in work area. Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at

too steep an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury.

WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

WARNING: Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair.

The depth that a fastener is driven is controlled by the pressure of the air supply. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the length of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.

CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER

1. WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply.

2. Remove fasteners from magazine.

3. Using 2.5mm hex wrench, remove two bolts (A) Fig. 23 and front plate (B).

4. Remove the jammed fastener (C) Fig. 23. Also examine the feed track and clear any damaged pins or pin fragments.

5. Re-install front plate and bolts removed in step 3.

6. Re-load fasteners and close magazine cover. Make certain cover snaps in place.
