T20644 34° Angle Finish Nailer–2½"
-11-
Operating
If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate the
nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place one
drop of the included oil into the quick con-
nect fitting where the nailer connects to
the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the nailer to the air supply.
2. To test for proper nail penetration, hold
the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
3. Depress the safety yoke mechanism on
your workpiece.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflec-
tion.
Deflection is caused when grain irregu-
larities, knots or foreign objects inside
the wood cause the nail to change its
path, resulting in the nail puncturing the
surface of the workpiece, as shown in
Figure 4.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.
5. Pull the trigger. If the nail drives into the
wood far enough, continue with your
intended operations. If the nail goes
too far or not far enough, adjust the
depth adjustment knob described in the
Adjusting Depth section.
Figure 4. Example of nail deflection.
Adjusting Depth
The Model T20644 features a knurled
adjustment knob (Figure 5) for setting the
nail depth into the workpiece.
Rotate this knob to adjust the workpiece.
To find the correct nail penetration depth,
use trial-and-error on a scrap workpiece of
the same type of material as your work.
