Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing. Never carry tool with finger on
trigger. In “Contact Actuation Mode” tool will fire a fastener if safety
is bumped while trigger is depressed.
Never point tool at yourself or others.
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.
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.
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 to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment
(A) Fig. 25. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a maximum setting. Test
fire a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired: loosen locking screw
(B) Fig. 25, slide adjustment to desired position and retighten locking screw
(sliding the two members closer together increases the depth of drive, sliding
the two members farther apart decreases the depth of drive). Test fire
another fastener and check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired
results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size
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.
A rubber nose cushion (C) Fig. 25, is provided to reduce marring of the work
surface. The rubber cushion can be pulled off to provide increased depth-of-
drive for toe-nailing applications.
Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or re-
installing rubber cushion.
