OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATING THE TOOL
1The depth to which a brad is driven is determined by the supplied air pressure.
Test fire a brad into a sample of the material you will be working on and check
depth. If a change is desired, adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher or
lower pressure. Test fire another fastener and check depth again. Adjust as
necessary.
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive fasteners
into materials too hard to penetrate, or
at too steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The
fastener can ricochet causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly,
maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area,
moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
Clean and inspect the 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.
2Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the
limits mentioned in
SPECIFICATIONS
.
3Hold the BODY (BN5018A-22) and press DRIVE GUIDE (BN5018A-50) against
the work surface, being sure the tool is perpendicular to the surface.
4Gently squeeze the TRIGGER (BN5018A-39) to drive the fastener.
5Lift the tool off the work surface.
MAINTENANCE
CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY
CAUTION:
Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Cor-
rect all problems before putting the tool back in service.
Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flamable
cleaningsolutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary.
Do Not Soak
tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage
the tool.
If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 2 drops of air tool oil into the
air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday and after about 1 hour
of MAINTENANCE continuous use.. Frequent but not excessive lubrication
is required for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection
will lubricate all internal parts. Use only air tool oil. Do not use oil with
detergents or other additives. These can cause damage through acceler-
ated wear to the seals in the tool.
Use a small amount of oil on all exterior moving parts and pivots.
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear.
See the section on SETUP: AIR SOURCE above for more information.
Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use non-flammable
cleaning solutions sparingly and only if necessary. Do not soakparts in the
solutions.
CAUTION:
Such solutions may damage O-rings and other parts.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality tools eventually require some servicing of replacement parts due
to wear from normal use.
