RN45B DRIVER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Worn driver causing poor quality or loss of power:

- Wear on the driving tip will affect the nail drive, giving symptoms of bent and incompletely driven 

nails, and damaged nail heads.

- The driver length may be adjusted to allow the driving tip to be redressed to compensate for wear. 

Heat and precise measurement are required. Contact a qualified service technician for this 
adjustment.

- The length setting for a new driver is shown below. Measurement is from the bottom face of 

the main piston.

- Note that the measurement from the top of the piston gives the maximum amount the driver may be 

adjusted to allow redressing. Always extend the driver the minimum required to allow redressing to 
restore the driving end; several redressings will be possible before this maximum depth is reached.

DIRECTIONAL EXHAUST DEFLECTOR

Loosen screw as shown. Adjust to desired exhaust direction and 
tighten screw.
