B. LOADING “L” CLEAT NAILS
1.
Hold the tool firmly, press the LOCK (
Parts List, 46
) and pull the MOVABLE
MAGAZINE (
Parts List, 35
).
2.
Place the specified type and size of “L” cleats in the magazine from the side.
The head of the “L” cleats should be inserted into the notch on the fixed
magazine.
3. Push and lock the MOVABLE MAGAZINE (
Parts List, 35
)
CONNECTING THE TOOL
1. Turn the compressor on.
2. Set the regulator to proper pressure for the size and type of fasteners being
used.
3. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. The depth to which a fastener is driven is determined by the supplied air
pressure.
1a. Test fire a fastener into a sample of the material you will be working on and
check depth.
1b. Adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher pressure if increase drive
depth is desired. Decreasing supplied air pressure will result in the fastener
driven depth also being decreased.
1c. Test fire another fastener and check depth again.
WARNING:
z
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
z
Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, at too
steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing personal injury.
z
Disconnect tool from air supply before loading fasteners, 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.
CAUTION:
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.
2. Load the fasteners following the directions in the LOADING THE FASTENERS
section.
3. Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the
minimum and maximum operating pressures as noted in the SPECIFICATIONS
section.
4. Hold the LONG ARM (
Parts list, 66
) and press the SHOE (
Parts list, 28
) against
the work surface.
5. Strike the HAMMER FACE (
Parts list, 10
) with the provided HAMMER
(
Parts list, 68
) to drive the fastener out.
6. Lift the tool off of the work surface.
7. In certain tight spaces, it may be useful to remove the handle.
8. Two spacers are provided, (
Parts list,
32 & 32a
). They provide a non-marring
surface on the bottom of the shoe. Choose the spacer thickness that places a
fastener correctly in the apex of the angle between the flooring tongue and its
vertical edge.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Open the magazine cover. Remove any remaining fasteners from the tool.
3. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost position.
Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers.
4. Follow instructions in LOADING THE FASTENERS to reload fasteners.
