ASSEMBLY
The compressed air tool is supplied fully assembled. Before using the tool, connect the compressed air
supply and the required compressed air accessories. See fig. 1 for recommended accessories and order
of connection. Check that the air hose is not pressurised when you install or dismantle adapters for the
compressed air supply.
Connect the tool to the compressed air supply
1.
Check whether the tool needs to be lubricated. If necessary, add two drops of oil into the
compressed air connection, see fig. 2. If you are using a lubricator, check whether you need to top
up with oil.
2.
Turn on the compressor and set the correct pressure on the regulator for the type of fastener being
used.
3.
Connect the tool to the compressed air supply (see recommended setting).
Loading fasteners
1.
Press down the lock to release the movable magazine and pull out the magazine fully, see fig. 3.
2.
Place a set of fasteners of the right type and size in the fixed magazine. Up to 150 fasteners can be
loaded in the magazine. Press the movable magazine forwards until it locks into place.
OPERATION
Use a sample piece to check how deep the fasteners are driven in before you start using the tool. If the
fasteners are driven in too deep or not deep enough, adjust the air pressure using the regulator.
1.
Connect the tool to the compressed air supply. Check that the air pressure is within the correct
interval (see Technical Data).
2.
Load fasteners as instructed above in the ‘Loading fasteners’ section.
3.
Hold the housing and press the drive control against the work surface. Check that the tool is
straight and then gently squeeze the trigger to fire a fastener.
4.
Lift the tool from the work surface.
MAINTENANCE
Regular (although not excessive) lubrication is important in order for the tool to work. Oil that is
applied through the air intake lubricates the internal parts. We recommend that you install a
lubricator, although you can also lubricate manually each time before using the tool as well as after
1 hour of continuous use. You only need to apply a couple of drops of oil each time. Excess oil
gathers on the inside of the tool and is blown off during the next blow-off cycle. ONLY USE
COMPRESSED AIR OIL Do not use solvents or additives, as these cause the seal in the tool to
wear prematurely.
Lubricate all moving and rotating parts with a little oil.
Dirt and water in the compressed air are common causes of compressed air tools becoming worn.
A filter/lubricating unit provides improved performance and a longer life. The filter must have the
correct flow capacity.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer work. Do not use a flammable cleaning
solution. IMPORTANT! Such solutions can damage the O-ring and other parts of the tool, and
should only be used if necessary. DO NOT IMMERSE THE TOOL.
