Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of
approximately 60 times per minute at a compression
of 0.74 MPa (7.4 bar), a compressor with an air output
over 55 liters/minute is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to
the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure
exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the
vicinity.
Selecting air hose
CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor,
or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation
to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in
the driving capability of the tool.
►
Fig.2
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.
With an air pressure of 0.49 MPa (4.9 bar), an air hose
with an internal diameter of over 6.5 mm and a length
of less than 20 m is recommended when the interval
between each nailing is 0.5 seconds.
Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pres-
sure rating of 1.03 MPa (10.3 bar) or 150 percent of the
maximum pressure produced in the system whichever
is higher.
Lubrication
►
Fig.3
To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.
Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided
for every 50 nails.
When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic
tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air
fitting. This should be done before and after use.
For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Adjusting depth of nailing
►
Fig.5:

Adjuster
To adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster.
The depth of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster
is turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It
will become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B
direction.
If nails cannot be driven deep enough even when the
adjuster is turned fully in the A direction, increase the
air pressure.
If nails are driven too deep even when the adjuster is
turned fully in the B direction, decrease the air pressure.
Generally speaking, the tool service life will be longer
when the tool is used with lower air pressure and the
adjuster set to deeper depth of nail driving.
Hook
CAUTION:
Never hook the tool at high loca-
tion or on potentially unstable surface.
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt.
If the nailer accidentally drops, it may
result in misfiring and personal injuries.

Hook
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
Air duster
CAUTION:
Do not aim the ejection port of the
air duster to someone. Also, keep your hands and
foot away from the ejection port.
If the air duster
button is accidentally pushed, it may cause a per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
Always check your surroundings
before using the air duster.
Blown dust or objects
may hit someone.
CAUTION:
Do not connect or disconnect the
air hose while pushing the air duster button.
The air supplied to the tool can also be used as an air
duster. You can clean the work area by pressing the
button on the grip end.

NOTICE:
After using the air duster, the driving force
of the tool will temporarily decline. Wait until the air
pressure recovers in this case.
NOTICE:
Perform a test blow if you use the air
duster immediately after the oil was applied. The oil
may be sprayed with the air.
