TOOL TROUBLESHOOTING
Your pneumatic fastening tool has been designed for long life and trouble-
free operation. However, if operating problems arise, please use the
troubleshooting information below to determine how to remedy the prob-
lem.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fastener jammed in
tool nose, preventing
tool from operating.
Depress magazine release, and open maga-
zine. Remove jammed fastener, and check
magazine for obstructions, debris, and loose
fasteners. Discard loose fasteners. Clean
fastener track as required, and reload fasten-
ers.
PLASTIC CAP PROBLEMS
Caps are not applied
Check cap tower and reload if necessary
Caps feed, but are not
retained in fastening
position.
Flipper arm worn or broken. See dealer for
repair.
Cap tower full, and
driver link is aligned,
but caps do not feed.
Open cap tower door and push cap stack
down firmly. Close door and drive a fastener
to eject cap.
Cap tower full, but
caps do not feed into
fastening position.
Check cap driver hook for proper positioning
as shown on alignment label. Reposition if
necessary.
Caps do not feed - cap
appears jammed in
magazine.
Remove jammed cap through opening in front
plate.
Caps not tight against
work surface.
Increase air pressure. Make sure tool is held
against work surface when driving fastener.
Caps cut or deformed
by fastener.
Fastener position on
cap off-center
Decrease air pressure.
Avoid dragging tool against work when
applying caps. Keep tool stationary when
fastener is being driven.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
PROBLEM
Fasteners do not drive
completely.
Increase air pressure. Add 2 - 3 drops of air
tool oil to inlet. Do not exceed 120 psi/8.3
bar
Fasteners do not drive
completely when
driving in quick succes-
sion.
Inadequate air flow. Use larger diameter hose.
Use compressor with larger storage tank.
Keep hose lines short. Check air hose for
kinks or other restrictions.
Fasteners drive too
deeply.
Reduce air pressure. (Do not reduce air
pressure below 100 psi/6.9 bar.)
Tool operates, but no
fastener is driven.
Check fasteners for smooth feeding in
magazine. Check magazine for obstructions
or debris, and clean as required.
Tool leaks air.
Check for source of leak, and tighten fittings
and screws as required. Discontinue using
tool if air leaks at trigger area or from cap
exhaust. Contact your dealer.
PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fasteners do not drive
completely after air
pressure is increased.
Driver blade worn or broken. See dealer for
replacement.
FASTENER DRIVING PROBLEMS
