- if the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar until
the result is satisfactory.
5. You should endeavour in any event to work with the
lowest possible air pressure.
6. Hold the tool during the work operation in such a
way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to
the body in the event of a possible recoil consequent
upon a disruption in the energy supply or hard areas
within the workpiece.
7. The tool shall be disconnected from the compressed
air system for the purpose of transportation, especially
where ladders are used or where an unusual physical
posture is adopted whilst moving.
8. Carry the fastener driving tool at the workplace using
only the handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
9. Take conditions at the workplace into account.
Fasteners can penetrate thin workpieces or slip
off corners and edges of workpieces, and thus put
people at risk.
10. For personal safety, use protective equipment such as
hearing and eye protection.
11. The trigger and the safety yoke have to be actuated for
each driving operation, with the order of actuation not
being specifi ed. For repeated driving operations, it is
suffi cient if either the trigger remains activated and the
safety yoke is activated thereafter, or vice versa.
12. Avoid triggering the tool if the magazine is empty.
13. Any defective or improperly functioning tool must
immediately be disconnected from the compressed air
supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
14. In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end
of the working shift, disconnect the tool from the
compressed air supply and it is recommended to
empty the magazine.
15. The compressed air connectors of the tool and the
hoses should be protected against contamination. The
ingress of coarse dust, chips, sand etc. will result in
leaks and damage to the tool and the couplings.
COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
1. Proper functioning of the fastener driving tool requires
fi ltered, dry < and lubricated > compressed air in
adequate quantities.
2. If the air pressure in the line system exceeds the
maximum allowable pressure of the fastener driving
tool, a pressure reducing valve followed by a
downstream safety valve shall additionally be fi tted in
the supply line to the tool.
3. Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed
air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped with
quick-action connectors.
(Figure 1)
4. The compressor plant shall be adequately
dimensioned in terms of pressure output and
performance (volumetric fl ow) for the consumption
which is to be expected. Line sections which are too
small in relation to the length of the line (pipes and
hoses), as well as overloading the compressor, will
result in pressure drops.
5. Permanently laid compressed air pipelines should
have an internal diameter of at least 19 mm and a
corresponding large diameter where relatively long
pipelines or multiple users are involved.
6. Compressed air pipelines should be laid so as to
form a gradient (highest point in the direction to the
compressor). Easily accessible water separators
should be installed at the lowest points.
7. Junctions for users should be joined to the pipelines
from above.
8. Connecting points for fastener driving tools should be
fi tted with a compressed air servicing unit (fi lter/water
separator/oiler) directly at the junction point.
9. Oilers must be checked on a daily basis and if
necessary topped up with the recommended
grade of oil (see TECHNICAL DATA). Where hose
lengths of over 10 m are used, the oil supply for
the fastener driving tool cannot be guaranteed. We
therefore recommend that 2 to 5 drops (depending
on the loading of the fastener driving tool ) of the
recommended oil (see TECHNICAL DATA) should be
added via the air inlet of the tool, or an oiler attached
directly to the fastener driving tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
1. If
a staple jam occurs, disconnect tool from air supply.
(Figure 8)
2. Release magazine and slide the rail back. Remove
jammed fasteners.
(Figure 9)
3. Or remove the face plate screws, and remove the
jammed projectile. Put back face plate and screw
fi xatio
n in ensuring the proper functioning of the
security probe.
(
Figure 10
)
MAINTENANCE:
1. While tool is disconnected from air supply, make daily
inspection to ensure free movement of safety yoke and
trigger.
2. All screws should be kept tight.
(Figure 2)
Loose screws result in unsafe operation and parts
breakage. Squirt oil lightly with 2 or 3 oil drops into the
air inlet.
3. Only use recommended oil in the technical
specifi cations. Keep the tool clean. Wipe it regularly
with a dry cloth, and inspect for wear. Lubricate the
sliding parts of the magazine occasionally to prevent
wear.
4. Do not use fl ammable cleaning solutions. Do not soak
and use solvent, such solutions may damage O-rings
and oth
er sensitive tool parts. Use clean, dry air.
Preferably use a processing unit of compressed
air upstream of the connection of the tool. Repairs
other than those described here should be
performed only by trained, qualifi ed personnel or by
after-sales-service of the producer.
