RAK283b
ENGLISH
OPERATING PROCEDURES
SETUP: AIR SOURCE
The RAK283b is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air, regulated at
60-100 PSI / 413 to 690 kPa / 4.13 to 6.9 bar. The preferred system would include
a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as
possible (within 15 feet / 5 meters is ideal). Do not use bottled air or gases. Please
see below:
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm the internal
components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these and significantly
prolong the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has sufficient oil. If an in-line oiler
is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each
workday. More than this will be expelled from the tool’s exhaust during firing.
Air Fitting: The RAK283b should be equipped with a 1/4” NPT male ‘quick connector’.
To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must always be
connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure in it is released when
the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, &
regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI /
1034 kPa / 10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is
greater.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a
jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing it to another person.
SETUP: CONNECTING THE TOOL
Turn the compressor on and set the regulator to proper pressure for the size for the size
and type of fasteners being used.
After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
CAUTION:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Do not load fasteners with air connected, safety or trigger depressed.
Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing or
operating this tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
