OPERATING PROCEDURES

SETUP: AIR SOURCE

 

The RNS-18G-001 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  RNS-18G-001  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.
