WARnIng! ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
9.1.
load the magazine before connecting to an air supply. to open the magazine, hold the nail/staple gun vertically with one hand, with the
other hand, press the magazine catch inwards and slide the magazine backwards at the same time. Place a “stick” of nails/staples into
the open magazine chamber, ensuring that they have their points resting on the bottom of the chamber.
9.2.
slide the magazine cover shut until it clicks into place behind the catch.
9.3.
Before connecting to an air supply ensure that the trigger release slide is
not
depressed. connect the air line to the nail/staple gun as
described in section 8.
9.4.
the operating trigger is normally locked and cannot be used until the trigger release slide is depressed. this happens automatically as
the nail/staple gun is positioned onto the surface of the material.
note:
If possible carry out a test on a sample piece before commencing work properly.
Do not
drive fasteners close to the edge of a
workpiece or onto another fastener, as the workpiece may split, and there is a danger the fastener could ricochet, causing injury.
9.5.
the trigger release slide protrudes downwards just in front of the nail/staple outlet (fig.6). Place the tip of the slide onto the material to
be nailed, keeping the nail/staple gun at a right angle to the material, and press downwards to bring the nail outlet into contact with the
surface. as the slide retracts the trigger will become free to use.
9.6.
depress the trigger to fire one nail/staple. to fire another nail/staple, release the trigger, reposition the nail/staple gun at the next nailing
point and depress the trigger again. repeat as necessary.
9.7.
If the nail/staple gun needs to be put down during the course of work, ensure that the trigger slide catch is not depressed accidently
against any object.
9.8.
When work is complete or when pausing for any length of time, disconnect the nail/staple gun from the air line.
WARnIng! should a blockage occur, disconnect nail/staple gun from the air supply immediately.
9.9.
access the blockage by opening the magazine.
9.10.
remove the nail/staple and any foreign matter found blocking the mechanism and close the magazine.
9.11.
ensure that all parts of the nail/staple gun are secure and correctly positioned, and that the trigger release slide is
not
depressed.
then reconnect the air supply.

8.1.
Air supply
8.1.1. Before connecting to an air supply ensure that the trigger release slide is
not
depressed (fig.6).
8.1.2. the nail/staple gun requires an operating air pressure of between 70-110psi.
8.1.3.
WARnIng!
ensure the air supply is clean and air pressure is maintained and does not exceed 120psi while operating the nail/staple
gun. too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing
damage and/or personal injury.
8.1.4. drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the nail/staple gun
and will invalidate your warranty.
8.1.5. clean the air inlet filter weekly. recommended hook-up is shown in fig.7.
8.1.6. line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). the minimum hose diameter should be
1/4” I.d. and fittings must have the same bore.
8.1.7. Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check air hoses for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are
secure.
8.2.
couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air nail/staple gun. to overcome this, connect a
leader hose to the nail/staple gun. a quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose
(figs.7 & 8).

READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 1 FIRST, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONALLY APPLY
TO THE NAIL/STAPLE GUN
WARnIng!
disconnect from air supply before refilling with nails/staples, servicing or performing maintenance.
maintain the
nail/staple gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
replace or repair damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
use in suitable clean and tidy work area, free from unrelated materials. ensure there is adequate lighting.
WARnIng!
always wear approved eye and/or face and hand protection when operating the nail/staple gun.
maintain correct balance and footing. ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
ensure workpiece is secure before operating the nail/staple gun. never hold a workpiece by hand.
Prolonged exposure to vibration from this nail/staple gun may pose a health risk. It is the owner’s responsibility to correctly assess the
potential hazard and issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
Do not
use any other power source other than an air compressor.
Do not
operate the nail/staple gun near any flammable substance or on any container that once contained an flammable substance.
Do not
operate the nail/staple gun if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
Do not
carry the nail/staple gun by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
Do not
place the nail/staple gun close to your face and do not point at other persons or animals.
Do not
carry the nail/staple gun with your finger on the trigger.
Keep hands and body clear of working parts.
If the nail/staple gun is put down during pauses in operation, ensure that it is not placed in a restricted position that could put pressure
on the trigger catch slide, or that the trigger catch slide is not depressed by the weight of the nail/staple gun.
during any extended breaks in operation, disconnect the nail/staple gun from the air supply.
