Single (full sequential actuation) firing To fire, grip tool firmly to maintain control, position the contact safety nose (1) of tool onto work surface, and squeeze trigger (4) to fire a fastener. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. This “full sequential actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement. Where to use framing nailer Framing nailer guns are used mainly in heavy construction applications. Some additional important safety applications are as follows: 1. Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel. 2. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may ricochet causing personal injury. 3. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. Checking the safety strike element 1. Disconnect the air hose from the framing gun nailer and remove all fasteners from the magazine (7). 2. Make sure the trigger (4) and the contact safety nose (1) move freely up and down. 3. Reconnect air hose to the framing nailer. Loading & unloading the fasteners CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose before loading the nailer. Make sure that nails are collated firmly and are not bent. Select nails suitable for your work. 1. Slide back the latch (9) all the way to the back of the magazine (7) until the nail lock (8) has been engaged (Fig. A). 2. Insert the strip of nails into the nail top loading slot (6) (Fig. B). 3. Tilt the framing gun forward to allow the strip nails to slide towards the front of the nail magazine (7) 4. Press the nail lock (8) and the latch (9) will spring forward, securing the strip nails against the firing chamber. Adjusting depth of nailing CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the depth of nailing. IMPORTANT. Always test the nail depth on a sample piece of wood and establish whether the nail head is too deep or proud of the surface. 1. To adjust the nail driving depth, rotate the Depth adjustment dial (2) at the front of the adjustment plate, rotate anticlockwise (up the thread) for deeper nail driving and likewise, rotate clockwise (downwards) for a flush nail driving (flat to surface),(Fig. C). A B C 2. Connect the Framing Gun to an air supply and fire a nail into a sample piece of wood to determine the driving depth has been achieved. 3. If the nail depth is not acceptable, disconnect the tool from the air supply and re-adjust. Connecting the air hose 1. Slip the air coupling of the air hose onto the air fitting on the nailer. Be sure that the air coupling locks firmly into position when installed onto the air fitting (Fig. D). 2. A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time the air supply coupling is disconnected. Operation 1. Push the contact safety nose (1) against the work surface without depressing the trigger (4). 2. Once the nail gun has been positioned to the appropriate firing angle, depress the trigger (4) and release. Clearing a jam CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose and remove the nails from the magazine before clearing a jam. When the nailer becomes jammed, proceed as follows: 1. Insert a small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a hammer to drive out the nail jamming the ejection port. (Fig. E) 2. Reset the nails inside the magazine 3. Test the framing gun. Air source This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 75 and 120 PSI. The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible. All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 3 - 4 drops of non detergent oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday. DANGER. All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of at least 150 PSI or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is greater. Maintenance CAUTION. Always ensure that the air hose is disconnected from the tool before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. Maintenance of nailer Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required (Fig. F). 1. Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact safety nose (1) is pressed against the wood. It must work only when both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded. 2. Entering dirt or foreign matter into the tool may cause damage to the tool....
