Operation
Operating the tool:
Firing mechanism:
This tool operates on a single (full sequential actuation)
firing system.
Single (full sequential actuation) firing.
To fire, grip tool firmly to maintain control, position nose
of tool onto work surface, depress safety, and squeeze
trigger 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 finishing nailer.
Finishing nailers are used mainly in medium to light duty
applications. The use of C Brad nails enables the nail heads
to be countersunk under the surface of you work surface.
This is important where the ‘finish’ or appearance of the
workpiece is a priority.
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 brad nailer and remove
all fasteners from the magazine.
2. Make sure the trigger and the strike nose move freely up
and down.
3. Reconnect air hose to the finish nailer.
4. Push the strike element against the work surface without
depressing the trigger. The finish nailer MUST NOT cycle.
5. Remove the finish nailer from the work surface, the
strike element should return to its original position. Pull
the trigger, the brad nailer MUST NOT cycle. If it cycles
DO NOT use it.
Loading & unloading the fasteners:
1. Always disconnect the finish nailer to the air hose before
loading fasteners.
2. Press and pull the latch (4)
back until it catches onto the
back of the nail magazine
cover (5).
3. Insert a row of quality C - brad
fasteners into the magazine.
Make sure the pointed ends
of the fasteners are resting on
the bottom of the magazine.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fasteners are not rusted,
damaged or dirty.
5. Push the nail magazine cover (5) forward until the latch
meets with the nails.
6. Always disconnect the air hose before unloading
fasteners.
