AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate
because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system.
Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the
pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power.
Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply
source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that
would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Always disconnect air supply: 1. Before making adjustments; 2. When servicing the
tool; 3. When clearing a jam; 4. When tool is not in use; 5. When moving to a
different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The Fastener Control adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth;
from flush with the work surface to shallow or deep countersink. First, set the air pressure
for consistent drive in the specific work. Then use the Fastener Control adjustment to give
the desired depth of drive.
TO ADJUST FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT:
1. With air pressure set, drive a few fasteners into a representative material sample to
determine if adjustment is necessary.
2. If adjustment is required, disconnnect air supply.
