OPERATING THE TOOL
AIR SUPPLY
Power source (Compressor)
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a
power source for this tool.
Never use oxygen or other bottled gases, as an
explosion may occur.
Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this
tool must comply with the requirements of the latest
version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 Safety Standard for
Compressors for Process Industries.
Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate
wear and corrosion in the tool.
Drain daily.
Never use a tool that is leaking air.
Disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners
from magazine before doing tool maintenance, clearing a
jammed fastener, or moving to another location.
OPERATING PRESSURE
Recommended operating pressure is 70 to 110psi / 5 to
7.5 kgs.
Maximum permissible operating pressure is 150psi.
Select the operating pressure within this range for the
best fastener performance. The fastener length and
thickness and the hardness of the wood are factors in
determining what the pressure should be set at.
Do not exceed recommended operating pressure.
Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate
wear and corrosion in the tool.
Drain daily.
LUBRICATION
It is important that the tool be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work properly and
parts will wear prematurely.
Use INTERCHANGE pneumatic tool lubricant. Do not use
detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the
O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the tool to
malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used. Keep
the lubricator filled with INTERCHANGE pneumatic tool
lubricant.
If a lubricator is not available, supply 3 to 5 drops of
INTERCHANGE pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on
the tool twice a day.
