LOADING A C SERIES CLINCHING TOOL
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this
tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in anvil area of tool while the air supply
is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not pull the trigger while loading the tool.
1. STAGING FOLLOWER: Pull the follower to the end of the magazine and hook the follower over the back
edge of the magazine.
2. LOADING CLIPS: Clips are loaded with the single ear forward. If clips are loaded backward into the
magazine, double ears forward, they will not wrap and jamming will occur. The first check of jamming
should be to see that the clips are properly loaded in the magazine.
3. CHECK ADJUSTMENT: Loosen the two screws holding the magazine cover. Place the cover
approximately .04" (1mm) from the top of the clips in the magazine.
4. RELEASE FOLLOWER: Rock the follower forward which will release the hook off the back edge of
the magazine.
REMOVE JAMS: Disconnect the air supply. Pull the follower to the end of the magazine and hook the
follower over the back edge of the magazine. This will remove the force on the strip of the clips ( remove
clips if necessary ) and the clip should drop out. If tool is still jammed, remove clip manually.
NOTE: Use only fasteners recommended by HARTCO for the C Series tool or fasteners which
meet HARTCO specifications.
