2. CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM

· Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure of the fastener driving tool. Set the air pressure initially to the lower value of the recommended allowable pressure (see TECHNICAL DATA).

· Empty the magazine to prevent a fastener from being ejected at the next stage of work in the event that internal parts of the fastener driving tool are not in the starting position following maintenance and repair work or transportation.

· Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped with quick-action connectors.

· Check for proper functioning by applying the muzzle of the fastener driving tool to a piece of wood or wooden material and actuating the trigger once or twice.

 

3. FILLING THE MAGAZINE

Only those fasteners specified under TECHNICAL DATA may be used.

When filling the magazine, hold the tool so that the muzzle is not pointing towards the operator or any other person.

 

4. HANDLING THE TOOL

a)  Pay attention to  -SPECIAL REFERENCES- of these operating instructions

b)  Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the trigger

c)  Check whether the fastener has been driven into the workpiece in accordance with the requirements:

·  if the fastener is protruding, increase the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar, checking the result after each new adjustment.

·  if the fastener is driven into an excessive depth, reduce the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar until the result is satisfactory.

d)  You should endeavour in any event to work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give you three significant advantages

·  Energy will be saved,

·  Less noise will be produced,

·  A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be achieved

e)  Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the magazine is empty

f)   Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving tool must immediately be disconnected from the compressed air supply and passed to a specialist for inspection

g)  In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of the working shift, disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply and it is recommended to empty the magazine

h)  The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving tool and the hoses should be protected against contamination. The ingress of coarse dust, chips, sand etc. will result in leaks and damage to the fastener driving tool and the couplings

 

Maitenance

Disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply and empty the magazine.
