AIRBOW® FRAMER Operating Instructions 3
Introduction
The AIRBOW® FRAMER harnesses a small amount of compressed air to
deliver serious power. And it does this completely untethered. It feels
amazing to fire, it works in the harshest weather conditions and it’s in the
business of saving money. We have completely reimagined how a framing
gun should fire nails.
The future of nail gun technology is here.
When we considered the challenges this nail gun would rise up against,
it was clear that only one fuel source would do.The AIRBOW® FRAMER
is untethered and draws its power from the air like never before.
The revolutionary new system is made possible by HAMMER FORCE
TECHNOLOGY®, which allows the AIRBOW® FRAMER to direct one gram of
compressed air into a single impact point.
The AIRBOW® FRAMER is a nail gun that is a true pneumatic tool that
operates solely on the power of compressed air and does it completely
untethered. The AIRBOW® FRAMER does not require butane fuel cells, has no
electronics, no battery, no combustion system, no cords and no cooling fan
because it does not need them. The AIRBOW® FRAMER is weatherproof and
performs in the rain, allowing projects to progress in all weather conditions. It
does not require any self-servicing or cleaning by the user and because it runs
on just compressed air it can’t overheat. The AIRBOW® FRAMER is designed
to fire any major branded 50mm – 90mm 34° D head collated nails with up
to 60 nails per collation.

8 AIRBOW® FRAMER Operating Instructions
1. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is
not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing
protection is not worn.
3. Damages to health resulting from vibration
emission if the tool is being used over longer
period of time or not adequately managed and
properly maintained
The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool
with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning
The vibration emission during actual use of the tool
can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to
protect the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
Residual Risks

AIRBOW® FRAMER Operating Instructions 9
All pressure from the system and Onboard Canister can be safely and completely
released through use of the Onboard Canister Pressure Release Valve.
Once opened all pressure will bleed from the system and Onboard Canister until
there is no pressure remaining which renders the tool completely safe and unable
to operate. To use the tool again the valve must be closed and the Onboard Canister
refilled with compressed air.
This valve should be opened in the following situations;
• The tool has been dropped from a height such that it has been damaged or
there is any concern over the safety of the tool
• During a refilling inspection, there are
concerns over the Onboard Canister integrity through damage or misuse
• The tool is to be transported via aircraft or other such transport means
requiring the tool to be rendered completely safe and inoperable

10 AIRBOW® FRAMER Operating Instructions
Note: Onboard Canister is permanently attached and is NOT removable (other than
by an authorised Service Agent).
The compressed air Onboard Canister that is integrated into the AIRBOW® FRAMER
is a 1.1 litre composite Onboard Canister. It has an aluminium internal lining that
is wrapped with a carbon fibre outer. In New Zealand a Carbon Fibre Composite
Onboard Canister must be hydrostatically tested every 5 years. For all other
countries please refer to your local regulations on gas cylinders.
The Onboard Canister has a maximum fill/working pressure of 4500psi/310bar
and has been tested to 6750psi/ 465bar. It has a minimum burst pressure of
13500psi/930bar. Pressurised air (max 4500psi/310bar) from the Onboard Canister
flows up thru the regulator which reduces the pressure to operating pressure. This
is the pressure that is then stored in the Firing Chamber and is used to fire the nail.
The built-in regulator reduces the air pressure from the Onboard Canister before
it is stored in the Firing Chamber ready for nail firing. The regulator has built in
Pressure Release Devices (PRD’s) which will activate should there be a pressure
related issue. It is important to note that if the PRD/Burst disc is activated it will
not “burst” away from the regulator, it will simply allow air to escape and empty
the contents of the Onboard Canister while remaining in place. The AIRBOW®
FRAMER will require servicing should a PRD be activated.
PRD 1 is rated for high pressure activation - located before the pressure reducing
valve and is under full pressure from the Onboard Canister.
PRD 2 is rated for low pressure activation - located following the pressure reducing
regulator. If there is a problem with the Regulator and it does not reduce the
pressure from the Onboard Canister this is the Burst disc that will activate

CLEARING A NAIL JAM
Usage Instructions
18 AIRBOW® FRAMER Operating Instructions

Air Supply & Pressure Information
Your AIRBOW® FRAMER requires a high pressure, clean, dry air source to
operate.
High pressure air compressors use multistage compression chambers to produce
air at very high pressure.
A normal site air compressor can’t generate the pressure required to drive the
AIRBOW® FRAMER’s specialised & highly efficient firing mechanism.
Attempting to connect a different pressure source will not work and could void
the warranty.
The Airbow Framer can be used with any high pressure compressor as long
as certain requirements regarding maximum fill pressure, oil and moisture
content are met. Please contact Airbow with details of the compressor you are
considering using.
Using a poorly filtered high pressure air compressor could introduce unwanted
particulates or contaminants into your AIRBOW® FRAMER, resulting in damage
to the FRAMER and potentially causing explosion and will void warranty.
Not all high pressure (HP) compressors operate in the same way.
It is therefore important for you to familiarise yourself with the correct
operating procedure for your HP Compressor.
Appropriate and timely maintenance of your compressor ensures good air
quality for your AIRBOW® FRAMER.
High pressure compressors which integrate an automated shut off pressure
switch are highly recommended to make filling easy and avoid over pressurising
the AIRBOW® FRAMER.
If the maximum fill pressure is exceeded the high pressure burst disk will
activate, and the AIRBOW® FRAMER will need to be serviced to allow it to be
filled again.”
The pressure in the canister on your tool can be effected by the ambient
temperature. It is safest to not leave your AIRBOW® FRAMER in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods as the resultant pressure increase could activate the Pressure
Release Device (requiring a tool service)

Maintenance/Servicing
The AIRBOW® FRAMER has been designed to minimise servicing requirements
for the end user through use of high grade seals and long-life high specification
lubricants. As the AIRBOW® FRAMER has a closed pressure system it has no air
intake, thus it has no special dust or filters to clean or replace.
Always transport the AIRBOW® FRAMER within its tool case, first depressing the
Safety Pressure release. If transporting the AIRBOW® FRAMER via aircraft then the
Onboard Canister Pressure Release valve should be left open so that there is no
pressure in the Onboard Canister/system (Also check for any specific local aviation
rules prior to transport).
It is recommended that the AIRBOW® FRAMER be checked regularly to ensure that
no screws have come loose which could result in tool damage and possible user
injury.
Wipe down your AIRBOW® FRAMER with a clean cloth particularly when used
in dusty/damp conditions, do not use solvent based cleaners as this may cause
damage to the plastics and soft grip materials.
DO NOT attempt to remove the Onboard Canister from the AIRBOW® FRAMER,
however the onboard canister cover can be removed as required to inspect the
certification details and test dates on the Onboard Canister label.
DO NOT add oil or other lubricant to the air filling system as this could result in tool
damage and possible user injury.
It is recommended that the AIRBOW® FRAMER is fully serviced at 12mth intervals,
or every 6mths for applications of high volume/factory use.
Repairs and servicing shall only be carried out by Airbow Systems or its authorised
agents to ensure that the correct long-life parts/lubricants are used to ensure the
safe working condition of this tool can be verified.
