have any questions, please contact our authorized representatives.
2. Only those fasteners listed in the operating instructions may be used in the fastener driv-
ing tools.
3. Only the main energy and the lubricants listed in the operating instructions may be used.
4. Fastener driving tools marked with an inverted equilateral triangle standing on one point
may only be used with an effective safety yoke.
5. Fastener driving tools equipped with contact actuation or continuous contact actuation,
marked with the symbol " Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders", shall not be used for spe-
cific application for example:
─when changing one driving location to another involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs,
ladders, or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
─closing boxes or crates,
─fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons.
6. For the maintenance of fastener driving tools, only spare parts specified by the manufac-
turer or his authorized representative shall be used.
7. Repairs shall carried out by agents authorized by the manufacturer or by other specialis-
ts, having due regard to the information given in the operating instruction.
8. Stands for mounting the fastener driving tools to a support for example a work table shall
be designed and constructed by the stand manufacturer in such a way that the fastener
driving tool can be safely fixed for the intended use, thus for example avoiding damage,
distortion or displacement.
9. Fastener driving tools operated by compressed air shall only be connected to compress-
ed air lines where the maximum allowable pressure cannot be exceed by a factor of
more than 10%, which can for example be achieved by a pressure reduction valve
which includes a downstream safety valve.
10. When using fastener driving tools operated by compressed air, particular attention must
be paid to avoid exceeding the maximum allowable pressure.
11. When using fastener driving tools operated by compressed air should only be operated
at the lowest pressure required for the work process at hand, in order to prevent unnece-
ssarily high noise levels, increased wear and resulting failures.
12. Hazards caused by fire and explosion when using oxygen or combustible gases for ope-
rating compressed air operated fastener driving tools.
13. Carry the fastener driving tool at workpiece using only the handgrip, and never with the
trigger actuated. Never carry the tool by the hose or pull the hose to move the tool.
14. Disconnect the tool from air supply before cleaning jams,
servicing, adjusting, and during non-operation.
15. Wear eye protection.
16. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows
air to remain in the tool.
17. Do not place your hand or any part of your body in the
fastener discharge area of the tool when connecting or
disconnecting air supply.
18. Never point tool at yourself or at any other person.
19. Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTION
NOTE
‧Many air tool users find it convenient to use oiler to help provide oil
circulation through tool and increase the efficiency and useful life of
the tool. Check oil level in the oiler daily.
‧Many air tool user find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquid
and impurities which can rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A
filter also increase the efficiency and useful of the tool. The filter
must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary drained.
‧For better performance, install a 3/8" quick connector (1/4" NPT
threads) with an inside diameter of .315" on your tool and a 3/8"
quick coupler on the air hose.
The following illustration shows the correct mode of connection to the air supply system
which will increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
‧Disconnect the air supply from the tool before lubricating.
‧Your tool requires lubrication before you use it for the first time.
‧Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust. Excessive oil will damage
O-rings of tool. If in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the
air inlet is not required on a daily basis.
‧Turn the tool so the inlet is facing up and put one drop of high
speed spindle oil, UNOCAL RX22, or 3-IN-1 oil into air inlet. Never
use detergent oil or additives. Operate the tool briefly after adding
oil.
