Preparing The Tool For Use; Adjusting The Exhaust - AEG CFN90 Original Instructions Manual

Always wear eye protection. Eye protection does
not fit all operators in the same way. Make sure the
eye protection chosen has side shields or provides
protection from flying debris both from the front and
sides.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
● Framing
● Decking
● Engineered timber
● Fencing
● Trusses
● Cladding
● Bracing
● Subflooring

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE

See figure 2.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be
lubricated before connecting the tool to an air supply.
Add air tool oil into the air fitting on the tool once daily
with minimal use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only a
few drops of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will
only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the
exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor
gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range
of 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120 psi).
NO-MAR PAD
See figure 3.
The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps
prevent marring and denting when working with softer
woods.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
The pad for the framing nailer can be removed by pulling
it away from the toe-nailing claw. To replace the pad, fit it
into place over the points of the claw.
On-board storage for the pad is located on the body of
the tool.

ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST

See figure 4.
The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows
the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator
preference.
To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.

WARNING
WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving
the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
WIRE DEFLECTOR
See figure 5.
Nail coils are connected by small pieces of wire that
can fly from the nose of the tool as nails are driven.
The transparent wire deflector helps prevent these wire
pieces from hitting the operator.
NOTE: The wire deflector is not shown in all illustrations.
However, the deflector should not be removed except for
maintenance or replacement.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving
the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See figure 6.
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120
psi). The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 8.3 bar (120 psi)
may damage the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that
allows all pressure to be removed from the tool when the
coupling is disconnected.
Always use a coupling that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause
unintended operation and serious personal injury.
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female
quick connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may
be used in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not
available. For maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in.
