TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE
Selecting compressor
The air compressor must comply with the requirements of
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output
to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph shows the
relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and
compressor air output. Thus, for example, if nailing takes
place at a rate of approximately 40 times per minute at a
compression of 6 kgf/cm2G (85 PSIG), a compressor with
an air output over 95 l/minute is required. Pressure regu-
lators must be used to limit air pressure to the rated pres-
sure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool's
rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury
to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.
ANSI 619.3
-
1981.
Selecting air hose
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure
continuous, efficient nailing operation. With an air pressure
of 5 kgf/cm2G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an internal
diameter of over 8.5 mm (5/16") and a length of less than
20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the interval between
each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall have a
minimum working pressure rating of 10.7 kgf/cm2G (150
PSIG) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced
in the system whichever is higher.

)
CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency
may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool.
Lubrication
T o insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust
the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every
30 nails.
When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool
oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting.
This should be done before and after use. For proper lubri-
cation, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneu-
matic tool oil is introduced.
