Specifications - Craftsman 18180 - to Coil Roofing Nailer Operator's Manual

DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman Roofing Nailer drives full size, full head roofing
nails from _/,"to 13/, " long. Magazine holds 120 nails in a coil
so that one load will nail down one full bundle of shingles. Tool
can be used for new or reroofing with either asphalt or fiber-
glass shingles. Safety feature disables tool unless contact trip
is pressed against workpiece. Depth adjuster controls depth
of fastener. Air deflector can be adjusted to any direction.The
contact trip is hardened to reduce wear caused by contact
with shingles. Die cast magnesium body with textured rubber
grip minimizes operator fatigue and makes nailer lightweight
and durable.

AIR SUPPLY LINE
Refer to Figure 1.
DANGER: Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure
compressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this
tool. The tool will explode and serious personal injury could
result.
• The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from
70to 110 PSI.
• Never connect the tool to air pressure which could poten-
tially exceed 200 PSI. Use only clean, dry, regulated air
within rated range as marked on tool.
Air Delivery Required: 2.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI
(30 shots per minute).
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area
of tool when connecting air supply. Always disconnecttool
from air supply when servicing or adjusting tool and when tool
is not in use.
• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated com-
pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.
• Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-
age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.
• Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not
removed from compressed air.
• A fUter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be
located as close to tool as possible. A distance of less than
15 feet is recommended.
• Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure
to the tool causing a reduction in power and efficiency.
• The air supply system must be able to provide air pressure
of 70 to 110 pounds per square inch at tool.
• All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean
and free of moisture and foreign particles. Hoses must be
rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150%
of maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
• Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.
• The air pressure should be properly regulated.
• Different workpiece materials and different fastener lengths
will require different operating pressure.
• Be sure all connections in air supply system are sealed to
prevent air loss.
• Never connect a female quick-disconnect couplingto the
tool side of air line connection. A male, free-flow coupling
should be connected to the tool side of air line connection
(see Figure 1).
WARNING: The female coupling provides a seal preventing
boss of compressed air from compressor tank when discon-
nected from male coupling. If connected to tool side of air
supply, the female coupling could seal a compressed air
charge in the tool which could discharge if the tool trigger is
actuated.

LOADING
Female Connector
Refer to Figures 2 through 6, (pages 3 and 4).
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply. Do not load tool
until you are ready to use it. Do not pull trigger or depress
contact trip while loading tool. Always load with nose of tool
pointing away from you and others. Always wear safety gog-
gles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1.
NOTE: For best results, use Sears fasteners only.
