Operation
Operating the tool:
Firing mechanism:
This tool operates on a single sequential firing system.
Where to use finishing nailer.
Finishing nailer/staplers are used mainly in medium to light
duty applications. The use of T-Brad finishing nails enable
the nail heads to be countersunk under the surface of
your work surface. This is important where the ‘finish’ or
appearance of the workpiece is a priority.
Some additional important safety applications are as follows:
1. Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials
too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel.
2. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with
the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may
ricochet causing personal injury.
3. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece.
The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly
free or ricochet causing personal injury.
Checking the safety strike element:
1. Disconnect the air hose from the brad nailer and remove
all fasteners from the magazine.
2. Make sure the trigger and the strike nose move freely up
and down.
3. Reconnect air hose to the finish nailer.
4. Push the strike element against the work surface without
depressing the trigger. The finish nailer must NOT cycle.
5. Remove the finish nailer from the work surface, the strike
element should return to its original position. Pull the
trigger, the brad nailer must NOT cycle. If it cycles DO
NOT use it.
Loading & unloading the fasteners:
1. Always disconnect the finish nailer to the air hose before
loading fasteners.
2. Press and pull the latch (4)
back until it catches onto the
back of the nail magazine
cover (5).
3. Insert a row of quality T-Brad
finishing fasteners into the
magazine. Make sure the
pointed ends of the fasteners
are resting on the bottom of
the magazine.
IMPORTANT. Make sure
the fasteners are not rusted,
damaged or dirty.
4. Push the nail magazine cover
(5) forward until the latch
meets with the nails.
5. Always disconnect the air hose before unloading
fasteners.
