Operation
Operating the tool:
Firing mechanism:
This tool operates on a single sequential firing system.
Where to use brad nailer/stapler
Brad nailer/staplers are used mainly in medium to light duty
applications. The use of brad nails and staples enables 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/stapler 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 brad nailer/stapler.
4. Push the strike element against the work surface
without depressing the trigger. The brad nailer/stapler
must NOT cycle.
5. Remove the brad nailer/stapler from the work surface, the
strike element should return to its original position. Pull
the trigger, the brad nailer/stapler must NOT cycle.
If it cycles DO NOT use it.
Loading & unloading the fasteners:
1. Always disconnect the brad nailer/stapler 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 brad
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/staples.
5. Always disconnect the air hose before unloading
fasteners.
