Air consumption table

Air compressor size formulaAmount of air required=number of Nailers

× average pins driven each minute per Nailer× air consumption at given air pressure× safety factor (always 1.2)

Example: 2 Nailers operating at 100 psi driving 30 pinsper minute

Amount of air required=2 × 30 × .052 (1.5) × 1.2=3.7 CFM (ft3/min) (108 ltr/min)After making the calculations as shown above, youshould find a compressor providing 3.7 CFM of air thatis required.

LUBRICATIONIt is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not workproperly and parts will wear prematurely.� Use pneumatic tool lubricant.

Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricantswill harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This willcause the Nailer to malfunction.

� Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.Keep the lubricator filled with pneumatic tool lubricant.

� If a lubricator is not available, supply a few drops(approximately 2 cc (.12 in3)) of pneumatic toollubricant into the air plug on the Nailer twice a day.

COLD WEATHER CARE� Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning thework.

� If the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area andallow the Nailer to warm up before use.1 Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bar

4.5 kgf/cm2).2 Remove all pins from the Nailer.3 Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the

Nailer.The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-firethe Nailer.Slow speed operation tends to warm up themoving part.

CAUTION� Do not free-fire the Nailer at high pressure.

TESTING THE NAILER

DANGER

� Always wear eye protector.

WARNING

� Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating

properly.

Before actually beginning work, test the Nailer by usingthe check list below. Conduct the tests in the followingorder.If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Nailer andcontact a ET&F authorized service center immediately.

This nailer has a SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM.

METHOD OF OPERATIONThis Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does notoperate unless the push lever is depressed (upwardposition).

To drive pins with this nailer:1 Position the outlet on the workpiece with finger off the

trigger.2 Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely

depressed.3 Pull the trigger to drive a pin.4 Remove finger from the trigger.

To drive another pin, move the Nailer along theworkpiece and repeat this procedure.

WARNING

� Keep your finger off the trigger except during

fastening operation, because serious injury could

result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or

others in work area.

� Keep hands and body away from the discharge

area. The nailer with contact trip mechanism may

bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and

unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven,

possibly causing injury.

� Some types of loaded pins can spark out of the

muzzle during a pin driving operation. Exericise

caution!

THE SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE SHOTPARTS) is for use where precision fastener placement isdesired and must be operated in accordance with thefollowing “Method of Operation”.

You must first depress the push lever (upward posi-tion) where you want to drive a pin and then pull thetrigger. After the each pin is driven, completely releasethe trigger and lift the tool off the work surface. TheSEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may reduce the
