Compressed Air Supply
Warning! To avoid the gun going off accidentally and injuring someone, the user should
always disconnect the air supply:
1. Before making adjustments.
2. When servicing the nail/staple gun.
3. When removing jammed fasteners.
4. When the nail/staple gun is not in use.
5. When moving to a new work area.
Warning! Only use compressed air as the propellant for pneumatically operated tools.
Do not use oxygen or flammable gases as propellants because they might cause an
explosion.
• The compressor must be capable of providing enough pressure and air ow for the
intended purpose. Drops in the pressure of the air supply could reduce the power of
the nail/staple gun. Read Technical Data to nd out the correct pressure setting for
the nail/staple gun in question.
• Use connectors that release the pressure in the nail/staple gun when the air hose is
disconnected, so the nail gun is pressureless.
• Industrial pressurized air-line systems should be installed with a gradient, and the
highest point should be closest to the compressor. Easily accessible water separa-
tors should be installed at the lowest points. The water separators should be emptied
at least once a day, more if needed. Dirt and water in the compressed air system are
the most common causes of wear in pneumatic tools.
• The nail/staple gun’s air connectors should be equipped with a pressure regulator
and water separator at the point of connection. A lter will help provide the maximum
effect and minimize wear. The lter must be able to cope with the air ow at the re-
spective connection point. The lter must be kept clean if it is to deliver clean air to
the tool. See the manufacturer’s directions for correct lter maintenance. A dirty and
clogged lter results in a drop in pressure, reducing the power of the tool.
• The pressure regulator must be adjustable from 0 to 7 bar.
• The air-lines should be able to withstand a working pressure of 10.5 bar or 150%
of the maximum pressure capable of being delivered by the respective compressed
air system. The feeder line should have a quick-connector so that it can be
disconnected quickly from the nipple on the nail/staple gun.
• Make sure that the pressure delivered to the nail/staple gun does not exceed the
maximum working pressure (7 bar). To begin with, set the working pressure to the
lowest recommended, see Technical Data.
• Check that the nail/staple gun is working properly by carrying out a function test and
safety test each time you start using it.
