manual abstract
The tool will fire a fastener each time the contact safety is depressed. This method is known as “contact actuation” and allows very fast repetitive fastener placement. IMPORTANT: A“single sequential actuation” trigger, which will limit the tool to method number 1 only, is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800321- 9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-731-660-9374 outside the United States and Canada, and providing tool model number, type, serial number, etc. For identification purposes: the single sequential actuation trigger is red. Fig. 24 S Fig. 23 AB C D 9 Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. Never carry tool with finger on trigger. In “Contact Actuation Mode” tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped while trigger is depressed. Never point tool at yourself or others. Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at too steep an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury. Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair. The depth to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment (A) Fig. 25. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a maximum setting. Test fire a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired: loosen locking screw (B) Fig. 25, slide adjustment to desired position and retighten locking screw (sliding the two members closer together increases the depth of drive, sliding the two members farther apart decreases the depth of drive). Test fire another fastener and check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool. A rubber nose cushion (C) Fig. 25, is provided to reduce marring of the work surface. The rubber cushion can be pulled off to provide increased depth-ofdrive for toe-nailing applications. Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or reinstalling rubber cushion. Fig. 25 A B C 10 CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER Disconnect tool from air supply. 1. Remove any remaining fasteners from the nailer. A. Pull follower all the way to the rear, until it latches (A) Fig. 26. B. Slide fasteners to the rear, and remove from magazine (see Fig. 27). 2. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and/or a flat screwdriver to free bent fastener from back of nosepiece (see Fig. 28). If fastener cannot be removed as described, it may be necessary to remove the magazine as follows: A. Remove two screws (one on each side of tool) (A) Fig. 29. B. Remove two nuts (B) Fig. 29. C. Slide magazine back, off of nosepiece. D. After clearing bent fastener, reverse above to reassemble. Fig. 26 Fig. 27 < A Fig. 28 Fig. 29 B A 11 MAINTENANCE CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all problems before placing the tool back in use. Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flammable cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. DO NOT SOAK tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts. Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts. Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage tool. If tool is used without an in-line oiler: place 5 or 6 drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil into the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday. SERVICE AND REPAIRS All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to wear from normal use. These operations, including brush inspection and replacement, should ONLY be performed by either an AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER-CABLE•DELTA FACTORY SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. We cannot guarantee repairs made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies. Should you have any questions about your tool, feel free to write us at any time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the nameplate of your tool (model number, type, serial number, etc.). 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Disconnect tool from air supply before performing any Service Procedure. SYMPTOM PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS 1. Air leak near top of tool or in trigger area. Loose screws. Worn or damaged o-rings or seals. Tighten ...
