ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before
making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental
actuation can causeinjury.
Preparing the Tool

WARNING: Read the section titled IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this
manual. Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/
CSA Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6
(S3.19)] when operating this tool. Keep the fastener
pointed away from yourself and others. For safe
operation, complete the following procedures and
checks before each use of thefastener.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,
only use CRAFTSMAN, pneumatic tool oil or a non-
detergent SAE 20 weight oil. Oil with additives or
detergent will damage toolparts.
• Before you use the tool, be sure that the compressor
tanks have been properlydrained.
• Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
• Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
• Check for smooth and proper operation of contact
trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either
assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool
that has the contact trip restrained in the up position.
• Check air supply: Ensure air pressure does not exceed
operating limits; 70 to 120 p.s.i.g., (5 to 8.5 kg/cm
2
).
• Lubricate tool:
- Use CRAFTSMAN pneumatic tool oil or a non-
detergent S.A.E. 20 weight oil. DO NOT use
detergent oil or additives as they will damage
O-rings and rubberparts.
- Use a filter whenpossible.
- Add 5 to 7 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice
aday.
• Connect airhose.
• Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets.
Never use a tool that leaks or has damagedparts.
Lubrications
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best
performance. Oil added through the air line connection
will lubricate the internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or
additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear
to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
If no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the
air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. Only a few drops
of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect
inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
