I. INTRODUCTION The G3690 Angle Finish Nailer is designed for driving and setting clipped head finish nails in most natural and composite wood materials. It is especially suited for cabinetmaking and fastening trim moldings. The tough, lightweight construction offers dependable performance while reducing operator fatigue. II. COMMENTARY acquainted with the Model G3690 Angle Finish Nailer. The time you invest before you begin to use this tool will be time well spent. Also, read all of the safety procedures.
III. SAFETY RULES FOR NAIL GUNS 1. NEVER leave the gun connected to an air source when inspecting or maintaining. 2. The gun must be routinely inspected for worn or damaged parts and air leaks. If the gun is faulty, it should be removed from service and labeled, “DO NOT USE.” 3. Make sure the safety nose is functioning properly before loading fasteners and the magazine spring is set before operating. 4. DISCONNECT the gun from the air source before loading fasteners. 5.
IV. UNPACKING Carefully remove the items packed in the carton. It may be a good idea to save the carton and packing material in case it might be needed in the future. Upon removal of all items from the package, you should have: 1. 2. 3. 4. Nail Gun Allen Head Wrench Oil Bottle Safety Goggles V. AIR A. AIR PRESSURE Air pressure should be set at the minimum required to set the fastener and must not exceed 120 p.s.i. Follow all safety items above and see Section V.B.
VI. PRE-USE CHECKS VII. OPERATIONS A. CLEANING A. LOADING FASTENERS Keep the gun nose as clean as possible. Dirt and debris have a tendency to work their way into the gun from the nose. Wipe off any dirt that collects on the outside of the gun before connecting it to the air supply. To load the gun: B. OILING Keep the gun oiled. Use special pneumatic tool oil to keep internal parts well lubricated. This tool oil is available through the Grizzly Catalog (G2820). 1.
VII. OPERATIONS B. UNLOADING FASTENERS C. CONNECTING TO AIR Fasteners should be removed each time you finish using the gun. To connect the air hose to the air nozzle at the rear of the gun: To unload the gun: 1. Disconnect the air hose if still connected. 2. Press the button inside the spring handle finger hole. Figure 5. Guide the spring handle to the front of the gun. DO NOT LET THE SPRING HANDLE SNAP BACK TO ITS RESTING POSITION! 3.
VII. OPERATIONS D. TEST FIRING E. ROUTINE USE Whenever changing fastener size or composition of material being fastened, the gun should be tested to ensure that the air pressure is set correctly and the gun is working properly. To operate the nail gun under routine conditions, always wear safety glasses and: To test fire the gun, wear safety glasses and follow the steps below: 1. 2. Select a sample workpiece similar in composition to the type of material you will be fastening.
VII. OPERATIONS E. ROUTINE USE (CONT’D) Figure 7 shows using the gun for a horizontal application. Figure 8 shows using the gun for a vertical application. Caution: If the gun nose is positioned too near the edge of the workpiece or is not held straight, there is a chance that the fastener will either split the workpiece or be deflected. Do not hold the gun so that exhausted air is blown into your face or someone else’s face.
VIII. INSPECTION WARNING: All inspections and/or any maintenance is to be performed with the air supply disconnected from the tool. Inspect and maintain the following items daily: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Inspect air hoses and fittings for wear and tear and replace if necessary. 6. Inspect the air compressor to ensure that it is operating properly. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. 7. Inspect the automatic lubricating system if applicable and fill as required.
IX. MAINTENANCE Maintenance requirements are minimal for this nail gun. The two most common problems with any nail gun are jamming and damaged drivers. In both cases, the gun will need to be partially diassembled to make the repairs. A. JAMMING 1. Disconnect gun from the air supply. The third most common problem is replacing worn out O-rings. This is quite easily done, but extensive disassembly will be required. We suggest consulting with the Grizzly service staff for special instructions if needed.
IX. MAINTENANCE B. DAMAGED DRIVER C. O-RINGS AND RE-ASSEMBLY To remove the driver: Since the gun is disassembled, inspect the condition of the visible O-rings. If the O-rings show signs of wear and tear, they should be replaced. Inspect the surfaces where the Orings seal for any possible rough spots which will erode the new O-rings. When replacing the O-rings, make sure that there is no dirt or grit in the groove where the O-rings seat. Do not stretch the O-rings or nick them on any sharp edges or burrs.
IX. MAINTENANCE D. TESTING AFTER ASSEMBLY To initially test the gun after a repair procedure: 1. Put on your safety glasses, reduce the regulated air pressure to 30 PSI. Do not put any fasteners into the magazine. Connect the air hose. NOTE: It is important to reduce the initial test pressure so that damage to the gun does not occur when firing without any fasteners in the magazine. X. TROUBLESHOOTING This section covers some other potential problems and possible causes.
