BRAD NAILER & STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. BRAD NAILER & STAPLER SAFETY 1. THIS TOOL IS DESIGNED for household use only, not for industrial or professional purposes. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. 2. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE.
UNPACKING & PACKING LIST UNPACKING With the help of a friend or trustworthy foe, such as one of your in-laws, carefully remove the brad nailer and stapler from the packaging and place it on a sturdy, flat surface. Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until everything is removed. Check the packing list below to make sure you have all of the parts and accessories.
PREPARATIONS & ADJUSTMENTS LUBRICATING THE TOOL This tool requires lubrication before each use (especially the first use). If an inline oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required. Proper lubrication is the owner’s responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void the warranty. NOTE: The surface of the workpiece can be damaged by excessive lubrication. 1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply. 2.
PREPARATIONS & ADJUSTMENTS 1. Turn the compressor on and allow it to pressurize. Make sure the tool pressure regulator is set to 0 (Fig. 2). 2. Connect the air hose to the outlet of your air compressor. Connect the other end of the air hose to the air inlet of the nailer. The connections must click into place audibly. Use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking. 3. On the air compressor, set the tool pressure regulator to the proper pressure (60 – 100 PSI).
OPERATION WARNING! Before each use, check the nailer, compressed air connections, and air lines. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not operate this tool until the parts are repaired and/or replaced. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury. ADJUSTING THE DEPTH-ADJUSTMENT WHEEL The tool is equipped with a depth-adjustment wheel (Fig. 5 - 1) to set the penetration depth of the fasteners.
OPERATION DRIVING MODES Your nailer has two driving modes: single-sequential and full-sequential. For details, see below. Your tool cannot bump-fire – that is, it cannot have the trigger pulled before the safety bracket is activated. It will not fire. Single-sequential: 1. Press the safety bracket against the workpiece. 2. Pull the trigger. A fastener is fired. 3. Remove the safety bracket from the workpiece. Re-position the tool. Repeat steps 1 – 3. Full-sequential: 1.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! Disconnect tool from air supply and empty fasteners from the magazine before performing any cleaning or maintenance. LUBRICATION Routine lubrication of the tool is required for best performance. If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 3 – 4 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday. This will ensure the moving components, seals, and O-rings are properly lubricated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE WARNING! Stop using the tool immediately if any of the following problems occur. Repairs and replacements should only be performed by an authorized technician. For any questions, please contact our customer service at 1-(800) 232-1195, M-F 8-5 CST or email us at techsupport@wenproducts.com.
