1. Power source
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Nailer.
Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Nailer must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 "Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries".
Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Nailer. Drain daily.
2. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator
Use a regulator with a pressure range of 0 - 100 psi (0 - 6.9 bar 0 - 7 kgf/cm²).
Filter-regulator-lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Nailer and extend the Nailer life.
These units should always be used.
Filter . The filter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed air.
Drain daily unless fitted with an automatic drain.
Keep the fi iter clean by regular maintenance.
Regulator .... The regulator controls the operating pressure for safe operation of the Nailer.
Inspect the regulator before operation to be sure it operates properly.
Lubricator .... The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Nailer.
Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant is adequate.
Use metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant.
3. Air hose
Compressed air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi (10.4 bar 10.6kgf/cm^2 ), whichever is greater.
4. Air consumption
Using the Air consumption table and the Air compressor size formula, find a correct compressor size.
Air consumption table
| Operating pressure | psi(bar) (kgf/cm2) | 80(5.5)(5.6) | 90(6.2)(6.3) | 100(6.9)(7) |
| Air consumption | ft3/cycle(ltr/cycle) | .011(.3) | .015(.4) | .018(.5) |
Air compressor size formula
Amount of air required
= number of Nailers
× average nails driven each minute per Nailer
× air consumption at given air pressure
× safety factor (always 1.2)
Example: 3 Nailers operating at 100 psi driving 30 nails per minute
Amount of air required
$$ = 3 \times 3 0 \times . 0 1 8 (. 5) \times 1. 2 $$
= 1.9 CFM (ft 3 / ) (94 ltr/min)
After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor providing 1.9 CFM of air that is required.
LUBRICATION
It is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant.
Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the Nailer to malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used. Keep the lubricator filled with metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant.
Of a lubricator is not available, supply 5 - 10 drops of metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer twice a day.
COLD WEATHER CARE
Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning the work.
Of the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Nailer to warm up before use.
① Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bar kgf/cm²).
② Remove all nails from the Nailer.
③ Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Nailer.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to free fi re the Nailer.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part. 11
CAUTION
Do not free-fi re the Nailer at high pressure.
TESTING THE NAILER
DANGER
Operators and others in workar wear safety glappes with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifi cations.
