Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before driving fasteners into walls, floors, or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Hearing protection. Wear ear protection when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss. Safety glasses To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the work area must wear approved safety glasses conforming to ANSI Z87.1 specifications with permanently attached, rigid side shields. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 70 to 90 psi. Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi. Air hose. Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal injury could result. Couplings. Connect tool to the air supply hose with 1/4 NPT couplings that remove all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected. Be aware of air hoses and their connections. Don t trip over hoses. Make sure all connections are tight. Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing any disassembly, maintenance, loading fasteners, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Before each use, make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened. Check for damaged parts. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Replacement parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us. Be sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply before loading the fasteners. Take care on re-connection: fasteners may be fired accidentally during connection. The fastener driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. Assume the tool contains fasteners at all times. Always keep it pointed away from yourself and others. No horseplay. Respect the tool as having lethal potential. Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed. The tool may unintentionally fire a fastener. Do not depress the trigger unless the nosepiece is directed at the worksurface or when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on or touching the trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted fastener. 4

5 Fire fasteners into work surface only and never into materials too hard to penetrate Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is allowed to recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an unwanted fastener will be fired.! WARNING Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. Do not drive fasteners too close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. The warnings, cautions, and instructions detailed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that occur. It must be understood by the operator that COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS that cannot be built into this product, but MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR. 5

7 OPERATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS! WARNING BE SURE THAT YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES THAT ACCOMPANY THIS MANUAL. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR BEST USE AND MAXIMUM USER SATISFACTION. The Vulcan Model is a light duty, coil fed, pneumatic nailer, using compressed air as a power source. It is designed to install 7/8 1-3/4, 11 ga. (0.120 ) flat, full round-head roofing coil nails in 120 nail, 15 degree wire-collated rolls. The tool is made with a magnesium alloy body and cylinder cap to provide light weight while maintaining high strength and rigidity. POWER SOURCE This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between psi (max. 120 psi). The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible. (Within 15 ft. is ideal). All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An airline filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available: place 5 or 6 drops of oil into the tool s air inlet at the beginning of each workday. Nailer Air hose Regulator Air Supply Oiler Filter! WARNING All line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must meet 150% of the maximum system pressure. Please try to use a hose of ID 3/8 connecting nailer with compressor. Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential pressure greater than 180 psi. Disconnect your air line from your nailer using the quick connect on the air hose. Do not unscrew the air inlet from the nailer with your air hose connected. Disconnect the tool from the air supply before loading fasteners, performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing it to another person. 7

9 8. Re-connect the tool to the air supply, being careful to aim the nosepiece in a safe direction, and careful to avoid touching the trigger or the safety mechanism. This is to prevent harm from fasteners accidentally discharging should the fastener driving mechanism cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. 9. The tool is ready to operate. USING THE TOOL This tool can be fired in two different ways: 1. Position the nose of the tool onto the work surface, push forward on the tool to depress the safety, and squeeze the trigger to fire a nail. This sequential method provides the most accurate fastener placement. 2. Squeeze and hold the trigger while pushing the nose of the tool against the work surface. The tool will fire a nail every time the safety is depressed. This bump fire method allows very fast, repetitive fastener placement.! CAUTION = Remove finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners. = Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool will fire a fastener if the safety is bumped. = Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times. = Never attempt to drive nails into materials too hard to penetrate, or at too steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury. = Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. = Clean and inspect the 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. FASTENER DEPTH The depth to which a nail is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob (fig.6), reachable through the window in the front of the clear plastic guard. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to maximum. Test fire a nail into a sample of the material you will be working on and check depth. If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise (upward) to increase the depth, counterclockwise (downward) to decrease it. Test fire another nail and check depth again. Adjust as necessary. Fig.6 9

10 CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER! CAUTION Disconnect the tool from the air supply. 1. Open the feeder cover and the magazine cover. 2. Remove any remaining fasteners from the nailer. 3. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost position. 4. Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers. 5. Follow instructions in LOADING FASTENERS to reload fasteners.! CAUTION = Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times. = Always connect the tool to air supply before loading fasteners. = Do not load fasteners with safety or trigger depressed. = Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing or operating this tool. = Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair. MAINTENANCE! CAUTION Disconnect the tool from the air supply before cleaning and inspecting the tool. Correct all problems before operating. CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY = Add pneumatic tool oil into the oiler regularly to assure that all moving. Frequent, but not excessive lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will the inside parts. An automatic oiler is recommended, but 5 to 6 drops of oil may be added manually into the tool s air intake at the male quick-connect fitting (F, fig.1) at the beginning of each workday and after about every hour of continuous use. Only a few drops at a time are necessary. More than this will pool inside the tool and be expelled from the tool s exhaust during firing. USE ONLY PNEUMATIC TOOL OIL. Do not use detergent oil or oil with other additives, as these can cause accelerated wear on the seals. = Check the filter of the compressor weekly. Open drain cock to drain all water and contaminants out of the air tank. = Wipe the tool clean. = Blow the tool clean using high compressed air, and then use non-flammable cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool if necessary. = Do not soak tool in cleaning solutions.
