Brad Nailer - 18 Ga (20022526) In Stock Now

About:

The most popular sort of nail gun is the pneumatic nailer. In these machin­es, the hammering force comes from compressed air, typically generated by a separate air compressor. A pneumatic nailer uses the same sort of hammer as a solenoid nailer: It has a sliding piston that drives a long blade. When the air pressure above the piston head is greater than below it, the piston is forced downward. When the air pressure below the piston is greater than above it, the piston stays up. The trigger mechanism serves to channel the flow of compressed air to shift this balance.

Some nail guns can launch nails at 1,400 feet per second.

Pneumatic nail guns work very well, even at driving thick nails through hard material.

Each gun is specifically designed to accept and use specific thickness and lengths of nails.

Operation:

Using a nail gun is a simple and straight-forward process. However, a certain order is typically recommended for both safety and efficiency. Here's the basic process for using a nail gun: 

• Unplug the gun before you begin. This ensures you won't have any accidents when loading and adjusting your nail gun before a project. 

• Press the magazine release button and load nails into the chamber.  

• Plug the gun back into the air hose.

• Adjust the air pressure dial according to the density of the material surface. Very dense materials may require greater air pressure to fire a nail securely into place. 

• Twist the depth of drive knob if finer adjustments are needed for the desired nail depth.  

• Use a piece of scrap wood from your project to test the nail gun and check the depth. Make adjustments again as necessary.  

• Align the nail gun at a 90-degree angle to your work surface. 

• Locate the first area where you want to fire a nail and press down so the safety tip retracts. Squeeze the trigger to fire your first nail. 

Safety:

• Follow all manufacturer’s instructions when using a nail gun.

• Ensure the tool meets all applicable OSHA guarding standards.

• Wear safety glasses that provide a side shield.

• Never attempt to modify or circumvent a safety feature.

• Keep your fingers away from the trigger when not driving nails.

• Consider using a sequential gun that requires both the trigger and the nose of the gun to be depressed before firing.

• Always disconnect the gun before performing maintenance, moving to another work area or clearing jams.

• Position yourself and your free hand out of the line of fire, and watch out for co-workers behind the nailing surface. Never point a nail gun at someone.
