How To Adjuest Air Press On Ridgid R350che

setting the AIR pressure The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size of the nail and the workpiece material. Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job. Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent results. It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool. removing nails from the tool See Figure 12. =550; Disconnect the tool from the air supply. =550; =516;To remove a strip of nails from the tool, press the release button on the pusher. When released, the pusher will slide forward. NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher. drivE depth ADJUSTMENT See Figure 10. The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application. To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool. =550; Disconnect the tool from the air supply. =550; Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving depth. =550; Reconnect the tool to the air supply. =550; Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set. =550; Press down on the nail stop tab near the end of the magazine and slide the nails over the tab. =550; Remove the nail strip from the tool. CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER See Figure 13. If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while clearing the jam. =550; Disconnect the tool from the air supply. =550; =505;Remove fasteners from the tool. =550; Insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the driving mechanism. =550; Tap the screwdriver gently with a hammer. The inserted screwdriver should push the driver blade back, freeing the nail jam. =550; Remove the bent nail, using needle-nose pliers if necessary. If needed, the jam-clearing slide can be used to release the nail. To use the jam-clearing slide: =550; Disconnect the tool from the air supply. =550; =505;Remove fasteners from the tool. =550; Loosen the wing screw by turning it counterclockwise. =550; Remove the wing screw, taking care not to lose the small concave washer. =550; Pull back the jam-clearing slide to remove jammed or bent nails. =550; Push the jam-clearing slide back into place, aligning the holes for the wing screw with the holes in the slide. =550; Reinstall the concave washer as shown. =550; Retighten the wing screw, making sure it is secure.
