Figure 67. Pneumatic nail driver.
154. Operation
a. Remove the plug from the end of the nail driver barrel and install the retainer set and appropriate nail driver
attachment.
b. Pour a liberal quantity of oil (par. 155a) into the air connection in the nail driver handle.
c. Blow out the air hose and connect it to the air connection.
d. Hold the nail driver with the nail set pressed firmly against a solid object. Depress the trigger slightly so that the
nail driver operates at slow speed for a few moments. This will insure even distribution of oil to all internal working parts.
e. When starting spikes with the driver, proceed carefully and at slow speed until the spike has a firm hold. Then
drive it in the rest of the way.
