The CARPENTER 0° Coil Siding Nailer, Model No. CCN65Z, is an air-powered tool designed for driving 0° 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" plastic collated coil nails. It is a lightweight and durable tool, built to withstand various elements and provide consistently accurate results over its lifespan. This nailer is ideal for a variety of construction projects, including the installation of asphalt roofing shingles and insulation boards.
Function Description:
The CARPENTER CCN65Z is a pneumatic coil siding nailer that uses compressed air to drive nails into a workpiece. It features a high-capacity side-load magazine, allowing for efficient and continuous operation. The tool is equipped with a tool-less depth adjustment mechanism, which simplifies the process of setting the desired nail depth. The nailer supports both intermittent operation (trigger fire) and continuous operation (push lever fire), providing flexibility for different nailing tasks.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Operating Pressure: 70-115 psi (4.8-7.9 bar, 5-8.5 kgf/cm²). The recommended operating pressure is 70-120 psi (4.9-8.3 bar, 5-8.5 kgf/cm²), adjustable based on nail length and workpiece hardness.
- Dimensions (LHW): 11.1" (282mm) * 12.44" (316mm) * 5.71" (145mm).
- Net Weight: 5.0 lbs (2.3 kg).
- Nail Capacity: 300 nails (1 coil).
- Fastener Details: 0° 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" Plastic Collated Coil Nails. The acceptable nail head diameter is Ø5.4mm-Ø5.9mm (0.212"-0.232"), and the shank diameter is Ø2.3mm-Ø2.5mm (0.092"-0.099").
- Air Consumption: 0.49 ft³/cycle at 90 psi (1.4 ltr/cycle at 6.9 bar or 7 kgf/cm²).
- Air Inlet: 3/8 NPT Thread.
- Driving Power: 440 in./lbs at 90 psi.
- Compatible Compressor: Requires a compressor capable of supplying a minimal air delivery of 4.7 CFM @ 90 PSI for continuous operation.
Usage Features:
- Safety Guidelines: Emphasizes the importance of wearing eye and hearing protection, not using oxygen or combustible gases, avoiding flammable environments, and keeping hands and body parts away from the firing head. Users are warned against pointing the nailer at themselves or others and are advised to always assume the nailer contains fasteners.
- Testing the Nailer: Before use, the nailer should be tested by disconnecting the air hose and removing all nails. Checks include ensuring smooth movement of the push lever and trigger, no air leaks at 70 psi, and proper operation of the trigger and push lever mechanisms.
- Adjusting Air Pressure: The air pressure can be adjusted between 70-120 psi to suit the length of nails and the hardness of the workpiece. Using the lowest effective pressure is recommended to prevent over-stressing the nailer.
- Loading Nails: Nails are loaded into the side-load magazine by pressing a knob, swinging the nail guide open, and inserting the nail coil. The nail holder's position can be adjusted based on nail length to ensure smooth feeding.
- Nailer Operation Methods:
- Intermittent Operation (Trigger Fire): Position the nail outlet on the workpiece, depress the push lever firmly, pull the trigger to drive a nail, and then release the trigger.
- Continuous Operation (Push Lever Fire): Pull the trigger with the nailer off the workpiece, then depress the push lever against the workpiece with a bouncing motion to drive nails.
- Adjusting Nailing Depth: The nailing depth can be adjusted by turning the adjuster. If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the shallow side; if too shallow, turn to the deep side. Adjustments are made in half-turn increments.
- Changing Exhaust Direction: The direction of the exhaust vent can be changed by turning the top cover.
- Cutting Off the Sheet: When using sheet collated nails, the output sheet can be torn off in the direction of the arrow.
- Using the Nose Cap: An accessory nose cap can be attached to the push lever to protect the workpiece surface from scratches or markings. Note that the nose cap may reduce nailing depth, requiring re-adjustment.
- Optional Sequential Trip Mechanism (Single Shot): Available for precision fastener placement, requiring the push lever to be depressed before pulling the trigger, and then releasing both after each nail. This mechanism may reduce the risk of accidental firing but can also reduce the speed of operation compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.
Maintenance Features:
- Daily Maintenance: Drain the air line filter daily to prevent moisture and dirt accumulation. Keep the lubricator filled.
- Cleaning: Clean the filter element by blowing air through it in the opposite direction of normal flow. Clean the magazine and feeder mechanism daily to prevent jams.
- Lubrication: Lubricate the nailer with 2-3 drops of non-detergent air tool lubricating oil into the air plug before each use (if a filter-regulator-lubricator is not installed) and after nailing. Lubricate the push lever sliding part, knob sliding part, and feeding surfaces of the nose and nail guide.
- Clearing Jams: Disconnect the air hose and remove all nails. Open the nail guide, insert a rod into the outlet, and tap with a hammer to remove the jammed nail. Deformed collated nails should be cut with nippers.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the push lever, feeders, nail stopper, and nail guide for smooth operation. Ensure all screws are tightened.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, apply a thin coat of lubricant to steel parts to prevent rust. Store the nailer in a warm, dry place, out of reach of children.
- Air Compressor Maintenance: Open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moisture.
- Service and Repairs: Only service personnel trained by Carpenter, distributor, or employer should repair the nailer, using only supplied or recommended parts.
- Warning Label: Change the warning label if it is missing or damaged.
