Overview

The document describes the Grip-Rite GRTMP16 Mini Air Nailer, an air-powered fastening tool designed for driving nails. This operator's manual and parts list provides comprehensive information on the tool's specifications, safety guidelines, operation, maintenance, and warranty.

Function Description:

The Grip-Rite GRTMP16 Mini Air Nailer is a pneumatic fastening tool that automatically actuates when its nose is pressed against a work surface. It delivers multiple hammer blows until the nail is fully driven or the tool is lifted off the work surface. The tool is designed for driving nails up to 16d, making it suitable for various fastening applications, including securing joist hangers or other metal connectors. Its compact size and hand-driven nail type make it versatile for precise nail placement.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model: GRTMP16
  • Fastener Length: Nails up to 16d
  • Fastener Head Diameter: 5/16" (8 mm)
  • Nail Type: Hand Driven
  • Maximum Air Pressure: 110 psi (7.6 bars)
  • Minimum Air Pressure: 60 psi (4 bars)
  • Tool Weight: 1 lbs. (.45 kg)
  • Tool Length: 4" (101.6 mm)
  • Tool Height: 2.75" (69.9 mm)
  • Tool Width: 2.19" (55.6 mm)
  • Trigger Type: AUTO
  • Air Connection: Quick Connect
  • Lubrication: 10W Air Tool Oil (Provided)

Usage Features:

The GRTMP16 Mini Air Nailer is designed for ease of use and precision.

  • Nail Guide: Features a narrow profile design for accurate nail placement.
  • Magnetic Nail Holder: Helps keep the nail in place while positioning the nailer for driving.
  • Quick-Connect Air Coupling: Allows for quick connection to an air hose.
  • Automatic Actuation: The tool begins driving when the nose is pressed against the workpiece, continuing until the nail is fully driven or the tool is lifted.
  • Adjustable Air Pressure: Users can increase air pressure for harder materials and reduce it for softer materials, optimizing tool and part life by using the lowest necessary air pressure.
  • Ergonomic Design: The tool body acts as a handgrip, allowing for secure handling.
  • Included Accessories: Comes with a Metric Hex Wrench for tightening screws and Air Tool Oil for lubrication.

Operation Steps:

  1. Connect the tool to an air supply using the quick-connect coupling.
  2. Insert the nail (head first) into the guide. Avoid pressing the nail forcefully into the guide to prevent unintentional operation. The magnetic holder assists in keeping the nail in place.
  3. Hold the tool securely, using the housing as a handgrip. Do not depress the tool nose until it is in the desired driving position.
  4. Position the nail on the workpiece, ensuring the nail point is centered, especially when securing joist hangers or metal connectors.
  5. Press the tool firmly to begin driving the nail and continue pushing until the nail is fully driven.
  6. Lift the tool off the work surface once the nail is driven.
  7. Reload the nailer and repeat the process for subsequent nails.
  8. Disconnect the tool from the air supply after completing nailing tasks.

Safety Instructions:

The manual emphasizes several critical safety instructions:

  • Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear safety glasses with side shields (ANSI Z87.1 compliant) and hearing protection.
  • Air Supply: Use clean, dry, regulated compressed air from a properly operating air compressor. Never operate with oxygen or other bottled gases. Do not exceed 110 psi (7.6 bars) maximum operating pressure and never connect to an air supply exceeding 180 psi (12.4 bars). Use an air hose rated for 180 psi (12.4 bars) or greater.
  • Tool Handling: Do not depress the tool nose when loading fasteners. Avoid driving fasteners into knots, other fasteners, workpiece edges, or brittle materials. Keep hands and body parts away from the fastening area. Do not overreach or work on unstable footing.
  • Tool Condition: Do not operate if the tool's controls are modified or malfunctioning, or if the tool malfunctions or leaks air.
  • Maintenance: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing any maintenance, clearing jams, or reloading. Never leave a pressurized tool unattended.
  • Fasteners: Only use the correct fasteners for the tool.
  • Modifications: Do not modify the tool.
  • Storage: Keep tools out of the reach of children.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the tool's longevity and performance.

  • Lubrication: Disconnect the tool from the air supply. Apply three drops of air tool oil (provided) into the air inlet before each use and after every 1000 fasteners driven. Use winter-grade air tool oil in cold weather to prevent frost. Avoid other lubricants that may harm o-rings and components.
  • Cleaning: Disconnect the tool from the air supply. Brush off the tool using a parts cleaning brush or a clean rag.
  • Daily Inspection:
    • Check for broken, damaged, or excessively worn parts and repair or replace as needed.
    • Check for air leaks at the cap and nose. Discontinue use and contact a dealer if leaks persist after tightening.
    • Ensure all screws are tightened securely.

Troubleshooting:

The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues:

  • Fasteners not driving completely: Increase air pressure (do not exceed 110 psi/7.6 bars) and add 2-3 drops of air tool oil to the inlet. If the problem persists, the driver blade may be worn or broken, requiring replacement by a dealer.
  • Tool leaks air: Check for the source of the leak, tighten fittings and screws. Discontinue using the tool and contact a dealer if leaks persist after tightening.

Warranty Information:

The Grip-Rite pneumatic tool/compressor warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials for one year from the original purchase date, excluding rubber o-rings, bumpers, seals, driver blades, dipsticks, and air filters. The warranty is void if the tool is misused, abused, improperly maintained, altered, repaired by unauthorized entities, used with non-Grip-Rite parts or fasteners, physically damaged by non-approved fasteners, or inadequately packaged for shipping. Primesource is not liable for indirect, accidental, or consequential damages.
