This document serves as an operator's manual for a Tool Shop 1/3HP/2-Gallon Air Compressor (Item# AT01101, SKU# 207-1526) and an 18-Gauge Brad Nailer/Stapler (SKU# 207-1526). The manual provides essential information for safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of both devices.
Function Description:
The Tool Shop 1/3HP/2-Gallon Air Compressor is designed to compress and store air for various pneumatic tools. It features an electric motor that powers a pump to compress air, which is then stored in a 2-gallon tank. The compressor includes a pressure regulator to adjust the output air pressure to suit the specific tool being used, and gauges to monitor both regulated outlet pressure and tank pressure. A pressure relief valve is incorporated as a safety mechanism to prevent over-pressurization.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model No.: 207-1526
- Pump: Oil-free, direct drive, single stage
- Motor: 1/3 peak HP
- Voltage/Amps/Phase: 120/2/1
- Air Tank Capacity: 2 gallons
- Cut-in Pressure: 70 PSI
- Cut-out Pressure: 100 PSI
- CFM @ 40 PSI: 1.0
- CFM @ 90 PSI: 0.7
- Power Cord: SJT 18 AWG/72" length
- Extension Cord (Note): SJT 18 AWG/no longer than 30 feet. Avoid use if possible; if necessary, use a 3-wire cord with a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle.
Usage Features:
- ON/OFF Switch: Manually operates the compressor, allowing it to start or shut down automatically based on air demand when in the ON position. Must be set to OFF when not in use or before unplugging.
- Air Line Outlet: 1/4" NPT connection for air hoses.
- Regulated Pressure Gauge: Displays the adjustable outlet pressure.
- Tank Pressure Gauge: Shows the stored air pressure in the tank; not adjustable by the operator.
- Air Pressure Regulator: Knob to adjust line pressure clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease. Users are warned not to exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.
- Pressure Relief Valve: Automatically opens to relieve pressure if the system exceeds preset levels or can be manually pulled to release pressure.
- Air Tank Drain Valve: Used to remove condensed moisture from the air tank after shutdown.
- Thermal Overload Protector: Automatically shuts down the motor if it overheats and restarts when cooled.
- Grounding: The product is designed for a nominal 120-volt circuit and requires a grounded outlet with a 3-blade grounding plug.
Maintenance Features:
- Daily Startup: Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF, close tank drain valve, plug in, then turn ON. Adjust regulator if present.
- Shutdown: Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF, unplug, reduce tank pressure via outlet hose or relief valve, and drain moisture from the tank via the drain valve.
- Daily Maintenance:
- Drain the tank: Essential at the end of every workday to prevent corrosion. Wear protective goggles.
- Check the relief valve: Pull the ring daily to ensure proper operation and clear obstructions.
- Regular Checks (N/A for specific interval, but recommended):
- Test for leakage: Check all connections for tightness. Use soapy water to identify leaks; repair or replace faulty components.
- Storage: Before long-term storage, clean dust and debris, disconnect power, release all tank pressure, drain moisture, and cover the unit.
- Troubleshooting Chart: Provides solutions for common issues such as low pressure, air leaks, motor not running, and pressure relief valve opening.
Function Description:
The Tool Shop 18-Gauge Brad Nailer/Stapler is a pneumatic fastening tool designed to drive 18-gauge brads and staples. It operates by connecting to an air compressor, using compressed air to drive fasteners into various materials. The tool features a magazine for loading fasteners, a trigger for activation, and a depth adjustment mechanism to control the fastening depth.
Important Technical Specifications:
- SKU: 207-1526
- Nail Capacity: 100 pcs (Brads), 100 pcs (Staplers)
- Nail Length:
- Brads: 5/8 in. - 1-1/4 in. (15-32 mm)
- Staplers: 5/8 in. - 1-1/4 in. (16-32 mm)
- Operation Pressure: 70-110 PSI (4.8 - 7.5 bar)
- Air Inlet: 1/4 in. N.P.T.
- Dimension: 2.16 in. x 9.65 in. x 8.46 in. (55 x 245 x 215 mm)
- Weight: 2.87 lbs.
- Compatible Fasteners: 18 GA Brad (1.25 x 1.00 mm, 0.050 x 0.041 in), 18 GA Stapler (1.25 x 1.00 mm, 0.050 x 0.041 in).
Usage Features:
- Loading Fasteners:
- Press the release switch on the movable magazine and slide it to the open position.
- Place a full stick (up to 100) of desired fasteners onto the fixed magazine.
- Push the movable magazine forward until it latches securely.
- Air Supply Connection:
- Connect to an air compressor, ensuring hands and body are away from the discharge area.
- A filter regulator and lubricator (not included) are recommended.
- Set air pressure between 70-110 PSI; never exceed 120 PSI.
- Testing Operation: Test the drive depth on a sample piece of wood. Adjust the air pressure regulator as needed to achieve the correct fastening depth, ensuring it does not exceed 120 PSI.
- Safety Features: Includes an air deflector, cylinder cover, gun body, drive guide, and magazine. Users are instructed to wear safety glasses/face shield and ear protection.
Maintenance Features:
- Lubrication: If an in-line automatic oiler is not used, apply 2 to 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil (not included) into the air inlet before each workday or after 2 hours of continuous use.
- Inspection: Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism regularly to ensure they are safe and functional. Check for loose, missing, binding, or sticking parts.
- Storing: Clean and lightly lubricate the nail gun before storing it in a dry, safe place, out of reach of children.
- Troubleshooting Chart: Provides solutions for problems such as air leaks, fasteners driving too deep, tool not operating well, skipping fasteners, and tool jams. It emphasizes that only qualified personnel should perform repairs and that the tool should be disconnected from the air supply before any maintenance or adjustment. When replacing O-rings or cylinders, lubricate with air tool oil.
Both manuals stress the importance of reading and following all safety rules and operating instructions to prevent serious personal injury and equipment problems. They also provide a toll-free helpline and email for customer service and support.
