2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE The new Model NR 90AC3 strip nailer is a minor-changed version of the current Model NR 90AC2. Owing to the modification of the ANSI standard, the current Model NR 90AC2 has gone out of production since the 1st of May 2003.
5-2. Explanation of the Nailing Action To meet the requirements of "ANSI SNT-101-2002", the Model NR 90AC3 is equipped with a nailing operation switching device at the valve portion as shown in the figures below. Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM (SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM) or CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the work to be performed.
5-3. Nail Selection The Model NR 90AC3 utilizes round-head nails collated with plastic resin into bands of 25 to 30 pieces. Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. CAUTION: Ensure that nails are as specified in Fig. 1. Other nails will cause clogging of nails and subsequent damage to the nailer.
Full sequential actuation mechanism kit (Sequential trip mechanism kit) is provided as an optional accessory for the Model NR 90AC3. By using this optional accessory, a nail is driven by pressing the pushing lever first against a workpiece and then pulling the trigger, and no nail is driven when pulling the trigger first and then pressing the pushing lever against a workpiece (single actuation).
Note: The Model NR 90AC3 is equipped with a pushing lever stopper as an idling protector. The Pushing Lever Stopper [74] is placed over Pushing Lever (B) [33] to prevent Pushing Lever (B) [33] from being pushed up when no nail is loaded in the magazine or the number of nails remained in the magazine is five or less (depending on the types of nails).
7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model NR 90AC3 Nailer by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Warning Label attached to each tool.
7-3. Related Laws and Regulations As nailers and staplers are designed to instantaneously drive nails and staples, there is an ever-present danger of misfiring and subsequent possible serious injury. Accordingly, close attention in handling is absolutely necessary at all times. Carefully ensure that the customer is fully aware of the precautions listed in the Handling Instructions provided with each unit.
Output section, control valve section, driving section and magazine section. Although the basic construction of the Model NR 90AC3 is the same as that of the Model NR 90AC2 and interchangeable components are used as much as possible, the Model NR 90AC3 is provided with the single actuation (single sequential actuation)/contact actuation mechanisms in order to correspond to the modification of the ANSI standard.
90AC2 and all the parts of the driving section and the magazine section are interchangeable with those of the Model NR 90AC2. The parts that are newly designed, changed, or added for the Model NR 90AC3 and not interchangeable with those of the Model NR 90AC2 are described in detail.
