Equipping the Workshop Shed - Using an Air Nailer
There are two basic types of Air Nailers available that can be used in the workshop shed, the first type being the stick style. This type uses a strip of nails held together with paper, plastic or thin wire. The strip is loaded in the nail gun magazine. The strips vary in length from 20 - 40 nails. The other type of nail gun is the coil style. This style uses wire joined flexible strings of nails that are loaded into a round magazine on the gun. The magazine rolls the nails so as many as 300 nails can be loaded at one time. There are many types of Air Nailer models. There are designs that are for use in closed-in spaces and some that are designed for powerful construction projects. For the home workshop Finish Nailers are the most appropriate. They are light weight and used for cabinets, mouldings, furniture and trim.
Here are a few easy steps to follow when using your air nailer.
- Make sure you have the right size gun for the project size. You do not want to be shooting spikes where brads are required.
- A certain air pressure is recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much pressure is not going to make the gun work better or faster or safer.
- Protection for your eyes should always be worn. A nail not driven properly can bounce off the work piece and hit you in the eye. Ear mufflers or ear plug protection should be worn as well.
- Understanding and using the tool properly is essential. Read the manual that came with the tool when you first purchased it.
- Take your time. Accidents happen when you try to hurry.
- Using the trigger lock should never be attempted. Statistics show that more accidents happen when the trigger is locked than for any other reason. Nails tend to ricochet when the tip of the nailer does not make the proper contact with the work piece.
- The gun is made to accommodate a specific size nail so it is better not to try to use a size not made for the tool.
An Air Nailer is a great tool to own and will come in handy for tons of projects but be sure you know how to use it properly as it also can be a dangerous tool if you do not know how to use it.
