How Do You Use A Nailer Air Compressor?
Compressors provide the air which a pneumatic nailer needs to push a nail into the object to be nailed. Compressors can be used to provide compressed air to various pneumatic tools in addition to nail guns. The latest compressors have tiny tanks, so they can be very compact and light. The newest ones don’t need oil either, so they can be simple to maintain. Read the maximum allowable recommended pressure which will be marked on the nailer, or noted in the instruction manual. Make sure this pressure rating isn’t exceeded by the compressor. Inspect the air compressor for any damage. Drain the tanks of any moisture. Moisture is a by-product of air compressing. Verify the compressor is off. Holding the handle, tilt the compressor in the direction of the drain cock, so they are at the bottom of the tank. Turn the drain cock which will open the valve. Keep the compressor at an angle until all the moisture is drained. Check the tank pressure. It should be at zero pounds per square inch (PSI.)
