How to Operate Your Finish Nailer or Brad Nailer Tool in Cold Conditions

Hi, this is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip I'll be talking about cold operation procedures. If you're operating your Brad Nailer in temperatures below freezing, there a few extra tings we need to go through. First of all make sure that your tanks in the air compressor have been drained. Next make sure that you try to keep your tool as warm as possible before you're going to use it. Make sure that all the fasteners have been removed from the tool. After that we're going to make sure that we've put about 5 to 7 drops of Nematic Tool Oil in our tool to keep it lubricated. Next we want to lower our air pressure to 80 PSI or less. After that we're going to load our nails back into our gun and reconnect our air hose. Next we want to discharge our tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber. Next we're going to adjust our air pressure to the correct pressure that it should be and we're going to use the tool as we would any other time.
