Background
The Craftsman Nailer 351.184240 is a tool designed for woodworking and construction. It uses 18 gauge brads, which can range from 1/2" to 2" in length. The nailer has a magazine capacity of 110 nails, and operates at a pressure of 60-100 PSI. With dimensions of 9" in length, 9 1/4" in height, and 2 1/2" in width, it weighs 2.6 lbs.
The body of the nailer is made from die-cast aluminum, and it features a textured grip. Other features include a sizable side-loading magazine with a quick-release latch, a safety mechanism that requires the contact trip to be pressed against the workpiece before the tool fires, a deflector that can be adjusted for exhaust, and a nosepiece that is tapered to improve visibility and reduce jamming. The nailer can be loaded by depressing the latch and sliding the magazine cover back, inserting nails with their heads facing upwards, and then sliding the magazine cover forward again. To fire the nails, the user must connect the nailer to an air supply regulated to 60-100 PSI, press the contact trip against the workpiece, and pull the trigger. The nailer can also be operated in a rapid fire mode by keeping the trigger depressed and bumping the contact trip against the workpiece to repeatedly fire nails. For maintenance, the user should add 5-6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet daily, keep the magazine and nose area clean, file any burrs on the ram tip, and check the contact trip safety mechanism regularly.
