\"Hire<\/a><\/p>\n

Our ranges of cordless nail guns<\/a> for hire are from Hilti and Paslode.\u00a0 Using a cordless nail gun is a more efficient way than traditional hammering. \u00a0They give a more accurate and faster finish.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The nails are in strips like staples. They are loaded into the nail gun in various quantities.<\/p>\n

How To Use A Nail Gun<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Before you turn on the power, put safety goggles on and load the nail strip into the gun. Make sure you are using the correct size nails for the job you are doing.\u00a0 If the gun already has nails loaded, don\u2019t just assume that they are the right size.\u00a0 If you have to, unload the nail strip and check the size of the nails.<\/li>\n
  2. Turn on the power and do a few practice shots on a spare piece of wood. This allows you to get the feel of the gun and to test the amount of pressure needed on the trigger.<\/li>\n
  3. Place the tip of the gun against the surface you intend to nail.\u00a0 Hold the handle of the gun so that you can easily press the trigger.\u00a0 You should have the gun supported and be able to keep it in place when you fire it, as there will be a kickback.<\/li>\n
  4. Push the tip of the gun against the surface, pull the trigger and immediately let go. This insures that only one nail is fired at a time. Many people make the mistake of pulling the trigger twice, which fires a second nail right behind the first one.\u00a0 This can be very dangerous and wastes nails.<\/li>\n
  5. Pull the gun away from the surface. The nail head should be flush to the surface.<\/li>\n
  6. When the nail strip runs out, disconnect the gun from the power source before reloading with a new nail strip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
