H7665 21° Round Head Framing Nailer -9 -
Operating
If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate
the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place five
to six drops of the included oil into the
quick connect fitting where the nailer con-
nects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. To test for proper nail penetration, hold
the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
5. Pull the trigger.
— If the nail drove into the wood far
enough, continue with your intended
operations.
— If the nail either went too far or not
far enough, then go to the Adjusting
Depth subsection on the next page.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of
deflection.
Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities, knots or foreign objects
inside the wood cause the nail to
change its path, resulting in the
nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in
Figure 5.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.
