OPERATIONS
If you have not read the safety
instructions 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
connects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer, do these steps:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. Make sure your 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
2.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your
free hand is securing the workpiece in
the location that the nail deflects.

Figure 2. Example of nail deflection.
3. Hold the nail firmly in place with one
hand as if using a regular hammer.
4. Place the tip of the palm nailer over
the end of the nail. When the ram pin
touches the nail head, the nailer will
automatically begin to hammer the
nail into the workpiece.
5. Hold the nailer in place until the
sliding depth guide is fully depressed.
Note: You can stop the nailer at any
time by simply lifting it away from
the nail. This is useful if you do not
want to countersink the nail into the
workpiece.
If allowed to continue until it stops,
the nailer will countersink the nail
to an approximate depth of 2mm or
5 ⁄
64
".
6. When the nail is fully hammered
into the workpiece, the nailer will
automatically stop.
Operating this nailer can propel
objects into the air, causing immediate
eye damage. To protect yourself,
always wear ANSI approved safety
glasses or goggles when operating this
equipment.
