LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figures 3 - 4.
WARNING:
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the
tool is first connected to the air supply. Always
connect the tool to the air supply before loading
nails to prevent injury from unintended cycling.
Always make sure the nosepiece is empty at the
beginning of each work session, before connecting
to an air supply.
 Connect the tool to the air supply.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, feed
a nail into the nosepiece. Be sure the nails are pointed
downward and at the angle shown in figure 4.

OPERATION
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the
same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 50-55 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
