OPERATION
LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figures 6 - 7.

Connect the tool to the air supply.
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 tool’s
magazine is empty at the beginning of each work session,
before connecting to an air supply.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool.
The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction,
leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger
activated. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
 Push the latch to release and open the magazine.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, insert
a strip of nails into the magazine. Be sure the nails are
pointed downward as shown.
CORRECT NAIL POSITION

Nails should always be inserted with the points down-
ward, fitting into the nail track, or as close as possible to
the nail track.
 Nail heads must sit either on the top edge of a rib or inside
a track between two ribs.
 Nail heads should never lie on top of a rib without sitting
on the rib edge. Do not position nail heads in the center
of a rib.
 The strip of nails should not be centered in the magazine
or positioned at the top portion of the magazine.
 If the nail points will not sit inside the track without sitting
incorrectly on a rib, move the nail strip up slightly until
the heads sit on the top edge of a rib.
 To close the magazine, depress the latch and push the
magazine forward. Release the latch and make sure the
latch is securely locked into place before driving a nail.
