Disconnect air supply in case a nail or stapler is jammed.

Pull the grease shaft and pull the upper part of the nailer
nose open the magazine in the front. Remove jammed
nails or staples and close the front cover.

Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others and
connect back to the hose.

LUBRICATION

An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) as it increases tool
life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to
the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil
should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time
(overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time.
The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
 It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator

filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.

 Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow

or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.

IMPORTANT!!!

If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then
pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after
every two hours of use. This must be done directly along the male coupler or the screw
(OIL) provided for the purpose on the side of the t

ool’s housing.

Automatic lubrication is also possible using the supplied mini oiler that you have to install
between the threaded connector of the tool and the male coupler. Make sure that the oiler
is always filled with suitable oil.
