Loading the Tool
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION, BEFORE LOADING:
• Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
• Release the trigger.
• Detach the air supply.
• Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
1. Pull Feeder Shoe all the way to the rear of Magazine.
2. Orient a strip of nails with the tips down and
drop the strip of nails into Magazine.
3. When loading nails, make sure the
nails are correct angle for nailer.
4. Allow Feeder Shoe to slide forward
against strip of nails.
General Operating Instructions
1. Before each use, test the tool as
directed in the prior section.
2. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few
drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline
connection before use. Add a few drops
more after each hour of continual use.
3. Attach the Nailer to the air supply at the air inlet.
Start your compressor and check the pressure
making sure it is set at the recommended 70-120
PSI and not to go over the maximum 120 PSI.
4. Adjust Exhaust Cover to direct
as desired.
5. To fire a nail, place the nose of the Nailer on the
workpiece. The Nailer should not fire if the Safety
is not depressed. Once the Safety is depressed,
gently and briefly squeeze the Trigger once to
fire one nail. Release the Trigger. Do not fire
repeatedly; nails could bounce off on one another,
damaging the workpiece or causing personal injury.
6. If nails are not being driven flush,
turn the Depth Knob to the left.
7. Move the Nailer to another spot on the
workpiece and squeeze the Trigger again to fire
another nail. Continue firing nails as needed.
8. If the tool requires more force to accomplish
the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL OR
ACCESSORY FAILURE:
Do not exceed the tool’s
maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force
at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow,
then a larger tool may be required.
9. After use, to prevent accidents:
a.
Release the trigger.
b. Detach the air supply.
c. Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap
wood to ensure that it is disconnected
and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
d. Release the trigger again.
e. Clean external surfaces with clean, dry cloth.
f. Store indoors out of children’s reach.
