1. Disconnect the
air supply from
the nailer to add
lubricant.

2. Turn the nailer
so the air inlet is
facing up. Place
4-5 drops of 30
W non­detergent oil
into air inlet.
Do not use
detergent oils,
oil additives, or air tool oils. Air tool
oils contain solvents which will
damage the nailer's internal
components.

3. After adding
oil, run nailer
briefly. Wipe
off any excess
oil from the
cap exhaust.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

Please refer to Airtool Setup
(IN170102AV) for system hookup
instructions.

1. The air
compressor
must be able
to maintain a
minimum of
60 psi when
the nailer is
being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power
and inconsistent driving.

2. An oiler can be used
to provide oil
circulation through
the nailer. A filter
can be used to
remove liquid and
solid impurities which
can rust or “gum up”
internal parts of the nailer.

3. Use 3/8 inch
air hoses with
a minimum
working
pressure of
150 psi. Use 1/2 inch air hoses for 50
foot run or longer. For better
performance, install a 3/8 inch quick
plug (1/4 inch NPT threads) with an
inside diameter of .315 inch (8mm)
on the nailer and a 3/8 inch quick
coupler on the air hose.

4. Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 -125 psi. A pressure
regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the nailer
between 60 and 100 psi.

● Always check
that the Work
Contact
Element (WCE)
is operating
properly. A
fastener could
accidentally be
driven if the WCE is not working
properly. Personal injury may occur
(See "Checking the Work Contact
Element" Section).

● Disconnect air supply and release
tension from the pusher before
attempting to clear jams because
tools can be ejected from the front
of the tool. Personal injury may
occur.

Notice

indicates
important information, that if not
followed, MAY cause damage to
equipment.

● Avoid using the tool when the

magazine is empty. Accelerated
wear on the tool may occur.

● Clean and check all air supply hoses

and fittings before connecting the
tool to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fittings.
Tool performance or durability may
be reduced.

● Air compressors providing air to the

tool should follow the requirements
established by the American
National Standards Institute
Standard B19.3-1991; Safety
Standard for Compressors for
Process Industries. Contact your air
compressor manufacturer for
information.

Operating The Nailer

Read this manual and understand all
safety warnings and instructions before
operating the nailer.

LUBRICATION

This nailer requires lubrication before
using the nailer for the first time and
before each use. If an inline oiler is
used, manual lubrication through the
air inlet is not required on a daily basis.

The work

surface
can become damaged by excessive
lubrication. Proper lubrication is the
owner’s responsibility. Failure to
lubricate the nailer properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the
nailer and void the warranty.

General Safety
Information (Continued)

● Never carry the
tool by the air
hose or pull the
hose to move the
tool or a
compressor. Keep
hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace
any hose that is damaged, weak or
worn. Personal injury or tool
damage could occur.

● Always assume the tool contains
fasteners. Respect the tool as a
working implement; no horseplay.
Always keep others at a safe
distance from the work area in case
of accidental discharge of fasteners.
Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it
contains fasteners or not. Accidental
triggering of the tool could result in
death or serious personal injury.

● Do not drive a
fastener on top
of other
fasteners. The
fastener could
glance and cause
death or a serious
puncture wound.

● Do not operate
or allow anyone
else to operate
the tool if any
warnings or
warning labels
are not legible.
Warnings or warning labels are
located on the tool magazine and
body.

● Do not drop or throw the tool.
Dropping or throwing the tool can
result in damage that will make the
tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool
has been dropped or thrown,
examine the tool closely for bent,
cracked or broken parts and air
leaks. STOP and repair before using
or serious injury could occur.

Caution

indicates
a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, MAY result in
minor or moderate injury.

● Do not make any modifications to the

tool without first obtaining written
approval from Campbell Hausfeld. Do
not use the tool if any shields or
guards are removed or altered. Do
not use the tool as a hammer.
Personal injury or tool
damage may occur.
