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 responsibil- ity. Failure to
lubricate the nailer properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the nailer
and void your warranty.
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.
REMOVING NO-MAR DECKING TIP
1. Disconnect air
supply from
nailer.
2. Remove all fasteners from magazine
(See UNLOADING THE
NAILER).
3. Remove no-mar tip retaining ring.
4. Pry nomar tip
away
from the
work
contact
element.
5. Replace
retaining
ring onto
no-mar
tip, then
store tip
in safe
place for future use.
INSTALLING NO-MAR DECKING TIP
1. Disconnect air
supply from
nailer.
2. Remove all fasteners from magazine
(See UNLOADING THE NAILER).
3. Remove retaining ring from no-mar
tip.
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
1. The air
compressor
must be able
to maintain a
minimum of 70
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” air
hoses with a
minimum
working
pressure of 150 psi. Use 1/2” air
hoses for 50’ run or longer. For
better performance, install a 3/8”
quick plug (1/4” NPT threads) with
an inside diameter of .315” (8mm)
on the nailer and a 3/8” 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 70 and 120 psi.
NO-MAR DECKING TIP
The no-mar decking tip is designed to
eliminate marks caused by the serrated
work contact element (WCE). The nomar tip may be removed if not
required (See REMOVING NO-MAR
DECKING TIP). Use tool in single cycle
mode (SEE OPERATIONAL MODES)
when no-mar tip is in place.

4. Carefully
place nomar tip
over the
end of
work

element.
Position
tip onto
WCE
making certain serrated gooves on
each piece are in line and fit snugly
together.
5. Position
retaining
ring on nomar tip and
press firmly
in place.
6. Check
that the
WCE and
trigger
move up
and down
freely
without
sticking or
binding.
Operational Modes
Always
know the
operational mode of the nailer before
using. Failure to know the operational
mode could result in death or serious
personal injury.
This stick framing nailer may be
operated in the “Single Cycle” or the
“Bottom Trip” mode. The nailer is
delivered in the single cycle mode. A
separate ‘red’ trigger for “Bottom
Trip” mode is included with tool as an
accessory.
SEQUENTIAL MODE
When the black trigger is installed,
nailer is in single cycle mode. This
method is recommended when precise
nail placement is required. Operation
in this mode requires trigger to be
pulled each time a nail is driven. Nailer
can be actuated by depressing the
Work Contact Element (WCE) against
work surface followed by pulling the
trigger.
The trigger must be released after each
fastener is driven to allow tool to reset.
Since the tool can only be actuated by
first removing the finger from the
trigger, this is considered to be a more
restrictive mode of operation, suitable
for less experienced users.
WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)
Check
the
operation of the Work Contact Element
(WCE) trip mechanism before each use.
The WCE must move freely without
binding through its entire travel
distance. The WCE spring must return
the WCE to its fully extended position
after being depressed. Do not operate
the nailer if the WCE trip mechanism is
not operating properly. Personal injury
may occur.
1. Disconnect
the air
supply
from the
nailer.
2. Remove all
nails from the
magazine
(see
Unloading
The Nailer).
3.
Make
sure the
trigger
and work
contact
element
(WCE)
move
freely up
and
down without sticking or binding.
4. Reconnect
air supply to
the nailer.
5. Depress the
Work
Contact
Element
(WCE)
against the
work surface
without
pulling the
trigger. The
nailer MUST NOT OPERATE. Do not
use the tool if it operates without
pulling the trigger. Personal injury
may result.
BUMP MODE
When the red trigger is installed, the
nailer is in bottom trip mode. This
method is recommended when less
precise nail placement is required.
Operation in this mode requires trigger
to be depressed with nailer off of the
work surface. Then, the nose of the
nailer is tapped against the work
surface causing a nail to be driven.
Each time the Work Contact Element is
depressed, a nail is driven into the work
surface. Extreme care should be taken
because a nail will be driven when the
WCE is pressed against any surface.
Since the tool can be actuated without
removing the finger from the trigger,
this is considered to be a less restrictive
mode, suitable for more experienced
users.
MODE CONVERSION
To convert the tool from one mode to
the other:
1. Remove o-ring on the side of
trigger pin.
2. Remove trigger pin, trigger, and
trigger spring.
3. Switch out only the trigger.
4. Replace trigger spring, trigger,
trigger pin, and o-ring.
Do not attempt to modify the trigger
components in any manner and do not
attempt to use any other trigger
components other than those intended
for this tool.
Contact your Campbell Hausfeld
representative if you have any
questions.

LOADING THE NAILER
1. Always
connect
the tool to
the air
supply
before
loading
fasteners.
2. Pull nail
pusher
mechanism
back until
pusher
engages
with
magazine latch.
3. Load strips of fasteners into the
magazine slot. Make sure that the
nails are placed into tool at the
proper orientation.
4. Squeeze
the pusher
and the
latch
together to
unlatch
pusher.
Make sure the head of the last nail is
under the head of the pusher.
UNLOADING THE NAILER
1. Always unload all fasteners before
removing tool from service.
Unloading is the reverse of loading,
except always disconnect the air
hose before unloading.
2. Pull nail
pusher
mechanism
back until
pusher
engages
with
magazine
latch.
3. Hold tool
upright so
nails will
slide
backwards

slot.
4. Squeeze
the pusher
and latch
together to
unlatch the
pusher
once all
nails have
been removed.
ADJUSTING THE NAIL PENETRATION
The NS219001 and NS349001 nailers are
equipped with an adjustable depth of drive
feature. This allows the user to determine
how deep a fastener will be driven into the
work surface.
1. Adjust the operating pressure to a
pressure which will consistently
drive the fasteners. Do not exceed
the maximum operating pressure of
the nailer of 120 psi.
2. To adjust the depth-of-drive, loosen
the 4mm bolt on the top of nose. To
increase depth, push WCE in toward
nose as much as desired. Re-tighten
bolt. To decrease depth, pull WCE
out as much as desired. Re-tighten
bolt.
3. Make sure that the trigger and work
contact element (WCE) move freely
up and down without binding or
sticking after each adjustment.
ANTI-DRY FIRE
These tools are equipped with an Anti-Dry
Fire feature. This prevents the WCE from
being pushed in when only a few nails
remain. Simply load new nail clip behind
remaining nails to continue shooting.
ADJUSTING THE DIRECTION OF THE
EXHAUST
The nailers are
equipped with
an adjustable
direction
exhaust
deflector. This
is intended to
allow the user to change the direction
of the exhaust. Simply twist the
deflector to any direction desired.
