if someone picks up and uses the
nailer without knowing the correct
way to operate the nailer.
Notice indicates
important information, that if not followed, MAY
cause damage to equipment.
● Inspect the tool daily
for loose or broken
parts. Do not use the
tool until all parts

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.
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 non-detergent 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 exhaust.
