Read and follow all safety rules and operating instructions in this manual and on warning label of tool before using

this tool. Keep this manual with the tool.

• Keep work area clean and properly lighted.

• Keep children, bystanders and visitors at a safe distance from work area while operating this tool.

• Air tool operators and all others in work area should always wear safety goggles complying with United States

ANSI Z87.1 to prevent eye injury from fasteners and flying debris when loading, operating and unloading this tool.

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. These are NOT safety glasses. ANSI Z67.1 safety glasses

have permanently attached rigid, hard plastic side shields and will have "Z87.1" printed or stamped on them.

• Always wear ear protection. The work area may include exposure to excessive noise levels which will require nec-

essary ear protection. Some environments will require head protection; use head protection conforming to ANSI

Z89.1. Do not alter or modify this tool in any way. Do not use this

tool for any application other than for which it was designed.

Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure com- pressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this

tool. The tool will explode and serious personal injury could result.

• Never connectthe tool to air pressure which could poten- tially exceed 200 psi. Use only clean, dry, regulated air

within rated range as marked on tool.

• The tool must have a male, free-flow hose coupling so that all air pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected. Failure to use proper coupling could

cause accidental discharge, possibly causing injury.

• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pres-

sure, whichever is greater.

• Do not use a hose swivel connector with this tool.

• Do not pull trigger or depress contact trip while connecting to the air supply, as the tool may cycle, possibly causing

injury.

• When loading tool: Do not pull trigger or depress contact trip; Do not point the tool at yourself or others; Do not

place hand or any part of body in the fastener discharge area of the tool as accidental actuation may occur and cause injury.

• Disconnect tool from air supply before loading or unload- ing, performing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fas- tener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or

handing the tool to another person.

• Use Sears recommended fasteners only.

• Do not load the tool until you are ready to use it.

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.

Never engage in horseplay, Never pull the trigger unless the contact trip is in contact with the workpiece. Keep oth-

ers at a safe distance from the tool while the tool is in operation.

• Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasten- ers. Never carry the tool with finger on or under the trigger

as accidental actuation may occur and cause injury.

• Always keep hands and body away from the fastener dis- charge area when air supply is connected to the tool. Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil

away from work surface as fastener is driven. If contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is

released, an unwanted fastener may be driven.

• Check operation of the contact trip frequently. Never use the tool if the contact trip, trigger or springs have become

inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove contact trip, trigger or springs. Never use a tool that is leak- ing air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair.

• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. The fasteners can ricochet and cause injury. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of

the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fastener to fly free and cause injury. Do not attempt to drive fasteners into hard or brittle materials such as con-

crete, steel or tile.

• Do not overreach. Always place yourself in a firmly bal- anced position when using or handling the tool. Do not

attach the hose or tool to your body.

• Do not operate tool without fasteners or damage to tool

may result.

• Do not use tool without safety warning label. If label is

missing, damaged or unreadable, contact SEARS to

obtain a new label.

• Only qualified repair personnel must perform tool service.

• When servicing a tool, use only identicalrepair parts.

• Store toolout of reach of children and other untrained persons.

DESCRIPTION

The Craftsman Roofing Nailer drives full size, full head roofing

nails from _/,"to 13/," long. Magazine holds 120 nails in a coil so that one load will nail down one full bundle of shingles.Tool can be used for new or reroofingwith either asphalt or fiber- glass shingles. Safety feature disables tool unless contact trip

ispressed against workpiece. Depth adjuster controls depth of fastener. Air deflector can be adjusted to any direction.The contact trip is hardened to reduce wear caused by contact

with shingles. Die cast magnesium body withtexturedrubber grip minimizes operator fatigue and makes nailer lightweight

and durable.

AIR SUPPLY LINE

Refer to Figure 1. DANGER: Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure

compressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this tool.The tool will explode and serious personal injurycould

result.

• The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from

70to 110 PSI.

• Never connect the tool to air pressure which could poten-

tially exceed 200 PSI. Use only clean, dry, regulated air within rated range as marked on tool.

Air Delivery Required: 2.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI (30 shots per minute).

WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area

of toolwhen connecting air supply.Always disconnecttool from air supply when servicing oradjusting tooland when tool

is not in use.

• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricatedcom-

pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance

and long life.

• Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-

age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.

• Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not

removed from compressed air.

• A fUter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be

located as close to tool as possible. A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended.

• Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure

to the tool causing a reduction inpower and efficiency.

• The air supply system must be able to provide air pressure

of 70 to 110 pounds per square inchat tool.

• All hoses and pipes inthe air supply system must be clean and free of moisture and foreign particles. Hoses must be

ratedfor a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150%

of maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.

• Do not mountswivel connector in air supply line.

• The air pressure should be properly regulated.

• Different workpiece materials and differentfastener lengths

will requiredifferent operating pressure.

• Be sure all connectionsin air supply system are sealed to prevent air loss.

• Never connect a female quick-disconnect couplingto the

tool side of air line connection. A male, free-flow coupling should be connected to the tool side ofair line connection

(see Figure 1).

WARNING: The female coupling provides a seal preventing

bossof compressed air from compressor tank when discon- nected from male coupling. Ifconnected to tool side of air

supply,the female coupling couldseal a compressed air charge in the tool which coulddischarge if the tooltrigger is

actuated.

NAILING OPERATION

Refer to Figures 7 through 9 (page 5).

WARNING: Read and follow all safety rules and operating

instructionsin this manual and on warning label of toolbefore using this tool, Keep this manual with the tool.

WARNING: Do not use this tool withoutsafety warning

label, If label is missing,damaged or unreadable, contact Sears to obtain a new label.

WARNING: Never operate tool unless contacttrip is incon- tact with workpiece. Do not operate toolwithout fasteners or

damage to tool may result. Never fire fasteners intothe air because fasteners may injure operator or othersand damage

to tool may result.

• Perform "Safety Mechanism Check" as described in the Maintenance section (see page 6) priorto first usa of tool and on a daily basis thereafter.

The air tool is equipped withcontact trip safety mechanism that disables tool unless contact trip (Fig. 7) is pushed against work. Hold body firmly and press contact trip on

workpiece where fastener is to be applied. Pull trigger to drive fastener into workpiece.

The tool can also be operated by holding the trigger depressed and pushing contact trip against workpiece.

This operating procedure provides rapid-fire fastener driving. Never operate the tool unless contact trip is in

contact with workpiece.

OPERATING PRESSURE

• Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air pressure in excess of that which is required will make the

operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or damage to the tool.

• Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface.

Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.

WARNING: All air power fastening tools recoil when operat- ed. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool

may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener

to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in

hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. Let the tool do the work.This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.

CONTACT TRIP ADJUSTMENT

The contact trip may be adjusted up or down to vary the driven depth of the fastener. To adjust, rotate depth control

knob (see Figure 7) to raise or lower contract trip to desired setting.
