WARNING:
The tool may fire when it first connected
to the air source. Always connect the tool
to the air source before loading fasteners
to prevent injury from unintended cycling.
Always make sure the tool's magazine is
empty at the beginning of each work
session, before connecting to an air
source.
!
WARNING:
Use only those fasteners recommended
for use with this tool. Fasteners not
identified for use with this tool by the tool
manufacturer are able to result in a risk of
injury to persons or tool damage when
used in this tool.
CHANGE THE FOOT PLATE
The tool is equipped with a factory pre-installed
3/4" Foot Plate(G). And an additional uninstalled
5/8" foot plate. To change the plate:
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
⒈
Empty the magazine completely.
⒉
Fire the tool into a piece of scrap wood to
⒊
ensure there is no compressed air or fasteners
left in the tool.
Set the tool on its side to expose the four
⒋
Screws(H).
Remove the four Screws(H), then, remove the
⒌
foot plate.
Align the four screw holes in the replacement
⒍
foot plate with the four threaded mounting
holes.
Using the four screws you removed just now,
⒎
secure the replacement foot plate to the tool.
Ensure the correct Foot Plate is installed by

WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever changing the foot plate.
Make sure there is no fastener in the
magazine before changing the foot plate.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends
⒈
on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece
material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test
⒉
nail into the same type of workpiece material
used for the actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at
⒊
90-95psi.
Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest
⒋
setting that will perform the job with consistent
results.
1.

sure it is set between 70-115psi. Do not exceed
the maximum 120 psi
Hold the Arm (A) securely and press Foot
2.
Plate(G) to the work surface. Make sure the
plate is over the fastener target position.
Press down hard so that the Foot Plate(G) is
3.
firmly contacting the work surface. Then, using
the mallet packet with the tool, strike the
Hammer Cap (I) firmly to drive the fastener into
work surface. Lift the tool off the work surface.
Repeat this process until the job is completed.
When finished, make sure to store the tool in a
4.
clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children
and other unauthorized people.
!
WARNING:
Extreme caution must be used whenever
this tool is connected to an air resource. If
the tool is dropped, or if the Hammer Cap
(I) is accidentally struck, then the tool will
fire a fastener, potentially causing
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
!
WARNING:
Keep your feet off the tool.
!
WARNING:
Before using the tool on a floor, test the
tool on a scrap piece of wood. Adjust the
driving depth by providing more or less
air pressure. Never exceed 1PSI.15
!
WARNING:
An improperly functioning tool must not
be used. Do not actuate the tool unless
the tool is placed firmly against the work
piece.
CLEARING JAMS
Occasionally, fasteners may become jammed in
the firing mechanism of the tool, making the tool
inoperable. To remove a jammed fastener, follow
the steps below:
1.
Disconnect the tool from air source.
2.
Empty the magazine. Make sure all fasteners
are removed.
3.
Try to fire the tool into a piece of scrap wood or
flooring to make sure that it's incapable of firing
any fasteners.
4.
Set the tool on its side to expose the Nose
Bolts(J).
5.
Remove Nose Bolts(J) and Driver Guide(K) to
expose the jammed fastener.
6.
Remove jammed fastener, using plier or a
screwdriver if required.
7.
Replace the Driver Guide(K) and Nose Bolts(J).
8.
Reconnect tool to the air source, then reload the
tool with fasteners.
9.
Press the Drive Guide (K) against a piece of
wood, and test fire the fasteners several times to
check for proper operation. If the tool is properly
firing, you may continue using the tool. If the tool
fails to perform properly, immediately
discontinue use and have the tool repaired by a
qualified service technician.
!
WARNING:
Make sure there is no fastener in the
magazine before clearing a jam.
MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING:
Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
◆Disconnect the tool from the air
Empty the magazine completely.
◆
ANTI-DUST
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air
connector, check it after unpacking. Keep the antidust cap to cover the air connector when the tool is
not in use to prevent debris from entering the tool.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required
for best performance. Oil for the tool added through
the air line connection add will lubricate the internal
parts. Do not detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals
and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add
⒈
lubricant.
source.
2.
Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place
2-3 drops of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air
inlet. Do not use detergent oils, oil additives, or
air-tool oils as these lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in
the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust , oil, grease, etc.
!
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect. come in contact with
plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and
prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of
air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene
glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tools' operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The air compressor must be able to maintain a
1.
minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
2.
through the tool. A filter can be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum
up internal parts of the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum
3.
working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater.
Use 3/8" air hose for runs up to 50' and 3/8"
quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
4.
with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 70 and
115 psi.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 70psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
!
WARNING:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
TROUBLESHOOTING
