Important Safety Instructions
(Continued)

Always remain in a

fi rmly balanced
position when using or handling the
tool.

Avoid long extended

periods of work
with the tool. Stop using the tool if you
feel pain in hands or arms.

TOOL USE AND CARE

a. Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the

work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.

b. Do not force the tool. Use the

correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better

repaired.

d.

source before making adjustments,
doing tool maintenance, clearing
jams, leaving work area,loading,
or unloading the tool. Such

precautionary measures reduce the
risk of injury to persons.

e. Store the tool when it is idle out

of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is

dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep

a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.

g. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.

Disconnect the

tool from the air

h. Use only accessories that are

identified by the manufacturer for
the specific tool model. Use of an

accessory not intended for use with
the specific tool model, increases the
risk of injury to persons.

Never place hands or any
other body parts in the
fastener discharge area of
the tool. The tool might eject a fastener
and could result in death or serious
personal injury.

i. Selecting an appropriate tool

actuation system, taking into
consideration the work application
for which the tool is used.

Never use

gasoline
or other fl ammable liquids
to clean the tool. Never use
the tool in the presence of
fl ammable liquids or gases. Vapors
could ignite by a spark and cause an
explosion which will result in death or
serious personal injury.

Do not remove, tamper
with, or otherwise cause
the trigger lock or trigger
to become inoperable. Do not operate
any tool which has been modifi ed in a
like fashion. Death or serious personal
injury could result.

Do not touch the trigger
unless driving fasteners.
Never attach air line to
tool or carry tool while touching the
trigger. The tool could eject a fastener
which will result in death or serious
personal injury. Also actuate the trigger
lock to the safe position when not in

Always disconnect the
tool from the power
source when unattended,
performing any maintenance or repair,
clearing a jam, or moving the tool to a
new location. Do not load the tool with
fasteners when the trigger is depressed.
The tool could eject a fastener causing
death or serious personal injury.

Always fi t tool with a
fi tting or hose coupling
on or near the tool in
such a manner that all compressed air
in the tool is discharged at the time the
fi tting or hose coupling is disconnected.
Do not use a check valve or any other
fi tting which allows air to remain in the
tool. Death or serious personal injury
could occur.

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

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.

SERVICE

a. Tool service must be performed only

by qualified repair personnel.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specified by the
manufacturer.

Do not make any

modifi cations
to the tool without fi rst obtaining
written approval from Husky. 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.

Disconnect air

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

AIR SOURCE

Do not use any type of
reactive gases, including, but
not limited to, oxygen and
combustible gases, as a power source.
Use fi ltered, lubricated, regulated
compressed air only. Use of a reactive
gas instead of compressed air may
cause the tool to explode which will
cause death or serious personal injury.

Use only a pressure-regulated
compressed air source to limit
the air pressure supplied to
the tool. The regulated pressure must
not exceed 100 psi. If the regulator
fails, the pressure delivered to the
tool must not exceed 200 psi. The tool
could explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

a. Never connect to an air source that

is capable of exceeding 200 psi.

Over pressurizing the tool is able
to result in bursting, abnormal
operation, breakage of the tool or
serious injury to persons. Use only
clean, dry, regulated compressed air
at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on
the tool. Always verify prior to using
the tool that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LUBRICATION

This tool requires lubrication before
using the tool 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.

components.

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

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the tool.

1. The air compressor
must be able to
maintain a minimum
of 60 psi when the
tool 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 tool. A filter can
be used to remove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or “gum
up” internal parts of the tool.

3. Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum 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 1/4 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch or
greater air hoses for 50 foot run or
longer.

150 psi or greater

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 tool
between 60 and 100 psi.

OPERATIONAL MODE

Always know the

operational mode of
the tool before using. Failure to know
the operational mode could result in
death or serious personal injury.

TRIGGER ONLY MODE (WITH
TRIGGER LOCK)

The tool is a single-actuator device. This
mode requires that, with the trigger
lock not positioned in the safe mode,
only a pull of the trigger will fire a
fastener.

After verifying there are no fasteners
in the tool, safety check the operation
of the activated trigger lock to prevent
the tool from firing a fastener before
storage. Always disconnect from

compressed air when not in use.

LOADING/UNLOADING THE TOOL

1. Set the pin length adjustment switch

to the appropriate setting for the
length of pins you are loading by
first pushing in on the red switch
and sliding until the notch is in the
appropriate groove.

2. Push the latch button. Pull back on
the magazine cover fully.

3. Insert a stick of fasteners into the
magazine with pins positioned as
shown. Make sure pins are not dirty
or damaged. Pins are marked for
direction of loading.

4. Push the magazine cover forward
until latch engages.

5. Always unload all fasteners before
removing tool from service.
Unloading is the reverse of loading,
except always disconnect the air
supply before unloading.

CLEARING A JAM FROM THE TOOL

1. Disconnect the air
supply from the tool.

2. Remove all pins from the magazine
(see "Loading/ Unloading The
Nailer"). Failure to do so will cause
the nails to eject from the front of
the tool.

3. Completely remove the two (2) small
nose screws and the top nose plate
to reveal the jammed fastener.

4. Using caution not to bend or
damage the driver blade, use a pick
or some other pointed object to pry
free and clear the jammed fastener.

USER-MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS

TECHNICAL SERVICE

Please call our Tool Hotline at 1-800­543-6400 with any questions regarding
the operation or repair of this tool or
for additional copies of this manual.

FASTENER AND REPLACEMENT
PARTS

Use only headless

micropins, 23 gauge.
Tool performance, safety and durability
could be reduced if improper fasteners
are used. When ordering replacement
parts or fasteners, specify by part
number.

DRIVER BLADE CARE AND
REPLACEMENT

In order to properly drive the
tiny micropins and leave a nearly
undetectable hole, the tips of the driver
blades end in a fine point and are
therefore quite vulnerable to abuse and
extended use.

To maximize the life of the blade,
closely examine fasteners for defects.
Make sure the pin length adjustment
switch is properly set. Do not use
defective or improper fasteners. Also
load fasteners in the proper orientation;
the pin points and the arrows always
point toward the wood surface. Drive
fasteners into wood products only (see
"Loading/ Unloading The Nailer").

Even with good care, extended use
of the tool may eventually lead to tip
failure. Replacement driver assemblies
can be purchased by calling 1-800­543-6400 and refer to part number
SKN11200AV.

Replace assembly by first removing the
four (4) head cap screws using the 4mm
hex wrench provided. Remove head cap
and components to access the driver
piston. Remove and replace driver
assembly using your fingers. Replace
components and head cap as removed.

TOOL REPAIR

Only qualified personnel should
repair the tool and they should use
genuine Husky replacement parts and
accessories, or parts and accessories
which perform equivalently.
