3. Unauthorized modifications to the unloader valve, safety
valve or any other components which control tank pressure.
4. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause
rupture or explosion.
Attachments & Accessories; Exceeding the operating pressure of air tools can cause them to explode.
Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area free
of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If
praying flammable materials, locate the compressor at least
s
20 feet away from the spray area. An additional length of hose
may be required.

determine the recommended minimum wire size (A.W.GAmerican Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the
wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver
ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and
size.

FIRING MODES &
VERIFICATION
Operational modes
This nailer may be operated in either “sequential” or “bump fire” mode.
Sequential Mode
This firing method is recommended when precise nail placement is required. In sequential mode, the nailer is actuated by depressing the
nailer nose against the work surface, the trigger then needs to be pulled and released each time a nail is driven.
Bump Fire Mode
This firing method is recommended when less precise nail placement is required. In bump fire mode, the trigger must be depressed with the
nailer nose off the work surface. Then, the nose of the nailer is tapped against the work surface causing a nail to be driven. Each time the
nailer nose is depressed, a nail is driven.
OPERATING A CONTACT SAFETY TRIP TOOL (SEQUENTIAL MODE):
• The operator is required to have the finger off the trigger and the nose of the nailer to be placed on the
workpiece.
• The contact safety trip mechanism is then depressed against the workpiece and the trigger is pulled to
drive the nail.
• The trigger is released after each nail is driven.
• Move the nailer to the next location and repeat the above procedure.
VERIFICATION
• Disconnect the air supply from the air inlet.
• Empty all nails from the magazine.
• Make sure the trigger and the contact safety trip mechanism moves up and down without sticking.
• Connect the air supply to the nailer air inlet.
• Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece without pulling the trigger. The
nailer must not cycle.
Never use the tool if a cycle occurs.
• Hold the nailer clear of the workpiece. The contact safety trip mechanism should return to its original
down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle.
• Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece and pull the trigger, the nailer must
cycle.
Never use the nailer if a cycle occurs.
Page 14
LOADING NAILER & CLEARING JAMS
LOADING NAILER MAGAZINE
• Disconnect the air hose from the nailer air inlet.
• Depress the magazine latch, pull back on the magazine cover.
• Insert a stick of nails into the magazine. Make sure the pointed ends of the nails are as close to the
bottom edge of the magazine as possible, ensuring the head of the nail is aligned with the
appropriate machined groove in the magazine.
• Push the magazine cover forward until the latch catches.
CLEARING JAMS
Disconnect the nailer from the air compressor before adjusting, clearing jams, servicing,
relocating and during non-operation.
• Disconnect the air hose from the nailer air inlet.
• Depress the magazine latch, pull back on the magazine cover and remove all nails.
• Undo the three cap screws (A) and remove the front plate (B) and the intermediary plate (C) from the
nailer. Using pliers, remove the jammed nail from nail discharge area (D) and reinstall all parts in reverse
order and secure them in place using the same 3 cap screws.
