TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE
Selecting compressor
The air compressor must comply with the requirements of
ANSI
B19.3 - 1981.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output
to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph shows the
relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and
compressor air output. Thus, for example, if nailing takes
place at a rate of approximately
compression of

tool’s rated pressure. Failure

may result in serious
injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.

CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency

Nose adapter
CAUTION
Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before installing or removing the nose adapter.
When nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces, use
the nose adapter. It is factory installed at the rear of the tool.
Attach the nose adapter to the contact arm (see right). When
not in use, store the nose adapter at the rear of the tool to
keep it from being lost.

away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or alkalis). Also,
route the hose away from obstacles which it may become
dangerously caught on during operation. Hoses must also
be directed away from sharp edges and areas which may
lead to damage or abrasion to the hose.
