GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
WARNING
WHEN USING TOOLS, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
GENERAL
1. To reduce the risk of injury, read all
instructions before using the tool.
WORK AREA
2. Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risk of injury.
3.
Do not operate the tool in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of fl ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
The tool is able to create sparks resulting
in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
4. Keep bystanders, children, and visi-
tors away while operating the tool.
Distractions are able to result in the loss
of control of the tool.
5. Know what is behind your workpiece.
A fastener could travel through the workpiece and out the other side, striking a
bystander and causing serious injury.
6. DANGER: Avoid performing opera-
tions where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Contact a qualifi ed electrician to ensure
a safe work environment exists.
PERSONAL SAFETY
7. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
the tool. Do not use the tool while tired
or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tool increases the
risk of injury to persons.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair increases the risk
of injury to persons as a result of being
caught in moving parts.
9. Avoid unintentional starting. Remove
fi nger from the trigger when not driving fasteners. Be sure the trigger is not
pulled before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with your fi nger
on the trigger or connect the tool to the
air supply with the trigger pulled.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
11.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
12. The operator and other people in the
work area must wear eye protection
in accordance with ANSI Z87.1. Eye
protection does not fi t all operators in the
same way. Make sure the eye protection
chosen has side shields or provides
protection from fl ying debris both from
the front and sides. The employer is
responsible for enforcing the use of eye
protection by the operator and other
people in the work area. When required,
wear head protection in accordance with
ANSI Z89.1.
13. Always wear ear protectors when
using the tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
14. Do not carry an air hose or a tool con-
nected to an air hose when climbing
ladders, rigging or scaffolding. Do
not attach an air hose or tool connected to an air hose to your body
when working at elevated heights. At-
tach the hose to the structure to reduce
the risk of loss of balance and injury if
the hose shifts.
15. Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not.
16. Do not nail on top of another nail. This
can cause the nail to be defl ected and
hit someone, or cause the tool to react
and result in a risk of injury to persons.
TOOL USE AND CARE
17. 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.
18. Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which the tool is designed.
19. Do not use the tool if the trigger does
not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the tool from the air source,
20.
then empty the magazine before making
adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, touching the workpiece
contact or leaving work area. Verify the
tool is empty and there is no residual pressure in the tool prior to performing these
actions. Such precautionary measures
reduce the risk of injury to persons.
21. Store idle tools out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons.
A tool is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
22. Maintain the tool with care. A properly
maintained tool reduces the risk of injury.
If the tool has been dropped, received a
sharp blow, been run over , etc., perform
the "Required Daily Testing" before
further use.
23. 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 an increased risk of the
tool bursting if the tool is damaged.
24. Use only those fasteners specifi cally
recommended. Fasteners not identifi ed
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. See the "Specifi cations"
section for fastener requirements.
25. Use only accessories that are identi-
fi ed by the manufacturer for the specifi c tool model. Use of an accessory
not intended for use with the specifi c
tool model, increases the risk of injury
to persons.
SERVICE
26. a) Tool service must be performed
only by qualifi ed repair personnel.
b) The wrench provided is for tighten-
ing screws during "Required Daily
Testing".
c) Use only identical replacement
parts recommended by the manufacturer.
27. Use only the air tool lubricants supplied
with the tool or specifi ed by the manu-
facturer. Do not use other lubricants;
they will damage the tool. See "Acces-
sories" for a list of recommended air tool
lubricants.

AIR SOURCE
TERMINOLOGY
28. DANGER: Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases as a
power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious
injury.
29. Never connect to an air source that
is capable of exceeding 200 psi. Over
pressurizing the tool may result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use air supply hoses with a minimum
working pressure rating of 200 psi.
2. Use pressure regulators to limit the
air pressure supplied to the tool. Set
the regulators to no more than 120
psi.
3. Install only hose couplings that will
allow all pressure to be removed from
tool when disconnected from the
source. If the wrong fi tting is installed,
pressure may remain in the tool after
disconnection, allowing it to drive a
fastener, possibly causing injury.
4. Prior to each use, check workpiece
contact and trigger for correct operation. Do not disassemble or clamp
parts of the workpiece contact, trigger,
or driving mechanism. This will cause
unexpected actuation, resulting in serious injury.
5. Never point the discharge area of the
tool at any body parts or at other people. Always assume the tool is loaded
and capable of driving a fastener.
6. Do not actuate the tool into free
space. Do not engage in horseplay.
The discharged fasteners are projectiles
capable of causing serious injury.
7. When using the tool, ensure the
workpiece contact is securely placed
on the workpiece. Hold the tool fi rmly

Lubricating the Tool
Lubricate the tool with air tool lubricant
before connecting the air supply. Under low
use, lubricate once a day. Under heavy use,
lubricate twice a day. Use only a few drops
of oil at a time. Using too much oil will cause
it to collect in the tool and be noticeable
in the exhaust. Do not use detergent oil,
WD-40, transmission fl uid, motor oil, or other
lubricants not specifi cally designated as air
tool lubricant. These lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals, o-rings and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent maintenance.

DANGER
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases as a power source
for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Always use a coupling that discharges all the compressed air in the tool at
the time the fi tting or hose coupling is
disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed
air could cause unintended operation
and serious injury.
Use only clean, dry compressed air with a
maximum pressure of 200 psi. Before connecting the tool to the air supply, check the
air compressor regulator gauge to be sure it
is functioning properly, with a range between
70-120 psi. Air pressure higher than 120 psi
could cause injury and property damage. The
correct pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
To connect the air supply:
1. Remove the plastic plug from the tool air
inlet.
2. Insert a 3/8" NPT quick connector into
the tool air inlet.
NOTE: To improve the seal between
the connector and the tool, and to help
protect against oxidation, apply a PTFE
tape or paste to the connector threads
before insertion.
3. Lubricate the quick connector with 2-3
drops air tool lubricant.
4. Snap the air hose onto the quick connector.
5. Check for air leakage.
Installing Fastener Strips
WARNING
Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing
fasteners. Failure to do so could
result in injury.
Always make sure the tool's magazine is EMPTY before connecting to
the air supply. The tool may actuate
when the tool is fi rst connected to the
air supply. Always connect the tool
to the air supply before loading nails
to prevent injury from unintended
actuation.
Never install fasteners with the
workpiece contact or trigger activated. Failure to do so could result
in injury.
Use only recommended fasteners
of the correct size, length, collation
angle and head type, as indicated
on the tool's nameplate. Refer to the
"Accessories" section for information on recommended fasteners.
Other fasteners could result in tool
malfunction, leading to injury.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others, test the tool before
beginning work each day according to
the "Required Daily Testing" section.
Do not use the tool unless you thoroughly understand the actuation
operation selected.
Disconnect the air supply from the
tool and remove fastener strips
before leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
Do not carry an air hose or a tool connected to an air hose when climbing
ladders, rigging or scaffolding. Do
not attach an air hose or tool connected to an air hose to your body
when working at elevated heights.
Attach the hose to the structure to
reduce the risk of loss of balance and
injury if the hose shifts.
Single Sequential Actuation Operation
1. Grip the handle fi rmly.
2. Position the nose of the tool on the work
surface.
3. Push the tool against the work surface,
compressing the workpiece contact.
4. Pull the trigger to drive the fastener . The
tool will recoil away from the workpiece
as the fastener is driven.
5. Remove your fi nger from the trigger and
remove the tool from the workpiece.
NOTE: If the tool is not removed from

Reload Indicator
To indicate that the magazine is almost
empty of fasteners (about 4-5 left), the workpiece contact will not compress, preventing
operation under usual pressure. Install more
fasteners to continue working.
WARNING
NEVER wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism during
operation of the tool. Never attempt
to clear a jammed workpiece contact
by grasping the discharge area of the
tool. Doing so could result in serious
injury.
To avoid serious injury , do not attempt
to prevent the recoil by holding the
tool too fi rmly against the work. Keep
face and body away from the tool.
During normal use, the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener.
This is a normal function of the tool.
Restriction to the recoil can result
in a second fastener being driven
when the tool is in Contact Actuation
mode. Grip the handle fi rmly, let the
tool do the work, and do not place
a second hand on top of the tool or
near exhaust.
Setting the Air Pressure and Depth of
Drive
The amount of air pressure required will
depend on the size of the fastener and the
workpiece material.
WARNING
Know what is behind your workpiece.
A fastener could travel through the
workpiece and out the other side,
striking a bystander and causing serious injury. Lower the air pressure
and/or depth of drive to prevent the
fastener from being pushed all the
way through the workpiece.
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
and remove fastener strip.
3. Set the depth of drive adjustment to the
middle of its range.
4. Reload fastener strip according to "Installing Fastener Strips".

5. Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener into the same type of
workpiece material used for the actual
job using an air pressure of 90-95 psi.
6. Raise or lower the air pressure to fi nd the
lowest setting that will drive the fastener
consistently. Do not exceed 120 psi.
NOTE: It may be possible to achieve the
desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If fi ner adjustments are
needed, use the depth of drive adjustment.
7. To fi ne-tune the depth of drive, discon-
nect the air supply and lay the tool on
its side and point the nose of the tool
away from yourself and others. Remove
fastener strip. Turn the depth selector
left or right to increase or decrease the
driving depth.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, use only
identical replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer. Tool
service must be performed only by
qualifi ed repair personnel. Always
wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields when servicing tools.
Disconnect tool from air supply before servicing.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from tool vents.
Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean the tool, since certain cleaning
agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner ,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use fl ammable or combustible sol-
vents around tools.
Lubrication
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is
required for best performance. Oil added
through the air line connection will lubricate
the internal parts. Do not use detergent oil,
WD-40, transmission fl uid, motor oil, or other
lubricants not specifi cally designated as air
tool lubricant. These lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals, o-rings and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent maintenance.
Cold Weather Operation
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may
freeze and prevent tool operation. Use an
air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze as
a cold weather lubricant in the air line.
Do not store tools in a below-freezing environment. Ice or frost could form on the tools'
operating valves and mechanisms, causing
tool failure.
Air Supply-Pressure and Volume
Air volume is as important as air pressure.
The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersized fi ttings and
hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in
the system. Restricted air fl ow will prevent
the tool from receiving an adequate volume
of air, even though the pressure reading is
high. The results will be slow operation or
reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool
problems for these symptoms, trace the air
supply from the tool to the supply source for
restrictive connectors, low points containing
water and anything else that would prevent
full volume fl ow of air to the tool.
