SAFETY
SAFETY
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE TOOL IF THE TOOL’S OPERATING CONTROLS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED OR ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
Attempting to use a tool with modified or malfunctioning trigger or workpiece contact can result in a fastener being driven unintentionally.
USE CORRECT FASTENERS AND PLASTIC CAPS FOR TOOL
Only use the correct cap and fastener for the tool. Using caps or fasteners with incorrect specifications can jam the tool or cause serious injuries.
USE THE CORRECT FASTENERS FOR THE APPLICATION.
Using the wrong fasteners can cause the workpiece to split and allow the fastener to fly free.
KEEP TOOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION WHEN LOADING FASTENERS.
Never point the tool at yourself or anyone else when loading fasteners.
DO NOT LOAD TOOL WITH TRIGGER OR WORKPIECE CONTACT DEPRESSED.
Depressing the trigger or workpiece contact during loading can result in an unintentional fastener drive if both devices are accidentally actuated at the same time.
KEEP FINGER OFF TRIGGER UNTIL TOOL IS IN POSITION TO DRIVE A FASTENER.
An unexpected bump or sudden contact with your body or that of a bystander can result in serious injuries.
AVOID DRIVING FASTENERS INTO KNOTS, ON TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS, AT WORKPIECE EDGES, OR INTO BRITTLE MATERIALS.
Driving fasteners into extremely hard materials, or driving into workpiece edges, can cause fasteners to deflect away from the workpiece. Flying fasteners can cause serious injuries.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM AREA BEING FASTENED.
Fasteners can deflect and turn as they are being driven into the workpiece, and penetrate fingers, hands, and other body parts that may be in the fastening area.
DO NOT OVERREACH OR WORK WHILE ON UNSTABLE FOOTING
If you lose your balance while fastening, you could drive a fastener into yourself or a bystander.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF TOOL MALFUNCTIONS OR BEGINS LEAKING AIR.
Operating a malfunctioning tool can result in an unexpected fastener discharge and injury to yourself or others.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY TO RE­LOAD, CLEAR JAMS, OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE.
Never attempt to reload a tool, clear a jam, or perform maintenance without first disconnecting the air supply.
NEVER LEAVE A LOADED, PRESSURIZED TOOL UNATTENDED
A loaded, pressurized tool could be picked up or handled by someone who is unfamiliar with the tool or that has not read the tool manual.

MAINTENANCE
Your tool will last longer and perform better if periodic maintenance is performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating in top condition.
Lubrication
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Apply three drops of air tool oil (provided) in the air inlet before each use, and after every 1000 fasteners driven. If the tool will be used outside in the winter, use a winter grade air tool oil to help keep frost from forming inside the tool. Do not use other types of lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants may contain chemicals harmful to o-rings and other tool components.
Cleaning
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Brush tool off using a parts cleaning brush or clean rag. Open magazine and brush out dirt and debris. Check area around trigger and workpiece contact, and clean as necessary.
Workpiece Contact & Trigger
Check workpiece contact for proper operation before each use. Workpiece contact must move freely and return to extended position when lifted from workpiece. Trigger must operate freely.
Daily Inspection
• Check for broken, damaged, or excessively worn parts, and repair
or replace as needed.
• Check for air leaks at trigger, cap, and nose. Disconnect tool from
air supply immediately if leaks are present, and see dealer for service.
• Make sure all screws are tightened securely.
