GENERAL SAFETY RULES
DANGER:
READ AND UNDERSTAND TOOL LABELS AND
MANUAL. Failure to follow warnings could result in
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifications
and provides protection against flying particles both
from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn
by the operator and others in the work area when
loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection
is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris,
which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper
eye protection is worn. We recommend Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses that provide protection against flying particles
both from the front and side. Always use eye protection
which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Additional safety protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may
include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing
damage. The employer and user must ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area. Some environments
will require the use of head protection equipment. When
required, the employer and user must ensure that head
protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1-1997 is used.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism
frequently. Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving
of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only fasteners that are recommended for your

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air.
Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which
it was designed.
Do not use hardened nails in this tool.
Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.
Use of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener
feeding, jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool at
erratic angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly and
properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed
and improperly feeding fasteners could result in serious
personal injury.
Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the
tool by the air hose.
Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design
or function without approval from the manufacturer.
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does
not function properly.
OPERATION
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
This tool is designed for single-hand use. Do not put
hands, head, or other parts of your body near the nosepiece
where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal injury
could result.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether
it contains fasteners or not.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully
positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the
workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece completely
and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may
follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer
against the material. The workpiece contact may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer.
Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not
place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any
time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with
the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the fastener
to be deflected possibly causing injury.

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 1, page 11.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool oil
into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal use,
or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil at a
time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the
tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor
gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of
70-100 psi.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 2, page 11.
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.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 70 and 100 psi . The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 100 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool must have an air fitting that allows all pressure
to discharge from the tool when the air hose connector is
disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use an air fitting that discharges all the compressed air in the tool at the time the air fitting and air
hose connector is disconnected. Using an air fitting that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used
in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For
maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings
are required.

OPERATION
LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figure 3, page 11.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is
first connected to the air supply. Always connect the tool
to the air supply before loading nails to prevent injury from
unintended cycling. Always make sure the nosepiece is
empty at the beginning of each work session, before
connecting to an air supply.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, feed
a nail into the nosepiece. Be sure the nails are pointed
downward and at the angle shown.
Do not hold the tip or head of the nail when feeding into
the nosepiece.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 70-75 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
DRIVING NAILS
Place tip of the nail against the workpiece.
Push the tool firmly with your palm. Keep the nail in line
with the nosepiece as the nail is driven.
Remove the tool from the nail when complete.
WARNING:
Never hold the nail with your hand or fingers while driving the nail. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool.
The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction,
leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the nosepiece depressed. Doing so
could result in possible serious personal injury.
8 — English
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools’ operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool failure and possible injury.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful
to “O” rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checking compatibility.
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 undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water
in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from
receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be a 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
flow of air to the tool.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for
best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools added
through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts.
Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will
cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the
tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool
maintenance.
