OPERATION
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Neverengageinhorseplay.
• Neverpullthetriggerunlessnoseisdirectedtoward
the work.
• Keepothersasafedistancefromthetoolwhiletoolisin
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
Pneumatic tools are designed for single-hand use. Do
not hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine 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 on the workpiece. Positioning the work
contact element only partially on 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.
4 — English
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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 and let the tool do the work. 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.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases
as a power source for this tool as tool will explode, possibly causing injury or death.
Do not use with an air compressor which can potentially
exceed 200 psi, as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when
air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting is used,
the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply:
• Beforemakingadjustments
• Whenservicingthetool
•Whenclearingajam
• Whentoolisnotinuse

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.
OPERATION
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 90-95 psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 9, page 16.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply. Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing nails. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields or goggles marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in fluids entering 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 may result in serious personal injury.
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.
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.
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.
12 — English
MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED DAILY CHECKLIST
Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove all
fasteners.
Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and pins on the tool. If
any of these are loose, they must be tightened with the appropriate size wrench.
Press the workpiece contact against a workpiece to
ensure that it moves smoothly.
With the workpiece contact depressed, pull the trigger.
