IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Improper maintenance and operation are responsible for the majority of accidents
involving angled finish nailers. The largest portion of these could be prevented by
recognizing the basic safety rules and precautions. Most accidents can be avoided
if the operator recognizes a potentially hazardous situation before it happens and by
observing appropriate safety rules and procedures as outlined in this manual.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the SAFETY portion of this manual and
throughout text in this manual where a potential hazard might occur.
Hazards that MUST be avoided to prevent serious injury follow headers marked
DANGER or WARNING. These same precautions are placed as labels on the tool
itself.
NEVER use this nailer for applications that are NOT specified in this manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate angled finish nailer anywhere fastener may contact hidden
electrical wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make all metal parts of the
angled finish nailer “live.” This can result in severe electrical shock, severe
burns or death to the operator. Contact a qualified electrical contractor to
ensure a safe working environment exists.
Be aware of conduits or gas pipes. Striking a gas pipe could result in an explosion causing serious injuries or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Be aware of what is behind the work piece. A fastener could travel through the
work piece and out the other side, striking a bystander resulting in serious
injury or even death.
Do not operate the angled finish nailer in the presence of flammable liquids, such
as gasoline, thinner , paint, or adhesives, gases or dust. Sparks created by the tool
can cause flammable materials to ignite or explode. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away from area where angled finish
nailer is being used. Distractions can result in severe injury or even death to
anyone who inadvertently gets in the way of nailing operations.
Do not use oxygen, combustible or bottled gases (such as carbon
dioxide or nitrogen) as a power source for the angled finish nailer. Use only compressed air from a source as outlined in this man-
ual. The tool will explode resulting in severe injury or even death to the operator and bystanders.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.
NOTE provides additional information that is useful
for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.
In addition to SAFETY ALERTS listed above, there could also be numerous symbols
alerting the operator that specific safety equipment is required to safely operate this
tool. Learn these SAFETY SYMBOLS as well as the SAFETY ALERTS to prevent
injury to the operator and to bystanders.
READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand tool labels,
safety warnings and precautions in this manual before operating the tool.
Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in serious injury or even death
to the operator or bystanders.
WEAR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses must conform to
the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1
and provide protection against flying particles from both front and side.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTORS: Hearing protectors should be worn to
protect the ears from loud exhaust noise produced by the air tools.
USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY COMPRESSED AIR: Never use oxygen, combustible gases and any other bottled gas to operate air tools. Using these
other sources can cause the air tool to explode.
NEVER POINT THE ANGLED FINISH NAILER AT YOURSELF OR
OTHERS: Fasteners are under extreme pressure and can cause severe
injury or even death if misused.
DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.43 kg/cm
2
G). Using excessive pressure
from the power source can cause the angled finish nailer to explode
resulting in severe injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safety glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of
the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the angled
finish nailer. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to
the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) z87.1.
Failure to comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent damage
to the ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness in the eyes.
Never carry the angled finish nailer by the air hose. A sudden disconnection
of the air hose could cause the angled finish nailer to remain charged and an
accidental firing could occur. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Always disconnect the power source and ensure the tool is not charged
before loading fasteners. Failure to comply with this warning could cause
severe injury or death to the operator, bystanders and severe damage to the
angled finish nailer.
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the angled finish nailer. Always
use couplers that release any built-up charge in the angled finish nailer’s firing
mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the angled finish nailer to discharge a fastener while the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure
to comply with this warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even
death to the operator or to bystanders.
Do not drive nails on top of other nails. Do not operate the angled finish nailer at too steep of an angle. Nails can ricochet. Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not modify the angled finish nailer in any way. Unauthorized alterations
can jeopardize safety in the tool’s operation. Failure to follow this precaution can
result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
On rooftops and other high locations, always move forward as you use the
angled finish nailer. You can easily loose your footing if moving backwards.
When nailing against a perpendicular surface, nail from the top down. This
causes less fatigue and reduces the chances of accidents.
Ensure the work area is sufficiently illuminated to operate power tools. The
work area should be clear and free of litter.
Do not connect angled finish nailer to an air source capable of
generating more than 200 psi (14.06 kg/cm
2
G). Over-pressurizing
the angled finish nailer will result in bursting, abnormal operation or
breakage of the tool. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air
at levels specified on the tool. Failure to comply can cause severe injury or
death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not attempt to fasten the trigger in the “ON” position. This could lead to
an accidental discharge of the angled finish nailer . Do not operate the angled finish nailer if any portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnected, altered in any way or not in proper working order . Failure to comply with
this warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other
bystanders.
All air compressors must comply with the requirements of ANSI
b19.3. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure where
air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated operating pressure.
Do not carry the angled finish nailer with a finger on the trigger. This could
lead to an accidental discharge of the angled finish nailer. Do not press the trigger of the angled finish nailer unless it is pressed firmly against the work piece.
Do not point the angled finish nailer at yourself or in the direction of another
person. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or
even death to the operator or other bystanders.
Do not tamper with the work piece contact. The work piece contact prevents
accidental discharge of the angled finish nailer and should never be removed or
compromised in any way. Failure to comply with this warning could result in
serious injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
Always disconnect air hose and remove any remaining nails:
1. When angled finish nailer is left unattended.
2. Before performing any maintenance or repair on the angled finish nailer.
3. Before attempting to clear a jam in the angled finish nailer.
4. Before moving the angled finish nailer to a new location.
Always check the overall condition of the angled finish nailer before using.
Check for and tighten any loose screws. Ensure all safety systems are in work-
ing condition before using the angled finish nailer . The angled finish nailer must
not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the work piece contact is
pressed against the work piece. The angled finish nailer must only be used if
both the trigger and work piece contact work at the same time.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the angled
finish nailer .Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the angled
finish nailer’s firing mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the angled
finish nailer to discharge a fastener while the tool is disconnected from the
power source. Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even death to the operator or to bystanders.
When selecting an air compressor, it must comply with the requirements of the
American National Safety Institute - ANSI B19.3.
Choose an air compressor that can supply more than the required air pressure to
ensure optimum efficiency. Always use clean, dry compressed air with a maximum
pressure of 200 psi. Use a pressure regulator and set the pressure between 70 –
120 psi. (5.0 – 8.5 kg/cm
2
G). Before each use, check the pressure regulator to
ensure it is functioning within the proper pressure range.
Using an air pressure of more than 120 psi can
cause the angled finish nailer to malfunction or possibly explode
causing severe injury or property damage.
SELECTING A PROPER AIR HOSE
Use an air hose with the largest diameter and shortest length possible to ensure
continuous, efficient nailing operations. Using an air pressure of 70 psi (5.0
kg/cm
2
G), an air hose with an inside diameter of 1/4" (6.5 mm) or greater and a hose
length of less than 6.6 ft (20 m), it is recommended that a 0.5 second interval be
allowed between each nailing. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure of 150 psi (10.7 kg/cm
2
G) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced by the
compressor or whichever is higher.
Low air output by the compressor or a longer hose with
a smaller inside diameter in relation to the nailing frequency may decrease
the driving capability of the air nailer.
SELECTING A QUICK DISCONNECT
1. Remove the plastic protective plug
from the tool’s air inlet.
2. Insert a 1/4" NPT male quick
disconnect into the air inlet. Install the female portion to the air hose.
Thoroughly clean and maintain the angled finish nailer after every use.
Lubricate moving parts to prevent rust and minimize friction-related wear . Wipe
down the entire tool and remove all dust from the moving parts. Properly store
the angled finish nailer in a suitable case to keep it ready for the next job.
All maintenance and repairs should be performed by an authorized repair
facility. Call 1-888-278-8092 to obtain a list of repair facilities in your area or
to make arrangements to return the tool for service.
