! DANGER

Improper use of this nailer can result in death or serious injury.
This manual contains important information about product safety.
Read and understand this entire manual before operating this nailer

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS:

THE SAFETY WARNINGS BELOW CANNOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE
SITUATIONS THAT MAY OCCUR. THESE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO PROTECT AGAINST PERSONAL
INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR OTHER PERSONNEL IN THE AREA, AS
WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. READ AND UNDERSTAND
THESE WARNINGS BEFORE USING EQUIPMENT.

Keep tool away from children, and DO NOT allow children near work area. Do not allow children
or untrained personnel to handle this nailer.

DO NOT operate this nailer while tired, or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication that makes you drowsy.

Wear safety glasses and ear protection. The nailer operator and all
personnel in the work area must wear safety glasses that protect
the front and side, to avoid eye injury. Ear plugs should be worn to
avoid hearing damage.

If operator will be working in a situation where overhead work will be done (i.e. on a ladder,
stairs, or scaffolding) a hard hat must be worn.

Never wear loose clothing or jewelry because it can get caught in the moving parts of this nailer.
Make sure long hair is covered, to avoid getting it caught in nailer.

Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself and others at all times. Keep hands and all body parts
away from rear area of nailer (near air hose) to guard against injury. Keep hands and feet away
from firing head during use.

Keep proper balance and footing at all times - do not over-reach.

Never use oxygen, bottled gas or any type of combustible fuel as a
power source - it can cause an explosion and serious injury.

Do not use near flammable liquids or gases - the nailer sparks during
operation, and could cause an explosion and serious injury.

Use an air hose that will withstand at least 150 psi, OR 150% of the maximum pressure of the
compressor.

Never connect this tool to compressed air if the pressure could exceed 200 psi, as the nailer
could burst. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air, with pressure not exceeding 100psi.

Do not use a non-relieving coupler with this nailer - if used, the nailer could remain charged with
air after disconnecting, and would still be able to drive a nail even after being disconnected. The
nailer and air hose must have a coupling so that all pressure is removed from the nailer when the
coupling is disconnected.
.

Do not use an air hose that is too long - nailer operator can trip over it. Make sure all connections
are tight.

AIR

Storing

When not in use for an extended period of time apply a thin coat of pneumatic tool lubricant to
the steel parts in order to avoid rust. Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep
the nailer in a warm and dry place.

Troubleshooting

The following form lists the common operating system with problems and solutions. Please read
the form carefully and follow it.

WARNING: If any of the following symptoms appears during your operation, stop using the tool

service center can perform repairs or replacement of tool. Disconnect tool from air supply before
attempting repair or adjustment. When replacing O-rings or cylinder, lubricate with air tool oil
before assembly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS: continued

Operating Nailer

! WARNING

Do not depress the tip of the palm nailer with your hand. Depressing the tip will cause the
nailer to activate.

This palm nailer is a manual one nail at a time nailer. To load insert the nail head into the magnetic
barrel with the point facing out. To operate nailer push the nail point into the work surface. Note: The
nailer will immediately operate when the nosepiece is depressed.
If the nails are being driven too far or not enough adjust air pressure regulator.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

It is important that the nailer be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication the nailer will not work
properly and parts will wear prematurely. Use pneumatic tool lubricant. Do detergent oil or additives.
These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the nailer to malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used. Keep the lubricator filled with pneumatic tool
lubricant. If a lubricator is unavailable, supply 2 - 3 drops of pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug
on the nailer twice a day.

Cold Weather Care

Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. If the nailer is cold bring the nailer into a warm
area and allow to warm up before use. To warm the nailer: Reduce the air pressure to 40 psi ( 2.8bar

2.8kgf/cm²). Connect the air hose and blank-fire the nailer. The lowered air pressure will be enough to

Disconnect air hose from nailer:
before performing maintenance.
when clearing a jam.
when tool is not in use.
when moving it to another location.
when handing nailer to another person.

Carry nailer by the handle only, not by the air hose.
Do not drive nails close to the edge of the workpiece. It could split, allowing a nail to fly

or ricochet and causing personal injury. Do not try to drive nails at too steep an angle.
Make sure nailer is held firmly during firing to minimize recoil.

Do not drive a nail into very hard material, thin material, or on top of an existing nail- the
nail could ricochet, causing personal injury.

Never use the nailer if it is leaking air, the contact safety mechanism is not working,
nailer has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps
are securely tightened.

Inspect the nailer before each use to insure that the safety mechanism, and spring are
operating properly. Lock the nailer in a clean, dry storage area between uses.

Only use parts, nails, and accessories supplied or recommended by FPC Corporation.
Unauthorized parts or fasteners can lead to malfunction and serious injury. Only
personnel trained by FPC Corporation or the distributor shall repair the nailer. Do not
modify this tool in any way.

Never use in presence of flammable liquids or gases. The nailer produces sparks during
operation.

Never use the nailer in sites containing lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases,
adhesive agents, and other materials which are combustible or explosive.

Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of electrical shock by checking for live wires that may
be hidden by walls, floors, or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch pertaining to that work
area.

Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the nailer in a warm area
until the start of work. If it is in a cold area, bring it in a warm area and allow it to warm
up before use.

Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for consequential or indirect damages from the
use of this product.

AIR SUPPLY

! DANGER

NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur.

OPERATION

This nailer is designed to operate on clean, dry, regulated compressed air, between 60 and 100
psi. It is preferable to include an air filter, pressure regulator, and automatic oiler within 15 feet
of the tool, if possible.

An air filter is needed to remove contaminates and moisture that are contained in compressed
air; filtering will significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an automatic oiler is not installed,
place 2 to 3 drops of oil into the tool's air inlet twice a day. Do not install a quick coupler
directly into the tool. Higher pressure drastically reduces tool life.

The nailer comes factory-equipped with a male quick connector. The nailer must always be
connected to the air supply with a coupling that removes all pressure when it is disconnected.

NOTE: all components used with this nailer (air hose, connectors, regulators, filters, etc) must
be rated at 120 psi, OR 120% of the maximum compressor potential, whichever is higher. Do
not connect this nailer to a system with maximum potential air pressure greater than 200 psi.

Adjusting Air Pressure

! WARNING

Do not exceed 100 psi. Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 60 to 100

psi according to the length of nails and the hardness of the workpiece.
The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do the job. Using the Nailer at a
higher then required air pressure unnecessarily over stresses the Nailer.
