GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand all these instructions before attempting to operate your product. Save
these instructions for future reference.
Before using your air nailer: Place a maximum of one drop of air tool oil in the air inlet daily
before use. Over-oiling will cause air leakage. Check and drain any moisture which may be in
the air tank of your compressor. Failure to drain this moisture may damage the interior of the
nailer and cause unit to jam and/or cause air leakage. Before use, please read the instruction
manual completely for safety and maintenance questions.
Never allow the use of oxygen or combustible gas as a power source for the tool. Use
filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air only.
Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool. Vapors in the tool may ignite
by a spark and cause the tool to explode.
Do not exceed maximum permissible operating pressure of the tool (120 PSI).
Disconnect the tool from air supply before clearing jams, servicing, adjusting, and during
non-operation.
Do not place your hand or any part of your body in the fastener discharge area of the tool
when connecting or disconnecting the air supply.
Do not keep the trigger pulled on a safety yoke mechanism when carrying or holding the tool.
Never carry the tool by the hose or pull the hose to move the tool. Carry the tool only by the
handle.
At the workplace, always wear the protective equipment such as Z87.1 safety glasses, ear
and head protection.
Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.
Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person.
Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings could result in
DEATH or SERIOUS injury.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The compressed air power source shall be pressure-regulated. The regulated
pressure must not exceed the maximum air pressure marked on the tool. If a
regulator fails, the pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed 1.5 times the
maximum air pressure, or 180 PSI, whichever is greater.
Pressure regulators shall be used to limit the air pressure supplied to the tool.
Regulators shall be set at an operating pressure which is lower than or equal to the
tool manufacturer’s specified maximum air pressure.
Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater
than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 120 PSI, whichever is
greater.
Tools shall be fitted with a fitting or hose coupling on or near the tool in such a manner
that all compressed air in the tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose coupling
is disconnected.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use an
oilier to help provide oil circulation throughout
the tool and to increase the efficiency and useful
life of the tool. Check oil level in the oilier daily.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use a
filter to remove liquids and impurities which can
rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter can
also increase the efficiency and usefulness
of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily
basis, and if necessary, drained.
For better performance, install a 3/8” quick
connector (1/4” NPT threads) with an inside
diameter of .315” on your tool and a 3/8” quick
coupler on the air hose.
The following illustration shows the correct mode of connection to the air supply
system which will increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool.

trip mechanism. Verify there is no binding, sticking or
jamming of this mechanism.

workpiece without pulling the trigger. The tool must not
cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs.
Hold the tool clear of the workpiece. The contact safety trip
mechanism should return to its original down position. Pull
the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Do not use the tool if a
cycle occurs.

safety mechanism against the workpiece and pull the
trigger, the tool must cycle.
