NOTICE: A number of manufacturers'
nails may fit the Model H6144. However,
for best performance, we recommend you

To load your nailer:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2. Insert a nail stick into the T-slot at
the top of the magazine as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Loading finish nails into nailer.
Operating
If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate
the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place one
drop of the included oil into the quick con-
nect fitting where the nailer connects to
the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. To test for proper nail penetration, hold
the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
3. Depress the safety yoke mechanism
on your workpiece.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of
deflection.
Deflection is caused when grain irreg-
ularities, knots or foreign objects inside
the wood cause the nail to change its
path, resulting in the nail puncturing
the surface of the workpiece, as shown
in
Figure 4.
3. Slide the nail stick all the way down to
the nose of the nailer.
Pusher
4. Pull the magazine pusher all the way
back, then let it come forward until it
rests against the end of the nail stick.
