OPERATION
Loading Nailer Operating Nailer
To load your nailer:
1. Disconnect the air supply from the
nailer!
2. Push the magazine latch in the direc-
tion shown in Figure 1 .
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. Fire the EMPTY nailer 3-4 times
before beginning, so oil does not come out
onto the project during regular operation.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. Test the loaded nailer for proper brad
penetration. Hold the nailer perpen-
dicular to the surface of a piece of
clean scrap wood that is thick enough
for the length of brad nails you have
loaded. Depress the safety yoke
mechanism on your workpiece.
3. Before pressing the trigger, make
sure your free hand is positioned out
of the way of a potential path of a brad
nail in case of deflection. (Deflection
is caused when grain irregularities,
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 3 .)
3. Pull back the magazine cover until it
stops.
4. Point the nailer down and insert a
stick of brad nails into the magazine
as shown in Figure 2 . Make sure that
the pointed ends of the nails rest in
the slot at the bottom of the magazine.

5. Push the magazine cover forward
until the magazine latch locks in
place.
