COMPONENT INSTALLATION
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the brad nail-
er. Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the brad nailer’s fir-
ing mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the brad nailer to dis-
charge 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 60 –
115 psi. (4.0 – 8.0 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 brad 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 pres-
sure 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 brad 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 brad
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.
