WHEN USING THE TOOL, BE SURE TO USE A SPECIAL AIR COMPRESSOR
AND AIR HOSE.
In order to improve its performance, it has set its working pressure higher than the
conventional nailers. To use the tool, you always need the special air compressor and
air hose (MAX PowerLite Compressor and MAX PowerLite Hose). Use of high-
pressure gas (for example, oxygen, acetylene, etc.) causes abnormal combustion,
possibly resulting in explosion. Use only the special air compressor and air hose.
NOTE:
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added thru the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts.

WARNING:
3. AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Read section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure
gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For this
reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 12 to 23 bar (170 to 320 p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be
operated when the operating pressure exceeds 23 bar (320 p.s.i.).
DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from
these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this
could result in an explosion.
DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is
used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been
completed or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling,
or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.
