Preparing the tool

Selecting compressor

Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air

output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph shows

the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure

and compressor air output.
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of

approximately 40 times per minute at a compression of

0.8 MPa (120 PSI). a compressor with an air output over

3CFM is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to

the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure

exceeds the tool’s rated pressure. Failure to do so may

result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.

Selecting air hose

Use an air hose with a large diameter and as short as

possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.
With an air pressure of 0.80 MPa (120 PSI), an air hose

with an internal diameter of over 6.5mm (1/4”) and a length

of less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the interval

between each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall

have a minimum working pressure rating of 1.06 MPa

(150 PSI) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure

produced in the system whichever is higher.

CAUTION.

Low air output of the compressor or a long or

smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency

may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool.

Tool lubrication

This framing nailer requires lubrication BEFORE initial use

and BEFORE and AFTER each additional use throughout

its life.
1. Disconnect the air hose, turn the framing nailer so the air

inlet (12) is facing up. Place 2-3 drops of non detergent

oil into the air inlet. This should be done before and

after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a

couple of times after pneumatic nail gun oil is introduced.

Do not use air tool oil as it contains solvents which will

damage the nailer’s internal parts.

2. Lubricate the contact safety mechanism (1),
the latch (9), and the trigger (4) periodically.
3. After lubrication, run framing nailer briefly. Wipe off any

excess oil from the exhaust port (3). The work surface

can become damaged by excessive lubrication.

4. Framing nailer repairs must be done by a qualified and

experienced service dealer.
