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
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 170 to 320 p.s.i. (12 to 23 bar.)
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be
operated when the operating pressure exceeds 320 p.s.i. (23 bar.)

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.

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.
