OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION

section at the beginning of this

manual including all text under

subheadings therein before set up

or use of this product.
Inspect tool before use, looking

for damaged, loose, and missing

parts. If any problems are found,

do not use tool until repaired.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean and

well-lit. The work area must not allow

access by children or pets to prevent

distraction and injury.

2. Route the air hose along a safe route to

reach the work area without creating a

tripping hazard or exposing the air hose

to possible damage. The air hose must

be long enough to reach the work area

with enough extra length to allow free

movement while working.

3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise

or clamps (not included) to prevent

movement while working.

4. There must not be hazardous objects

(such as utility lines or foreign objects)

nearby that will present a hazard while

working.

General Operating Instructions

1. Test the Tool, as directed in the prior

section, before each use.

2. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a

few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the

airline connection before use. Add a few

drops more after each hour of continual

use.

3. Set the working air pressure on the

regulator to between 60 and 120 PSI.

Do not exceed 120 Max. PSI.

4. Slide the Nail Length Slider (44) to match

the corresponding pin length (1/2”, 5/8”,

3/4”, 7/8” or 1”) of the fasteners loaded

in the Nailer. See Figure 1, below, which

shows 1” pin length setting.

NOTE: When changing pin size, slide

the Nail Length Slider to the new length

BEFORE inserting the new pins.

Loading the Tool

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

goggles with side shields. Other

people in the work area must also

wear ANSI-approved impact safety

• Attempt to fire the Tool into a

piece of scrap wood to ensure

that it is disconnected and is

incapable of firing any fasteners.
