Checking the safety catch
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or
maintenance is carried out.
• Ensure that there are no fasteners in the magazine
• The Safety Catch (7) should move in and out with no obstruction
• Test the safety yoke is operating correctly as follows:
1. Connect the tool to the air supply
2. Push the Safety Catch (7) against a piece of wood without pulling the Trigger (1).
The tool should not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before further use
3. Hold the tool away from the piece of wood. The Safety Catch (7) should return to
the original position
4. Pull the Trigger (1). The tool should not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before
any further use
5. Push the Safety Catch (7) against the piece of wood, but this time pull the Trigger (1).
The tool should fire. This indicates normal operation
Loading the magazine
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any loading, adjustment,
or maintenance is carried out.
1. Pull back the Magazine Spring Mechanism (6) so it locks by operating the Magazine
Release Catch (4)
2. Insert the strip of nails into the nail loading slot
3. Hold the magazine spring mechanism and operate the magazine release catch to
allow the spring mechanism to move back securing the nails ready to be fired. Do

Operation
WARNING: Ensure your compressed air supply operates within the pressure range stated
in “Specifications”.
Firing Trigger
• To operate the nailer, press the Safety Catch (7) against the material. Holding the nailer
firmly by its handle, squeeze the Trigger (1) to fire the nail into the material
WARNING: Rapidly pressing the firing trigger could cause internal damage and may
invalidate the guarantee.
Exhaust
• Rotate the Exhaust Direction Dial (10) to direct the exhaust air away from the operator
Nail depth adjustment
IMPORTANT: Always test how far the fastener will penetrate the wood.
1. Fire a test nail into a piece of scrap material and examine the penetration depth of
the nail
2. If necessary, adjust the air supply pressure to change the nail penetration depth:
reducing the air supply pressure will reduce the depth that the nail penetrates.
