Unpacking Your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any
parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool.
Before Use
Installing the quick connector
• Fit the Quick Connector (2) to the nailer. The connector is a screw fit
into the Air Inlet. Applying PTFE tape to the screw threads will help to
maintain an air tight seal. Air lines fitted with matching ¼" connectors
will now be a push fit
Recommended air supply
• This tool should be connected to a clean air supply with an in-line oiler
and water separator
• DO NOT allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated in the
specification
• Always select the lowest supply pressure suitable for the task. This will
reduce sound and vibration for the operator. It will also decrease wear
of the tool and the chance of tool failure
• Always use an air filter with the machine. Without an air filter, air is
likely to have a higher water content that will rapidly corrode the
internal working parts of this machine and will shorten its working life
significantly. Water collects in the compressor tank and will cause serious
corrosion. The tank must be drained on a daily basis to prevent water
build-up in the air supply
• Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated
for the air pressure to be used
• If an automatic oiler (as per diagram below) is not used, pour two drops
of air tool oil into the air inlet of the quick connector before each use
CAUTION: Only use oil formulated for air or pneumatic tools. Never
substitute other oils which may damage this tool and the compressor or are
not suitable for contact with the operator of the tool. DO NOT use 2-stroke
or automotive oil.
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 catch 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 not allow the spring mechanism to
instantly spring back but control the movement
