Air Supply and Connections

WARNING: Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this
tool as tool may explode, possibly causinginjury.
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power
source for this tool.
NOTICE: Do not exceed recommended maximum
operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly
increased. The air supply must be capable of
maintaining the operating pressure at the tool.
Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power.
Tool Air Fitting

WARNING: Always use couplings that relieve all
pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from
the power supply. Always use hose connectors that
shut off air supply from compressor when the tool
isdisconnected.
The tool is equipped with a 1/4" male quick
connectorfitting.
To Install an Air Fitting
1. Wrap the male end of the fitting with thread seal tape
prior to assembly to eliminate airleaks.
2. Screw fitting directly into the air inlet and tighten firmly.
NOTE: If an adapter is in the air inlet, remove it prior to
inserting thefitting.
NOTE: A 3/8" (9.5 mm) supply line (and fittings) should
be used for high volume nailing. This fitting requires
a 3/8" (9.5mm) adapter. Both fitting and adapter are
available from CRAFTSMAN. Refer to Accessories.
Operating Pressure

WARNING: Do not exceed recommended
maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be
greatly increased. The air supply must be capable
of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool.
Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to Tool Specifications for
setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
Hoses

WARNING: Air hoses should have a minimum
working pressure rating of 150 percent of the
maximum pressure that could be produced in the
air system. Refer to Tool Specifications for the
correct operating pressure for the tool. The supply
hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick
disconnecting” from the male fitting on the tool.
