Operator`s manual

WARNING: All air power fastening tools recoil when operat-
ed. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool
may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener
to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in
hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. Let the tool
do the work. This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away
from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.
CONTACT TRIP ADJUSTMENT
The contact trip may be adjusted up or down to vary the
depth of the fastener in the workpiece. To adjust, rotate depth
control knob (see Figure 6) to raise or lower contract trip to
desired setting.
Figure 6 - Setting Depth Control
CONTACT TRIP PAD
The tool is equipped with a contact trip pad (see Figure 7)
that prevents marring of finished surfaces by the contact trip
during normal operation. Pad can be removed and stored on
the storage sleeve located on the end cover of the magazine.
Hex wrench is also stored on the magazine.

CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before attempt-
ing to clear jammed fasteners.
• Open magazine and remove any remaining fasteners.
WARNING: Fasteners are under spring pressure and may
shoot out of magazine.
• Grasp nose cover on both sides and pull outward until pin
disengages from latch, then pull upward so that fastener
guide plate swings away from magazine (see Figure 8).
* Use long nose pliers to remove the jammed fastener.
• Close fastener guide plate, hook pin into latch and snap
nose cover closed.

EXHAUST DEFLECTOR
• Exhaust deflector can be positioned to point in any direc-
tion (full 360 ° movement). Reposition deflector by grasping
firmly and rotating to the desired position (see Figure 9).

OPERATING PRESSURE
• Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air
pressure in excess of that which is required will make the
operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or
damage to the tool.
• Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some
test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that
test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface.
Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.
