Always unload all fasteners before removing
tool from service.
WARNING:
!
Always disconnect the air source before
unloading.
WARNING:
!
CLEARING JAMS
Disconnect the tool from air source.
Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to do
so will cause the fasteners to eject from the front
of the tool.
Pull up on the Latch and open the .
Using caution not to bend or damage the driver
blade, using pliers or a screwdriver if required to
clear the jammed fastener.
Close the jam release and latch.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
Reload the tool with fasteners.
Nose Cover
Occasionally, a fastener may become jammed in
the firing mechanism of the tool, making the tool
inoperable. To remove a jammed fastener, follow
the steps below:
Make sure there is no fastener in the
magazine before clearing a jam.
WARNING:
!
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After
disconnecting the tool from the air
compressor, there should still be enough
air pressure to fire the tool. After the air
hose is disconnected, always fire the tool
into scrap wood repeatedly to make sure
all of the compressed air is expended.
WARNING:
!
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends on
the size of the fasteners and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail
into the same type of workpiece material used for
the actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 90-
95psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the
lowest setting that will perform the job with
consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with
air pressure adjustments alone.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener. This
is a normal function of the tool. Do not
attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the tool against the work. Restriction to
the recoil can result in a second fastener
being driven from the tool. Grip the
handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
!
MAINTENANCE
Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
◆Disconnect the tool from the air source.
◆Empty the magazine completely.
WARNING:
!
FIRING THE TOOL
(SINGLE SEQUENTIAL MODE)
The tool is specially designed for single sequential
mode. This mode requires the trigger to be pulled
each time a fastener is driven. The tool can be
actuated by depressing the work contact element
against the work surface followed by pulling the
trigger.
The trigger must be released to reset the tool before
another fastener can be driven.
It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap
workpiece to determine the required
depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust
the air pressure and drive a test fastener.
Never exceed 120psi.
CAUTION:
Each tool is packed with an anti-dustcap on the air
connector.
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air connector
when the tool is not in use.
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
!
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required
for best performance. Oil for the tool is added
through the air line connection and will lubricate the
internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives
as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to
the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor
tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CAUTION:
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEANING
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and
prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of
air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene
glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
CAUTION:

Latch
Disconnect tool from air supply.
Remove nails from the tool.
Adjust tool driving depth:
Use the attached M4 wrench to loose the
screw.
Move the Safey Cover up or down to change
the driving depth.
Reconnect to the air supply.
After reach the desired depth, tighten the
screw back.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
