CAUTION. Low air output of the compressor or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool. Tool lubrication This framing nailer requires lubrication BEFORE initial use and BEFORE and AFTER each additional use throughout its life. 1. Disconnect the air hose, turn the framing nailer so the air inlet (12) is facing up. Place 2-3 drops of non detergent oil into the air inlet. This should be done before and after use.
Loading & unloading the fasteners CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose before loading the nailer. Make sure that nails are collated firmly and are not bent. Select nails suitable for your work. 1. Slide back the latch (9) all A the way to the back of the magazine (7) until the nail lock (8) has been engaged (Fig. A). 2. Insert the strip of nails into the nail top loading slot (6) (Fig. B). 3. Tilt the framing gun forward to allow the strip nails to slide B towards the front of the nail magazine (7) 4.
2. Connect the Framing Gun to an air supply and fire a nail into a sample piece of wood to determine the driving depth has been achieved. 3. If the nail depth is not acceptable, disconnect the tool from the air supply and re-adjust. Connecting the air hose D 1. Slip the air coupling of the air hose onto the air fitting on the nailer. Be sure that the air coupling locks firmly into position when installed onto the air fitting (Fig. D). 2.
