LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

The model GR150 and GR250 tools are automatically actuated when the

nail in driving position is pressed against the work surface. Tools

continue to deliver multiple hammer blows until the nail is fully driven or

tool is lifted off work surface. Never press tool nose down unless it has

been properly positioned to drive a nail into a safe work surface.

DANGER

OPERATION

1. Connect tool to air supply using quick-connect coupling.

2. Hold the tool securely using the handgrip. Do not depress tool nose

until tool is in driving position and you are ready to drive a fastener.

3. Position the nose of the tool on the workpiece, placing the nail in

driving position at the desired fastener driving location. If nail is being

driven to secure a joist hanger or other metal connector, make sure

nail is centered in punched hole in joist hangers.

4. Press the tool nose down firmly against the work surface, and

continue pushing until the nail is fully driven. Do not lift the tool from

the work surface during nail driving, or another nail may be fed into

the tool nose.

5. After the nail is fully driven, lift the tool off of the work surface, and

place the tool in position for the next nail to be driven.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all desired nails have been driven.

7. Reload tool as needed, using Grip-Rite™ nails for best results.

8. Increase air pressure to drive into harder materials. Reduce air

pressure to drive into softer materials. For longest tool and part life,

always use the lowest air pressure necessary to drive fasteners.

9. Disconnect tool from air supply when nailing is completed.
