TROUBLESHOOTING
Stop using tool immediately if any of the following problems occur. Serious personal injury
could result. Any repairs or replacements must be done by a qualified service person or an
authorized service center.

3.Fasteners are bent
4.Magazine or nose screws are loose
5.Driver is damaged
Fasteners are jammed
in tool
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:
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 60psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
through the tool. A filter can be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum
up internal parts of the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum
working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source if a regulator
fails, or 150psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air
hose for runs up to 50'. Use 1/2" air hoses for 50'
run or longer. For better performance, install a
3/8" quick plug(1/4" NPT thread) with an inside
diameter of 0.315" (8mm) on the tool and 3/8"
quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
with an operating pressure of 0-125psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 60psi and
100psi.

The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
CAUTION:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.

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:
!
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.
