1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL 12 bar 170 psi 1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener flying up due to the improper handling of the tool.
8. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause accidents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and properly installed prior to operating the tool. 9. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DRIVE A FASTENER Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener into the work.
18. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR ELEVATED PLACE When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fastening at the lower part and gradually work your way up. Fastening backward is dangerous as you may loose your foot place. Secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents may be caused due to the hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught. 19. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g.

3. AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS WARNING: Read section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION Read section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. 1. BEFORE OPERATION q Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles. w Do not connect the air supply. e Inspect screw tightness. r Check operation of the contact arm & trigger if moving smoothly. t Connect the air supply. y Check the air-leakage. (The Tool must not have the air-leakage.) u Hold the Tool with finger-off the trigger, then push the contact arm against the work-piece. (The tool must not operate.
REMOVING THE NAIL q Push up the door latch to open the door. Door latch w Remove the nail. Note that when this is done, the feed pawl moves. e Close the door. Nail Feed pawl DRIVING FASTENERS NOTE: This tool is shipped with SINGLE ACTUATION selected. WARNING: ● To avoid double firing or accidental firing, pull the trigger rapidly and firmly. ● SINGLE ACTUATION is different from SEQUENTIAL TRIP.
Spring Pin Accessory punch w Remove the Switching Lever to the direction of the arrow. Spring Pin NOTE: When switching back CONTACT ACTUATION with ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM to SINGLE ACTUATION, equip the Switching Lever facing “S” mark front with the Spring Pin to the Trigger by reverse procedure. Switching Lever WARNING: ● Use the steel blackening color Switching Lever Confirm and use the designated original Switching Lever when carrying out the switching back procedure.
CONTACT TRIP MODEL with ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM The anti-double fire mechanism (US patent 5597106, UK patent 2286790) is installed on this tool. The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”.
DRIVING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT DIAL Adjustment dial WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect air supply before adjustment dial. Deeper q With air pressure set, drive nails into a representative material sample to determine if adjustment is necessary. w If adjustment is required, disconnect air supply. e Refer to the mark on the contact arm for direction to turn the adjustment dial. Shallow r Reconnect air supply. Deeper Shallow TRIGGER LOCK MECHANISM The tool is equipped with a trigger lock mechanism.
5. MAINTAIN FOR PERFORMANCE q DO NOT FIRE THE NAILER WHEN IT IS EMPTY w USE RECOMMENDED OIL The velocite or turbine oil should be used to lubricate the tool. Upon completion of operations, place 2 or 3 drops of oil into the air plug inlet with the jet oiler. (Recommended Oil : ISO VG32) e INSPECT AND MAINTAIN DAILY OR BEFORE OPERATION WARNING: Disconnect air supply and empty the magazine when inspecting or maintaining the tool.
