SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When operating this Nailer, the operator and others in the work area should ALWAYS wear approved SAFETY GLASSES, with front and side eye protection. Eye protection will help guard against flying nails and debris, which could cause severe eye injury. EAR PROTECTION should be used to prevent hearing damage when there are high noise levels in the work area. ALWAYS use ear plugs with a noise reduction rated at 29 db or higher at a construction site. Nailer noise ratings are at LPA-1sd=90.

MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE 1. Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection will lubricate internal parts. An automatic airline oilier is recommended but oil may be added manually before every operation or after about 1 hour of continuous use. Only a few drops of oil at a time are necessary. Too much oil will collect inside the tool and be blown out during the exhaust cycle. ONLY USE PNEUMATIC TOOL OIL.
