See Figures 6 - 7.

n Connect the tool to the air supply.

WARNING:

The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the

tool is first connected to the air supply. Always

connect the tool to the air supply before loading

nails to prevent injury from unintended cycling.

Always make sure the tool’s magazine is empty

at the beginning of each work session, before

connecting to an air supply.

n �With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, feed

a strip of nails into the magazine. Be sure the nails are

pointed downward and at the angle shown.

WARNING:

Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and

others when loading nails. Failure to do so could

result in possible serious personal injury.

n Slide the nail strip as far forward in the magazine as pos-

sible.

n �Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the magazine.

Release the pusher and allow it to push the nails up to

the driving mechanism. The pusher will stop when it rests

against the end of the nail strip.

NOTE: Do not allow the pusher to snap back into

place.

WARNING:

Use only the nails recommended for use with this

tool (refer to the Fastener Guide). The use of any

other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading

to serious injuries.

WARNING:

Never load nails with the workpiece contact or

trigger activated. Doing so could result in possible

serious personal injury.
