Instructions / Assembly

Mode of Operation
This nailer is equipped with a contact safety mechanism and does not operate unless the contact
mechanism is depressed. There is only one method of operation to drive nails with this nailer.
- Intermittent operation (Trigger fire).
- Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger off the trigger.
- Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely depressed.
- Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
- Remove finger from the trigger.
- To drive another nail, move the nailer along the workpiece and repeat this procedure.
Lubrication
It is important that the nailer be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication the nailer will not
work properly and parts will wear prematurely. Use pneumatic tool lubricant. Do not use detergent
oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the
nailer to malfunction. Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used. Keep the lubricator
filled with pneumatic tool lubricant. If a lubricator is unavailable supply 2 - 3 drops of pneumatic
tool lubricant into the air inlet.
Cold Weather Care
Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. If the nailer is cold bring the nailer into a
warm area and allow to warm up before use. To warm the nailer: Reduce the air pressure to 40 psi
( 2.8bar 2.8kgf/cm²). Remove all nails from the nailer. Connect the air hose and blank-fire the nailer.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to blank-fire the nailer. Slow speed operation of the nailer
tends to warm the moving parts.
Inspecting the magazine
Disconnect the air hose. Keep magazine and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt, lint or abrasive
particles. Clean the magazine by removing plastic debris wood chips which may have
accumulated in the magazine. Lubricate it with pneumatic tool lubricant.
Storing
When not in use for an extended period of time apply a thin coat of pneumatic tool lubricant to the
steel parts in order to avoid rust. Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the
nailer in a warm and dry place.
In order to avoid double fire:
- Do not push nailer on workpiece with strong force.
- Take nailer away from workpiece using recoil.
- Release trigger quickly when performing trigger fire.
- Do not drive nails into thin boards or near corners and edges of work piece.
- Nails can be driven through or away from workpiece and hit someone.
- Never drive nails from both sides of a wall at the same time. Nails can be driven into and through
the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
- Never use nailer which is defective or operating abnormally.
- Do not use nailer as a hammer.
MAINTENANCE
Adjusting Air Pressure
Do not exceed 100 psi. Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 60 to 100 psi
according to the length of nails and the hardness of the workpiece.
The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do the job. Using the Nailer at a higher
then required air pressure unnecessarily over stresses the Nailer.
Testing The Nailer
Operators and all others within the work area must wear safety glasses
with side shields conforming to ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
Before actually using the nailer test the nailer using the checklist below.
Disconnect air hose connection from the nailer. Remove all nails for the nailer.
1) Pull the trigger and push the contact safety mechanism.
THE CONTACT SAFETY MECHANISM AND TRIGGER MUST MOVE FREELY.
2) Adjust the air pressure to 60 psi (4.9 bars 5 kgf/cm²).
Connect air hose.
DO NOT LOAD NAILS IN THE NAILER.
THE NAILER MUST NOT LEAK AIR.
3) Hold the Nailer downward without touching the workpiece with the contact safety mechanism.
Pull and hold the trigger for 5 seconds or longer.
THE NAILER MUST NOT OPERATE.
4) Remove your finger from the trigger and press the contact safety mechanism to the workpiece.
THE NAILER MUST NOT OPERATE.
5) If no abnormal operation is observed, you may load nails in the Nailer. If abnormal operation
occurs, stop using the nailer and contact the service center immediately.
Loading Nails
When loading nails into Nailer:
Disconnect tool from compressed air supply.
Do not depress trigger.
Do not depress the contact safety mechanism.
Keep Nailer pointed downward.
