Instructions / Assembly

Disconnect air hose from nailer:
before performing maintenance.
when clearing a jam.
when tool is not in use.
when moving it to another location.
when handing nailer to another person.
Carry nailer by the handle only, not by the air hose.
Do not drive nails close to the edge of the workpiece. It could split, allowing a nail to fly
or ricochet and causing personal injury. Do not try to drive nails at too steep an angle.
Make sure nailer is held firmly during firing to minimize recoil.
Do not drive a nail into very hard material, thin material, or on top of an existing nail- the
nail could ricochet, causing personal injury.
Never use the nailer if it is leaking air, the contact safety mechanism is not working,
nailer has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps
are securely tightened.
Inspect the nailer before each use to insure that the safety mechanism, and spring are
operating properly. Lock the nailer in a clean, dry storage area between uses.
Only use parts, nails, and accessories supplied or recommended by FPC Corporation.
Unauthorized parts or fasteners can lead to malfunction and serious injury. Only
personnel trained by FPC Corporation or the distributor shall repair the nailer. Do not
modify this tool in any way.
Never use in presence of flammable liquids or gases. The nailer produces sparks during
operation.
Never use the nailer in sites containing lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases,
adhesive agents, and other materials which are combustible or explosive.
Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of electrical shock by checking for live wires that may
be hidden by walls, floors, or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch pertaining to that work
area.
Do not store the nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the nailer in a warm area
until the start of work. If it is in a cold area, bring it in a warm area and allow it to warm
up before use.
Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for consequential or indirect damages from the
use of this product.

MAINTENANCE
Operating Nailer
This palm nailer is a manual one nail at a time nailer. To load insert the nail head into the magnetic
barrel with the point facing out. To operate nailer push the nail point into the work surface. Note: The
nailer will immediately operate when the nosepiece is depressed.
If the nails are being driven too far or not enough adjust air pressure regulator.
Do not depress the tip of the palm nailer with your hand. Depressing the tip will cause the
nailer to activate.
! WARNING
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 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 plug
on the nailer twice a day.
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). Connect the air hose and blank-fire the nailer. The lowered air pressure will be enough to
