DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious injury.

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 2, page 15.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool
lubricant into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal
use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil at
a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the
tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before using the tool, check the air compressor gauge to be
sure it is functioning within the proper range of 70-120 psi,
and ensure that the tool is fully operational by completing the
Required Daily Checklist as described later in this manual.
An improperly functioning tool should not be used.
NOTE: Always wear personal protective equipment and
observe all safety instructions when operating this tool.
NO-MAR PAD
See Figure 3, page 15.
The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps prevent
marring and denting when working with softer woods.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury.
The no-mar pad for the framing nailer can be removed by
pulling it open and away from the side of the toe-nailing
claw. To replace the no-mar pad, fit it into place over the
points of the claw.
On-board storage for the no-mar pad is located on the
magazine of the tool.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 4, page 15.

location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
DANGER:
