2. Insert the fuel cell into the tool
i. Pull the latch and open the fuel cell cover (Fig. 6).
ii. Insert the fuel cell into the tool (Fig. 7), making sure
GB
that the stem of the fuel cell lines up correctly with the
hole in the adaptor (Fig. 8).
iii. Close the cover.
5. LOADING THE TOOL
CAUTION: When loading nails into tool:
l D o not depress trigger
l D o not depress contact arm
l K eep your face, hands, feet and other body parts, as
well as those of other persons away from the nose
to avoid possible injury during loading.
1. Insert nail strip into rear of magazine (Fig. 9).
2. Slide the nail strip forward in the magazine (Fig. 10).
3. Pull the nail feeder (B) back to engage the feeder knob
to the nail strip (Fig. 11).
NOTE Use nail strip of more than 10 nails.
Removing the nails:
1. Pull the feeder knob backward (Fig. 12).
2. Return the feeder knob forward quietly while pushing
the nail feeder (B).
3. Pull out nails from the back of the magazine (Fig.13).
CAUTION: To prevent unintentional operation, never
touch the trigger or place the top end of the contact arm
on a work bench on floor. Also, never face the nail outlet
toward any part of a person.
6. USING THE NAILER
CAUTION
l S queeze the contact arm when drivng a nail,
otherwise the piston can not return correctly.
l U sing the tool for an extended period may lead to
oil around the exhaust outlet or nose, resulting in
spattering.
l T o ensure that the material to be nailed stays clean,
wipe off any oil that gets on the tool.

CYCLE RATES
These tools are designed to operate up to the following
cycle rates:
Intermittent Operation – 16-17 nails per minute
Continuous Operation – 1000 nails per hour
Exceeding these rates could cause the tool to overheat,
resulting in loss of performance or damage to tool
components. By using the nailer at its recommended
cycle rate, you will be able to drive several thousand
nails in a typical working day.
SAFETY TRIP
These tools are supplied fitted with a sequential safety
trip and are marked with an inverted equilateral triangle
(▼). Do not attempt to use a tool marked in this way if
the safety trip is missing or appears damaged.
The sequential trip requires the operator to hold the tool
against the work with the safety trip depressed before
pulling the trigger. In order to drive additional fasteners,
the trigger must be released and the tool lifted away
from the work, before repeating.
This makes accurate fastener placement easier,
for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating
applications. The sequential trip allows exact fastener
location without the possibility of driving a second
fastener on recoil. The sequential trip tool has a positive
safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive
a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or
anything else, while the operator is holding the trigger.
FASTENER LOCKOUT
These tools employ a mechanism to prevent dry firing
of the tool.
When the magazine is not loaded with nails or when the
remaining number of nails becomes less than 4/5, the
contact arm cannot operate and the tool will not fire.
TOOL OPERATION CHECK
SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION
A) Without touching the trigger, press the contact arm
against the work surface.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
