Operating Instructions
Operating The Nailer
Read this manual and understand
all safety warnings and instruc-
tions before operating the nailer.
LUBRICATION
This nailer requires lubrication before
using the nailer for the first time and
before each use. If an inline oiler is
used, manual lubrication through the
air inlet is not required on a daily basis.
The work surface

!
can become dam-
aged by excessive lubrication. Proper
lubrication is the owner's responsibil-
ity. Failure to lubricate the nailer prop-
erly will dramatically shorten the life
of the nailer and void the warranty.
1. Disconnect the
air supply from
the nailer to
add lubricant.
2. Turn the nailer so
the air inlet is facing
up. Place 4-5 drops
of 30 W non-deter-
gent oil into air
inlet. Do not use
detergent oils, oil
additives, or air tool oils. Air tool
oils contain solvents which will
damage the nailer's internal
components.
3. After adding oil, run
nailer briefly. Wipe
off any excess oil
from the cap
exhaust.
Recommended Hookup
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the nailer.
1. The air com-
pressor must
be able to
maintain a
minimum of
50 psi when
the nailer is being used. An inade-
quate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
2. An oiler can be used
to provide oil circula-
tion through the nail-
er. A filter can be
used to remove liquid
and solid impurities
which can rust or
"gum up" internal parts of the
nailer.
3. Use 3/8" air
hoses with a
minimum
working pres-

sure of 150
psi. Use 1/2" air hoses for 50' run or
longer. For better performance,
install a 3/8" quick plug (1/4" NPT
threads) with an inside diameter of
.315" (8mm) on the nailer and a
3/8" quick coupler on the air hose.
4. Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating pres-
sure of 0 -125 psi. A pressure regu-
lator is required to control the
operating pressure of the nailer
between 50 and 100 psi.

Model NB0030
Sequential Trip Safety
Mechanism
The NB0030 is equipped with a sequen-
tial trip safety mechanism. When the
operator depresses the Work Contact
Element (WCE) against the work surface
and then pulls the trigger, a fastener
will be driven.
OPERATING A SEQUENTIAL TRIP
NAILER
1. Release trigger and
place nose of tool
against work sur-
face.
2. Depress the Work
Contact Element
(WCE) against the
work surface and
pull the trigger to
drive a fastener.
3. Release the trigger
and lift the tool
from the work sur-
face after each fas-
tener is driven.
CHECKING THE WORK CONTACT
ELEMENT (WCE)
Contact Element (WCE) trip mechanism
before each use. The WCE must move
freely without binding through its
entire travel distance. The WCE spring
must return the WCE to its fully extend-
ed position after being depressed. Do
not operate the nailer if the WCE trip
mechanism is not operating properly.
Personal injury may occur.
