NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool must have an air fitting that allows all pressure
to discharge from the tool when the air hose connector is
disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use an air fitting that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the air fitting and
air hose connector is disconnected. Using an air fitting
that does not discharge the compressed air could cause
unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector.
LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 15.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool's driving mechanism may cycle when the tool
is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the
tool to the air supply before loading nails to prevent
injury from unintended cycling. Always make sure the
tool's magazine is empty at the beginning of each work
session, before connecting to an air supply.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool.
The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction,
leading to serious injuries.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger
activated. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the magazine
until it locks into place.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, feed
a strip of nails into the magazine. Be sure the nails are
pointed downward as shown.
Depress the pusher release to allow the pusher to move
the nails up to the driving mechanism. The pusher will
stop when it rests against the end of the nail strip.
DRIVING A FASTENER
See Figure 7, page 15.
WARNING:
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact
mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so could
result in possible serious injury.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
Single sequential actuation provides accurate fastener
placement.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose
of the tool onto the work surface.
Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
Pull the trigger to drive a fastener.
Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer.
Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do
not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at
any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
