English
gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any other
material that is—or the vapors, fumes or byproducts
of which are—flammable, combustible or explosive.
Using the nailer in any such environment could cause
an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to
user and bystanders.
•
Use extra caution when driving fasteners into existing
walls or other blind areas to prevent contact with
hidden objects or person on other side (e.g., wires,
pipes)
WARNING: When maintaining the tool:
•
When working on air tools, note the warnings in
this manual and use extra care when evaluating
problem tools.
Additional Safety Warnings

function properly. Notify your nearest PORTER-CABLE
representative if your tool continues to experience
functional problems.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
•
Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail
discharge area of tool while the air supply is connected.

ASSEMBLY AND USAGE PREP
Air Supply and Connections
WARNING: Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this
tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Fittings
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing
and which will release air pressure from the tool when
disconnected from the supply source.
hoses
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm
working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. The
supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide "quick
disconnecting" from the male plug on the tool.
supply source
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source
for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR
BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS
TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
Regulator
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of
0–125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm
2
) is required to control the
operat ing pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not
connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially
exceed 200 p.s.i. (14 kg/cm
2
) as tool may fracture or burst,
possibly causing injury.
Operating Pressure
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure
as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the
tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool's
driving power. Refer to Tool Specifications for setting the
correct operating pressure for the tool.
Filter
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in
pneumatic tools. A filter will help get the best performance
and minimize wear of the tool. The filter must have
adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The
filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing clean
compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturer's
instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty
and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will
reduce the tool's performance.
Lubrication
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best
performance. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or
equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time
is necessary inserted into air fitting opening. Too much oil
will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the
exhaust cycle.
