OPERATION
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, depress
the button on the front of the spacing selector.
Slide the guide to the desired measurement.
Release the button.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply and reload the tool
with nails.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Open the feeder cover and magazine cover (see Loading
the Tool with Nails).
Lift the nail strip from the spool and remove the remain-
ing coil of nails.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
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
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 12, page 15.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply and re-
move nails from the tool before clearing a jammed
fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
If a nail becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the air
hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while clear-
ing the jam.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Open the feeder cover and magazine cover.
Remove nails from the tool.
Insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the driving mecha-
nism.
Tap the screwdriver gently with a hammer. The inserted
screwdriver should push the driver mechanism back,
freeing the nail jam.
Remove the bent nail, using needle-nose pliers if neces-
sary.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply and reload the tool
with nails.
Close the magazine cover. Close the feeder cover se-
curely.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for
best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools added
through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts.
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.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
