Checking the Nailer/Stapler for Proper Operation:
BEFORE EACH USE, YOU MUST CHECK FOR THE PROPER OPERATION OF
THE WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE).
• The WCE is the mechanism on the nailer/stapler that is pressed into the work piece prior to pulling the
trigger. It must work properly to prevent accidental discharge of fasteners.
• The WCE on the nailer/stapler is held in place by a latch. Ensure latch is properly closed and locked
before proceeding.
• Disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply.
• Remove all fasteners from the nailer/stapler.
• Make sure the WCE moves up and down without sticking or binding. If sticking or binding occurs, dis-
continue use of the nailer/stapler until proper service and/or repairs are performed
• Connect the air supply to the nailer/stapler.
• Press the WCE against the work piece without pulling the trigger. The nailer/stapler must not operate.
• Hold the nailer/stapler clear of the work piece. The work contact element should return to its original
down position. Pull the trigger. The nailer/stapler must not cycle.
NEVER USE THE NAILER/STAPLER IF IT OPERATES WITHOUT PULLING THE
TRIGGER
Loading the Nailer/Stapler:
CONNECT NAILER/STAPLER TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE LOADING FASTENERS.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH TRIGGER OR SAFETY DEPRESSED TO PREVENT UNINTEN-
TIONAL DISCHARGE OF A FASTENER.
• Attach a high flow quick connector fitting to the nailer/stapler.
• Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 60 to 100 PSI (0.4 to 0.7 MPA). Do not connect the nail-
er/stapler to any pressure source that may exceed 120 PSI (0.8 MPA).
• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI (1.0 MPA) or 150%
of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
• Press the magazine latch. Pull back the magazine cover.
• Insert fasteners into magazine. Make sure the pointed ends of the fasteners are loaded with the sharp
points facing points downward. Make sure the fasteners are not dirty or damaged.
• Push the magazine cover forward until the latch catches.
Operating the Nailer/Stapler:
DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE WORK PIECE.
THE WORK PIECE IS LIKELY TO SPLIT ALLOWING FASTENERS TO FLY FREE OR RICOCHET
CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY. NEVER FIRE INTO MATERI-
ALS THAT ARE TOO HARD TO PENETRATE. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS IN ON TOP OF OTHER
FASTENERS OR WITH THE NAILER/STAPLER AT TOO STEEP AN ANGLE AS THE FASTENERS
MAY RICOCHET CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
