Operating The Nailer
Read this manual and understand
all safety warnings and instructions
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 damaged by excessive
lubrication. Proper lubrication is the
owner’s responsibil- ity. Failure to
lubricate the nailer properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the nailer
and void your 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-
detergent 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.
REMOVING NO-MAR DECKING TIP
1. Disconnect air
supply from
nailer.
2. Remove all fasteners from magazine
(See UNLOADING THE
NAILER).
3. Remove no-mar tip retaining ring.
4. Pry no-
mar tip
away
from the
work
contact
element.
5. Replace
retaining
ring onto
no-mar
tip, then
store tip
in safe
place for future use.
INSTALLING NO-MAR DECKING TIP
1. Disconnect air
supply from
nailer.
2. Remove all fasteners from magazine
(See UNLOADING THE NAILER).
3. Remove retaining ring from no-mar
tip.
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
1. The air
compressor
must be able
to maintain a
minimum of 70
psi when the nailer is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause
a loss of power and inconsistent
driving.
2. An oiler can be
used to provide oil
circulation through
the nailer. 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
pressure 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
pressure of 0 - 125 psi. A pressure
regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the nailer
between 70 and 120 psi.
NO-MAR DECKING TIP
The no-mar decking tip is designed to
eliminate marks caused by the serrated
work contact element (WCE). The no-
mar tip may be removed if not
required (See REMOVING NO-MAR
DECKING TIP). Use tool in single cycle
mode (SEE OPERATIONAL MODES)
when no-mar tip is in place.
