Operation

For best service you should incorporate an oiler, regulator, and inline filter, as shown in the
diagram above.  Hoses, couplers, oilers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor
Freight Tools.

Nailer,
Stapler

1.  You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the air inlet on
the Nailer/Stapler First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape
before connecting to a 3/8” ID Air Source Hose (not included).  Connect the Air Source Hose
to the Air Plug (#58).
Note:  If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of
Pnuematic Tool Oil to the airline connection.  Add a few drops more after each hour of con-
tinual use.
2.  Set the air pressure on your compressor to 60 PSI.  Do not exceed the maximum air
pressure of 100 PSI.
3.  Check the air connection for leaks.
Note:  The amount of air pressure effects how deep the nails/staples will be driven.  It is
suggested that you experiment on scrap material.
4.  Check the air connection for leaks.

Warning!  Disconnect the Nailer/ Stapler from the compressor whenever loading or
servicing.

WARNING:  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activites, contain chemicals known [to the State of California]
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Some examples of
these chemicals are:
-

Lead from lead-based paints

-

Crystalline cilica from bricks and cement or other masonry products

-

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

(California Health & Safety Code  25249.5,

 et seq. )

Warning!  After disconnecting the Nailer/Stapler from the compressor, there could still
be enough air pressure to fire the Nailer/Stapler.

1/4”-18 NPT
