AIR SUPPLY
WARNING!
Compressed air can be dangerous. Ensure that you are thoroughly familiar with
all precautions relating to the use of compressors and compressed air supply.
Tools of this type, operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended that air
pressure be set to between 60 and 100psi. at the tool when running.
Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten the tools’ life because of faster wear, and could
be a safety hazard.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool, ensure it is properly maintained at all times.
The recommended procedure to connect this tool to an air supply, is shown on page 11.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, is a 10mm Quick Fit type.
Line pressure, or hose ID., should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses
(over 10M). Minimum hose dia. should be 6mm (1/4”) ID., and fittings should have the same
inside dimensions.

OPERATION
Ensure the tool is not loaded, then, with the air supply turned OFF, connect the air line to
the Nailer at the Quick Fit coupling.
With your fingers well away from the trigger, and the tool pointed away from you, and
anyone in the vicinity, depress the magazine catch, pull out the magazine and load with
appropriate nails or staples...as shown,
Turn ON the air supply, and check for air leaks. If any are apparent, rectify before
proceeding. Ensure the operating pressure is set to between 4-7bar (60-100psi), depending
upon the size of nail used and type of material being worked. The harder the material,
and bigger the nail, the higher the pressure.
Hold the tool so that it is at right angles to the work. Lower it so that the Safety Element
contacts the work surface, and is forced upwards. This movement releases the Trigger,
which may now be pulled, driving in the nail or staple.
To Clear a jam, ensure the air is turned OFF, and the trigger pulled to ensure the airline is
not under pressure, before opening the magazine and pulling out the offending nail/
staple. Close the Magazine, turn on the air and proceed.
Push the magazine back until it locks in position, - Your Nailer/Stapler is now ready for use.
