AIR SUPPLY SAFETY
RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. The compressed air power source shall be pres-
sure-regulated. The regulated pressure must not exceed the maximum air pressure
marked on the tool. Over pressurizing the tool is able to result in bursting, abnormal opera-
tion, breakage of the tool, or serious injury to persons. The tool normally is not operated at the
maximum air pressure but at a lower pressure determined by the type of fastener used, the
workpiece, and other conditions of use.
RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working
pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the compressed air power
source. Any higher pressure could cause the hose to burst causing serious injury to persons.
RISK OF INJURY. Tools must be fitted with a fitting or hose coupling on or near the tool
in such a manner that all compressed air in the tool is discharged when the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to
persons.

TING INSTRUCTIONS
TING INSTRUCTIONS
To begin using the tool:
1. As a standard practice, drain water from the air
compressor tank and air lines prior to use each
day (refer to your compressor operators
manual for detailed instructions).
2. Install a ¼" NPT male connector (not included)
into the air inlet port on the tool (see Figure 2).
Note: Use Teflon® Tape on all threaded
connections.
Tool must be fitted with a
fitting or hose coupling on or
near the tool in such a
manner that all compressed
air in the tool is discharged
when the fitting or hose
coupling is disconnected.
3. Add a few drops of oil to the air inlet port (see "lubrication" section in this manual). Note: This tool requires
lubrication every time it is used. If an oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet port is not
required on a daily basis.
4. Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up pressure.
5. Adjust the air compressor's regulator or the supply line regulator to 60-100 PSI.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure marked on the tool. Personal injury may
occur.
6. Before loading the tool with fasteners, test the safety feature by following the steps in the "checking the
contact safety trip mechanism" section of this manual.
7. Load the tool with nails or staples (see "loading the tool" section in this manual).
8. Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel
(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose
(ref. item "F" in figure 1 for recommended connections).
