If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate the
nailer.
Before you operate your nailers, place
five to six drops of the included oil into the
quick connect fitting where the nailer con-
nects to the air supply.
Framing & Finish Nailer
1.
Connect the air supply to the quick con-
nect fitting.
2.
To test for proper nail penetration, hold
the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
Operating
5.
Pull the trigger.
— If the nail drove into the wood far
enough, continue with your intended
operations.
— If the nail either went too far or not
far enough, then go to the
Adjusting
Nail Penetration
section on the next
page.
3.
Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
4.
Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflec-
tion.
Note:
Deflection is caused when
grain irregularities, knots, or foreign
objects inside the wood cause the
nail to change its path, resulting in
the nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in
Figure 7
.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is in the path of the deflecting
nail.
Figure 7.
Example of nail deflection.
4.
Slide the nails all the way down to the
nose of the nailer.
5.
Release the magazine pusher by pull-
ing back on the pusher and pushing in
on the catch lever.
