Fig.4
If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster clockwise.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise.
The adjustable range is 10 mm. (One full turn allows
0.8 mm adjustment.)
Hook
CAUTION:
•
Always disconnect the hose when hanging the tool
using the hook.
•
Never hang the tool on a waist belt or like.
Dangerous accidental firing may result.
Fig.5
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
This hook can be installed on either side of the tool.
When changing the installation position, remove the
screw with a screwdriver. Install the hook on another
side for installation and then secure it with the screw.
Use the nose adapter
CAUTION:
•
Always disconnect the hose before installing or
removing the nose adapter.
Fig.6
If you like to protect the surface of workpiece, attach
the nose adapter of contact element.
When nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces,
use the nose adapter. To attach the nose adapter to the
contact element, press it onto the contact element until
the protrusion in three places inside the nose adapter fit
in three holes in the contact element.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always disconnect the air hose before loading the
nailer.
Loading the nailer
CAUTION:
•
Make sure that the coil support plate is set to the
correct step for used nails.
Fig.7
Disconnect the air hose from the tool. Select nails
suitable for your work. Depress the latch lever and open
the door and magazine cap.
Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the arrow with
nail size indicated on the coil support plate will point to
the corresponding graduation increment marked on the
magazine. If the tool is operated with the coil support
plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction
of the tool may result.
Fig.8
Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoil
enough nails to reach the nail guide. Place the first nail
in the feeder and the second nail in the feed claw. Place
other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close the magazine
cap slowly until it lock after checking to see that the nail
coil is set properly in the magazine.

Connecting air hose
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into

coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a
way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the
time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
