2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
3. Open the fastener door by pressing the
door lever and lifting up on the door.
4. Open the magazine cover.
5. To remove a coil of fasteners, slide the
coil off of the pallet post and out of the nail
slot.
6.
Reload according to "Installing Fastener
Coils".
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, disconnect
the tool from the air supply before
removing fastener coils or clearing a
jammed fastener.
Keep fi ngers clear of fastener track
of magazine. Pusher could pinch
fi ngers, causing injury.
8. Close the magazine cover.
9. Close and latch the fastener door.
Removing Fastener Coils
Connecting the Air Supply
Use only clean, dry compressed air with a
maximum pressure of 200 psi. Before con-
necting the tool to the air supply, check the
air compressor regulator gauge to be sure it
is functioning properly, with a range between
70-120 psi. Air pressure higher than 120 psi
could cause injury and property damage. The
correct pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
To connect the air supply:
1. Remove the plastic plug from the tool air
inlet.
2. Insert a 3/8" NPT quick connector into
the tool air inlet.
NOTE:
To improve the seal between
the connector and the tool, and to help
protect against oxidation, apply a PTFE
tape or paste to the connector threads
before insertion.
3. Lubricate the quick connector with 2-3
drops air tool lubricant.
4. Snap the air hose onto the quick con-
nector.
5. Check for air leakage.

4. Open the magazine cover.
5. Position the pallet to the correct nail
height for the coil to be used. Read the
corresponding nail size on the back
of the magazine. If the size is not cor-
rect, pull up on the pallet and rotate it
clockwise for shorter nails or counter-
clockwise for longer nails. Verify that
the correct nail size is set.
6. Place the center of the nail coil over the
pallet post. The points of the nails must
rest on the pallet.
NOTE:
Use only recommended fasten-
ers of the correct size, length, collation
angle and head type as indicated on the
tool's nameplate.

WARNING
Always use a coupling that discharg-
es all the compressed air in the tool at
the time the fi tting or hose coupling is
disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed
air could cause unintended operation
and serious injury.
DANGER
Do not use oxygen, combustible gas-
es or bottled gases as a power source
for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing
fasteners. Failure to do so could
result in injury.
Always make sure the tool's maga-
zine is EMPTY before connecting to
the air supply. The tool may actuate
when the tool is fi rst connected to the
air supply. Always connect the tool
to the air supply before loading nails
to prevent injury from unintended
actuation.
Never install fasteners with the
workpiece contact or trigger acti-
vated. Failure to do so could result
in injury.
Use only recommended fasteners
of the correct size, length, collation
angle and head type, as indicated
on the tool's nameplate. Refer to the
"Accessories" section for informa-
tion on recommended fasteners.
Other fasteners could result in tool
malfunction, leading to injury.
7. Pull the loose end of the coil toward the
nose of the tool. Feed the heads of the
nails fl at into the nail slot. Push the fi rst
nail past the feed mechanism into the
nose of the tool.
