Nailer Connection and Operation
Lubricator

The lubricator supplies and oil mist to the nailer.

Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant is adequate.

If an inline lubricator is not used, a few drops of oil will need to be added to the nailer
inlet before each use.
3. Air Hose
Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 180 psi.
Hose has a min. ID of 1/4"(ISO 7-1) and max. length of no more than 17'(5 meter).
The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide "quick disconnecting" from the
male plug on the tool.
Operating Pressure

Recommended operating pressure range is 70 to 100 psi.

Maximum permissible operating pressure is 120 psi.

Select the operating pressure within this range for the best fastener performance. The
nail length and thickness and the hardness of the wood are factors in determining what
the pressure should be set at.

Do not exceed this recommended operating pressure.
NOTE:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in the tool.
An air filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool. Frequent,
but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added through the air
line connection will lubricate the internal parts.
WARNING
NEVER connect nailer to pressure which potentially exceed
120psi.
DO NOT USE THE WRONG FITTING ON NAILER.
The nailer and air hose must have a hose coupler so that all
pressure is removed from the nailer when the coupler is
disconnected. The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when the air supply is disconnected. If the wrong fitting is used,
the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a nail even after the air line is disconnected,
possibly causing injury.
DANGER
NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases, as an
explosion may occur.
