pressure exceeding 200PSI. Excessive pressure can cause abnormal operation or cause 

the tool to burst, resulting in personal injury.

WARNING: 

Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure marked on the tool. 

Verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted within the rated air-

pressure rang. Be sure the air pressure gauge is operating properly and check it at least 

twice a day. Tools operated in excess of their maximum pressure rating may operate 

abnormally or burst resulting in personal injury. To connect the tool to the compressor only 

use pneumatic air hoses that meet the following criteria: 

Minimum hose pressure rating, 200PSI.

Minimum hose inner diameter, 1/4 in.

Maximum hose length, 100 ft.

Connect the air supply. 

 

• Snap the air hose onto the quick connector.

 

• Check for air leakage. If leakage is noted, stop using the tool immediately and 

 

   performed by qualified repair personnel.

 • 

Be sure the air pressure gauge is operating properly and check it at least twice a day.

Tool Testing

Before actually beginning the nailing work, test the tool by using the check list below. 

Conduct the test in the following order.

If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the tool and performed by qualified repair 

personnel immediately.

1. Disconnect air hose from tool. Remove all nails from tool. All screws must be tightened. 

If any screws are loose, tighten them. The safety and trigger must move smoothly.

2. Adjust the air pressure to 60PSI, connect the air hose. Do not load any nails in the tool. 

The tool must not leak air.

3. Remove the finger from the trigger and press the safety against the wood. The tool 

must not operate.

4. Separate the safety from the wood. Next, point the tool downward, pull the trigger and 

then wait in that position for 5 seconds or longer. The tool must not operate.

5a. Without touching the trigger, depress the safety against the workpiece. Pull the 

trigger. The tool must operate.

 b. Hold the trigger back while separating the safety from the wood. The tool will 

remain in operated status(the driver blade will remain at the bottom).

 c. Remove the finger from the trigger. Tool operation will end (the driver blade will 

return to the top).

6. If no abnormal operation is observed, you may load nails in the tool. Drive nails into 

the workpiece that is the same type to be used in the actual application. The tool 

must operate properly.
