METHODS OF OPERATION
This tool is equipped with the safety and does not operate
unless the safety is depressed.
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with this
tool. They are:
1. Sequential fire
2. Contact fire (red trigger)
SEQUENTIAL FIRE
1. Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger off
the trigger.
2. Depress the safety firmly until it is completely depressed.
3. Pull the trigger to drive a nail
4. Remove finger from the trigger.
To continue nailing a separate location, move the tool along
the wood, repeating steps (2-4) as required.
CONTACT FIRE
WARNING
To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to recoil.
• Do not press the tool against the wood with excessive
force.
• Separate the tool from the wood as it recoils after
nailing.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air repetitive.
2. Remove the O-Ring from the trigger pin (FIG. 7).
3. Pull the trigger out.
4. Put the red trigger on.
5. Push the trigger pin back, using a little hammer if
necessary.

CONTACT TRIGGER LOAD
1. Pull the trigger with the tool off the workpiece.
2. Depress the safety against the workpiece to drive a nail.
3. Move the tool along the workpiece witha bouncing
motion. Each depression of the safety will drivea nail. As
soon as the desired number of nails have been driven,
remove finger from the trigger.
NOTE:
• Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are
dropped, collating bent may be broken, which will cause
mis-feeding and jamming.
• After nailing:
1. Disconnect air hose from the tool.
2. Remove all nails from the tool.
3. Supply 5-10 drops of pneumatic tool lubricant into
the air plug on the tool.
4. Open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain
any moisture
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
WARNING
DO NOT USE A FROZEN TOOL
. Allow tool to thaw before
using. Moisture frozen in the tool may impede internal
components resulting in the risk of injury and/or tool
damage.
When using the tool in cold conditions the tool will cycle
slower than usual while driving the first nails. The cycle rate
will increase as the tool warms up. Keep tool warm to avoid
reduced cycle rate.
