The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that
allows all pressure to be removed from the tool when the
coupling is disconnected.
WARNING
Always use a coupling that discharges all the

hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause
unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female

tool to a pressurized air supply before loading fasteners
to prevent injury from unintended cycling. Always make
sure the tool’s magazine is empty at the beginning of
each work session, before connecting to an air supply.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2. Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the magazine.
3. With the safety yoke of the tool pointed away from you,
feed a strip of fasteners into the magazine. Be sure the
fasteners are pointed downward.
WARNING
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading fasteners. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
4. Release the pusher and allow it to push the fasteners
up to the driving mechanism. The pusher will stop
when it rests against the end of the fastener strip.
NOTE:
Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.
WARNING
Use only the fasteners recommended for use with this
tool. The use of any other fasteners can result in tool
malfunction, leading to serious injuries.
WARNING
Never load fasteners with the safety yoke or trigger
activated. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use fasteners with shank diameter smaller

fasteners to exit the tool prematurely through the guide
track. Do not use hardened fasteners with pneumatic
tools. This could lead to excessive wear of the guide
body and allow fasteners to exit the back of the guide
body, leading to serious personal injury.
