2.  Grip  the  tool  firmly  to  maintain  control.  Position  the 

safety yoke of the tool onto the work surface.

3.  Push the tool against the work surface to depress the 

safety yoke.

4.  Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.

5.  Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as 

the fastener is driven.

6.  Always remove your finger from the trigger after the  

fastener has been driven.

 wARNINg

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately 

after driving a fastener. this is a normal function of 

the tool.

 Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding 

the tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can 

result in a second fastener being driven from the tool. 

Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do 

not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust 

at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in 

serious personal injury.

settINg the AIR pRessURe

Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning 

correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the 

trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work 

piece in accordance with the requirements.

 

● If the fastener is protruding, increase the air 

pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the 

result after each new adjustment;

 

● If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth, 

reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar 

until the result is satisfactory.

 

● It is preferred to adjust the depth adjustment knob 

to reach the good fastening effect.

Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give 

you three significant advantages;
1.  Energy will be saved,

2.  Less noise will be produced,

3.  A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be 

achieved.

The amount of air pressure required will depend on the 

size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener 

into the same type of workpiece material used for the 

actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5 

bar (90 - 95 psi). Raise or lower the air pressure to find 

the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent 

results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air 

pressure  adjustments  alone.  If  finer  adjustments  are 

needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.

DRIve Depth ADjUstMeNt

See figure 7.

The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted. It 

is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to 

determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure 

and drive a test fastener. To achieve the desired depth, 

use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2.  Turn the depth adjustment knob left or right to change 

the driving depth.

3.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

4.  Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the 

desired depth is set.

ReMOvINg FAsteNeRs FROM the tOOl

See figure 8.

1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

 wARNINg

Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the 

magazine before performing maintenance. Failure to do 

so could result in serious personal injury.

2.  To remove a strip of fasteners from the tool, retract the 

pusher until it reaches the end of the magazine. Hold 

the pusher in place.

NOte:

  Always  keep  fingers  clear  of  fastener  track  of 

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the 

pusher.
3.  Holding your left hand underneath the rear of the 

magazine, tilt the tool up so that the hose connector 

faces down. The fasteners will slide back and exit the 

rear of the magazine.

See figure 9.

 wARNINg

Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the 

magazine before clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to 

do so could result in serious personal injury.

If a fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the 

air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while 

clearing the jam.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2.  Remove fasteners from the tool.

3.  Pull up on the latch and open the jam release.

4.  Insert  a  flat  blade  screwdriver  into  the  driving 

mechanism and push the driver mechanism back, 

freeing the fastener jam.

5.  Remove the bent fastener.

6.  Close the jam release and latch.
