of the tool against the work surface.
4. Pull the trigger lock and then squeeze the trigger to
drive a fastener.
5. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven.

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.
*ULSWKHKDQGOH¿UPO\OHWWKHWRROGRWKHZRUNDQGGR
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.
Ɣ If the fastener is protruding, increase the air
pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the
result after each new adjustment;
Ɣ If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar
until the result is satisfactory.
Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give

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

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.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
6HH¿JXUH
The tool is factory-set to its maximum depth. The driving
depth of the fastener may be adjusted to a more shallow
depth. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece
to determine the required depth for the application.

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Using a 3 mm hex key, loosen the two bolts on the
front plate. Do not remove the bolts.
3. Slide the front plate toward the nose slightly.
Adjustment is accomplished with very little movement
of the front plate.
4. The plate should be positioned so that it cannot slip
over the bolts.
5. Tighten the bolts securely with the hex key.
6. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
7. Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
REMOVING FASTENERS FROM THE TOOL
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, release
the magazine latch and slide open the magazine.
3. Remove the fasteners from the magazine.

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the
pusher.
4. Close the magazine.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
6HH¿JXUH
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. Using a 3 mm hex wrench, remove the two bolts and
front plate.
4. If the driver blade prevents removal of bent fasteners

gently tap the driver blade backwards past the jammed
fastener.
5. Remove the jammed fastener and make sure the nail
track is free of bent fasteners or fragments.
