OPERATION
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving the
work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing
the tool to another person. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 5, page 15.
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases
as a power source for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed air
at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi . The correct
air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool must have an air fitting that allows all pressure
to discharge from the tool when the air hose connector is
disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use an air fitting that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the air fitting and
air hose connector is disconnected. Using an air fitting
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 quick
connector.
LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figures 6 - 8, pages 15 - 16.

Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool
is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the
tool to the air supply before loading nails 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.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool.
The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction,
leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger
activated. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.

Depress the latch located at the rear of the magazine and
slide the magazine open.

With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, insert
a strip of nails into the magazine. Be sure the nails are
pointed downward.
CORRECT NAIL POSITION

Nails should always be inserted with the points down-
ward, fitting into the nail track, or as close as possible to
the nail track.

Nail heads must sit either on the top edge of a rib or inside
a track between two ribs.

Nail heads should never lie on top of a rib without sitting on
the rib edge. Do not position nail heads in the center of a rib.

The strip of nails should not be centered in the magazine
or positioned at the top portion of the magazine.

If the nail points will not sit inside the track without sitting
incorrectly on a rib, move the nail strip up slightly until
the heads sit on the top edge of a rib.
 To close the magazine, push it forward until the latch
snaps into place. Make sure the latch is securely locked
into place before driving a nail.
