USING CONTACT ACTUATION TRIGGER
1. Firmly grip roofing nailer
handle.
2. Position roofing nailer work piece
contact on work piece surface.
3. Push roofing nailer against work
piece compressing work piece con-
tact.
4. Pull trigger on roofing nailer to drive
nail. The roofing nailer will recoil
away from the work piece as nail is
driven.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF NAILING
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A pro-
truding nail may cause injury.
Adjust the depth of nailing by turning the adjust-
ment knob (Figure 1, Item 1) to the left (A) for
the deepest setting and to the right (B) for the
shallowest setting. To increase the depth of the
nails, when the adjustment knob is already set
to its highest setting, increase the air pressure.
To decrease the depth of nails when the adjust-
ment knob is already set to its lowest setting,
decrease the air pressure. Should nails be driv-
en too deep even when the adjustment knob is
set at its lowest setting, decrease the air pres-
sure. In general, the roofing nailer will have a
longer service life when the adjustment knob is
set a lower setting causing less wear and tear
on the driving mechanism.
Always disconnect the air nailer before making any
adjustments to the nail depth knob.

To improve the connection between the quick disconnect and air nailer, and to help
prevent oxidation, apply PTFE tape or joint compound to the connector threads
before insertion.
3. Snap the air hose onto the quick disconnect on the air nailer. Check for air leaks.
LUBRICATION
To ensure maximum performance, it is recommended to install an air set (oiler, reg-
ulator, and air filter) as close as possible to the air nailer. Adjust the oiler so that
approximately one drop of oil will be released for every 50 nails.
If an air set is not used or is unavailable, oil the tool using pneumatic tool oil by plac-
ing 2 or 3 drops into the air inlet. This should be done before and after use. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired several times after the oil is introduced to
the filter.
OPERATING THE ROOFING NAILER
Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper
safety glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments
of the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the roof-
ing nailer. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to the
requirements of the american national standards institute (ANSI) z87.1. Failure
to comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent damage to the
ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness in the eyes.
Always disconnect the air hose before making adjustments or checking the
functionality of the air nailer.
