4. With work piece contact against the work piece, pull trigger. The trigger must
operate smoothly.
5. Connect air supply and set regulator for 70 psi. DO NOT load a fastener strip.
6. Select Single Sequential Actuation Operation. Check for leaks. Without pulling
the trigger, press the work piece contact against the work piece. The tool MUST
NOT operate. Holding the tool away from the work piece, pull trigger and hold
for 5 seconds. The tool MUST NOT operate. Repeat steps several times.
Without pulling trigger, press nailer against work piece and pull trigger. The tool
MUST operate. Release trigger. Driver MUST move up.
7. Select Contact Actuation Operation. Holding nailer away from work piece, pull
trigger. The tool MUST NOT operate. While still pulling trigger, press the nailer
against work piece. The tool MUST operate.
8. If Steps 1 through 7 function properly, prepare the tool for use. Select opera-
tion mode and load fasteners.
9. Set the required depth of drive.
10. Repeat these steps daily. Test again if the nailer is dropped, jammed, etc.
USING THE AIR NAILER
To drive a nail, place the work piece
contact of the air nailer against the work
piece and pull the trigger. See Figure 6.
To avoid any unexpected nailings,
perform the operation as follows:
1. Avoid placing the work piece contact
against the work piece with excessive
force.
2. Pull the trigger fully and hold it in the
fired position for 1 to 2 seconds
before releasing the trigger. This will
give the air nailer time to completely
expend the previous nail and build
enough pressure for the next nail.

In order to prevent the surface of the work piece from being scratched or damaged,
use the nose adapter. Install nose adapter by fitting the protrusion on the inside of
adapter with notch in contact arm. See Figure 5.
Store the nose adapter in place when not being used.
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the angled
finish nailer. Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the
angled finish nailer’s firing mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can
allow the angled finish nailer to discharge a fastener while the tool is dis-
connected from the power source. Failure to comply with this warning can
result in serious or permanent injury or even death to the operator or to
bystanders.
When the air hose is disconnected, the pressure reservoir in the air nailer will dis-
charge removing any built-up air inside the tool.
REQUIRED DAILY PREPARATION
The following steps should be performed on a daily basis to ensure the angled fin-
ish nailer is operating correctly:
1. Disconnect air supply from nailer and remove fastener strip.
2. Check all screws, nuts and pins and ensure all are tight.
3. Press the pusher release button and slide back the pusher assembly
(Overriding the reload indicator). Press the work piece contact against a work
piece ensuring smooth movement.
