OPERATION IN SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
To select the Single Sequential Actuation Mode (see
Figure 1): 

1. Press and hold the red Actuation Selector embedded

in the trigger.

2. Rotate Actuation Selector down to the Single

Sequential Actuation (T).

3. Release Actuation Selector, ensuring locking tab is

fully seated in the slot.

Ensure selector has locked into position. Ensure 

actuation process is fully understood before attempting to use brad nailer.

TO USE THE BRAD NAILER IN SINGLE SEQUENTIAL 
ACTUATION MODE:
1. Firmly grip brad nailer handle.

2. Position brad nailer work piece 

contact on work piece surface.

3. Push brad nailer against work piece

compressing work piece contact.

4. Pull trigger on brad nailer to drive

nail. The brad nailer will recoil away
from the work piece as nail is driven.

5. Remove finger from trigger and lift

brad nailer away from surface of work
piece.

OPERATION IN CONTACT ACTUATION MODE

When using contact actuation mode, be careful of unin-

tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the work piece contact is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work
piece.

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 BRAD NAILER 

Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safe-
ty glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of

the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the brad nail-
er. 
All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to the require-
ments 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.

SELECT TRIGGER ACTUATION MODE

The brad nailer is equipped with a selectable trigger. This allows the selection of
Single Sequential Actuation Mode or Contact Actuation Mode.
