EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying
particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work
area when loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment
must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and
provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do
not provide adequate protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of tool while the air supply
is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.

and depress bottom part of knob
(B) in a clockwise direction to
release pusher.
The DIAL-A-DEPTH™ Fastener Control adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth; from flush with the
work surface to shallow or deep countersink. First, set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as described on page
8, then use the DIAL-A-DEPTH™ Fastener Control adjustment to give the desired depth of drive.
TO ADJUST DIAL-A DEPTH™ FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT:
“DIAL-A-DEPTH
™
” FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Always disconnect air supply: 1. Before making adjustments; 2. When servicing the tool; 3. When clearing a jam;
4. When tool is not in use; 5. When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
1. With air pressure set (refer to Setting the Correct Pressure on (Page 8), drive a few fasteners
into a representative material sample to determine if adjustment is necessary.
2. If adjustment is required, disconnnect air supply.
3. Refer to label on outside of door for direction to turn adjusting nut. (See illustration)
4. Open trip cover and turn adjusting nut as shown to set the desired fastener countersink depth.
5. Close cover. Before reconnecting air supply, check that trip mechanism parts operate freely
with no binding or sticking.
