OPERATING PROCEDURES
SETUP
AIR SOURCE
The TOOL SHOP 34° framing nailer is designed to operate on clean, dry,
compressed air, regulated at 70-100 PSI (120 Max.) The preferred system would include a filter,
a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible.
Within 15 feet (5 m) is ideal. Do not use bottled air or gases. Please see below:
PREPARING THE TOOL
1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to the air
supply.
2. Turn on the air compressor and adjust the regulator to the proper pressure for the
fastener size you are using.
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Always disconnect tool to air supply before loading fasteners.
Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety pressed.
Always wear approved safety glasses, and hearing protection when preparing
or operating the tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.

CAUTION:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a
jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing it to another person.
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm the
internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these and
significantly extend the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has sufficient oil. If
an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet at the
beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the tool’s exhaust
during firing.
Air fitting: The framing nailer should be equipped with a 1/4” NPT male ‘quick
connector’. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must
always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure in it is
released when the coupling is disconnected.
