WARNING:  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc-
tion activites, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects

-

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

(California Health & Safety Code  25249.5,

 et seq.

Nailer

1/4” -18 NPT

For best service you should incorporate an oiler, regulator, and inline filter, as shown in the
diagram above.  Hoses, couplers, oilers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor
Freight Tools.

Warning!  Disconnect the Nailer from the air compressor whenever loading or
servicing.  After disconnecting the Nailer from the air compressor, there could still
be enough air pressure to fire the Nailer.  Always fire the trigger repeatedly to
make sure all of the air is expended.

1.  You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the
Air Inlet (33) (See 

FIGURE 1

) on the Nailer. First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included)

with pipe thread seal tape before connecting to the Air Inlet (33).  Connect the Air Source
Hose to the Air Connector (not included).

Note:  

If you are not using an automatic oiler system on your air compressor, before opera-

tion, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection.  Add a few drops more
after each hour of continual use.
2.  Set the air pressure on your compressor to between 60 and 115 PSI.  Do not exceed the
maximum air pressure of 130 PSI.
3.  Check the air connection for leaks.
