OPERATION
WARNING! Before each use, check the nailer, compressed air connections, and air lines. If any parts are
missing or damaged, do not operate this tool until the parts are repaired and/or replaced. Failure to do so may
result in serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH-ADJUSTMENT WHEEL
The tool is equipped with a depth-adjustment wheel (Fig.
5 - 1) to set the penetration depth of the fasteners. Experi-
ment on a piece of scrap wood to find the proper depth for
your workpiece, air pressure, fastener length, etc.
• Turn the wheel clockwise to increase the firing depth.
• Turn the wheel counterclockwise to decrease the fir-
ing depth.

WARNING! Using this type of tool can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye
and hearing protection when operating this tool. Stay alert and keep proper balance at all times. Always release
the trigger when not operating the tool to reduce the risk of unintended fastener discharge.
FIRING FASTENERS
1. Check that the air supply is securely connected to the
tool, set to the correct pressure, and the fasteners have
been loaded into the magazine.
2. Test the driving depth on a scrap piece of wood. If the
fasteners penetrate too deeply, decrease the firing depth,
or adjust the regulator to lower air pressure. If the fasten-
ers penetrate too shallowly, increase the firing depth, or
adjust the regulator to higher air pressure. Try to adjust
both the air pressure regulator and the depth wheel so
that you can achieve your desired firing depth with the
lowest possible air pressure. This will save energy, reduce
noise, and reduce wear on the tool.
3. Hold the nailer upright on the workpiece and position the no-mar tip where the fastener will be driven (Fig. 6).
4. Carefully press down on the safety bracket (Fig. 6 - 1) and pull the trigger (Fig. 6 - 2) to drive a fastener.
5. Release the trigger, lift the tool off the workpiece and reposition it where the next fastener will be driven. Repeat
step 4 to drive another fastener.
6. Regularly check the fastener gauge window, and load more fasteners as necessary. Dry-firing the tool can dam-
age it, and may leave unwanted marks on your workpiece.
WARNING: If the safety bracket is not functioning as described above, stop using the tool immediately and discon-
nect it from the air supply.
7. After operation, turn off the air compressor and depressurize the compressor according to the instructions in-
cluded with your compressor. Disconnect the air hose from the nailer. Remove fasteners from the nailer.
