RECOMMENDED
HOOKUP
MINIMUM COMPONENTS
REQUIRED FOR HOOKUP
Air compressor:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 70PSI when the nailer is being
used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power
and inconsistent driving.
Pressure regulator: A pressure regulator is required to
control the operating pressure of the nailer between 70PSI
and 110PSI .
Always use air supply hoses with a
minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source, or 150PSI, whichever
is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for runs up to 50 feet. Use
3/8 inch air hose for 50 feet, run or longer.

HOOKUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY
For better performance, install a 3/8 inch quick plug(1/4
inch NPT threads) with an inside diameter of 0.315 inch
(8mm) on the nailer and a 3/8 inch quick coupler on the air
hose.
With ON/OFF switch in OFF position, plug compressor
into electrical outlet.
Close pressure regulator by turning all the way to the
left. Turn compressor ON and let it pump all the way up

to automatic shut-off pressure.
Attach air hose to regulator outlet. Adjust pressure
regulator by turning to the right so that outlet pressure is
between 70PSI to 110PSI.
Load fasteners into nailer.
Point the nailer in a safe direction while attaching to air
hose.
Nailer is ready for use. You may need to adjust outlet
pressure to achieve proper fastener depth.
