Depending on the type of stock and nails
you are using, it may be necessary to
adjust the depth of nail penetration for your
framing/finish nailer.
To adjust the nail penetration of your
framing nailer:
1.
DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2.
Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the
cap screw shown in
Figure 8
.
3.
Move the nose tip away from the nail-
er body to decrease penetration, and
toward the nailer body to increase
penetration.
Note:
The rubber nose tip can be
removed to increase nail penetration
even further.

4.
Re-tighten the cap screw, then connect
the nailer to the air supply and test the
nail depth.
5.
Connect the nailer to the air supply and
test the nail penetration. If necessary,
repeat this entire procedure until the
nail penetration is satisfactory.

1.
Connect the air supply to the quick con-
nect fitting.
2.
Hold the nail firmly in place with one
hand as if using a regular hammer.
3.
Place the tip of the palm nailer over
the top of the nail. When the ram pin
touches the nail head, the nailer will
automatically begin to hammer the nail
into place.
Note:
Set the nail in position with a
short burst of the nailer, then move
your hand away from the nail before
continuing.
4.
Hold the nailer in place until the sliding
depth guide is completely depressed
up into the nailer and the nail is fully
hammered into the workpiece.
Note:
You can stop the nailer at any
time by simply lifting it away from
the nail. This is useful if you do not
want to countersink the nail into the
workpiece.
If the nailer is allowed to continue
hammering until it stops by itself, it will
countersink the nail to an approximate
depth of 2mm or
5
⁄
64
".
