PREPARATION

NO-mAR PAD

•   Check no-mar pad (D) is attached to the workpiece contact (C) prior to use. The no-mar pad helps 

prevent marring and denting when working with softer woods. It is subject to wear under normal use 

and may need to be replaced from time to time.

 WARNING

•   Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing or replacing the no-mar pad (D). Failure to 

do so could result in serious personal injury.

1.  The no-mar pad (D) can be removed by pulling it away 

from the workpiece contact (C).  

 

Note: 

On-board storage for the no-mar pad (D) is located 

on the magazine (E) of the tool. A second no-mar pad (D) 

is provided in the on-board storage area. 

2.  To replace the no-mar pad (D), place it over the 

workpiece contact (C) and push to reseat.

 

CONNECTING TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY

 WARNING

• 

 ALWAYS

 use a coupling that discharges all the compressed air in the tool when coupling is 

disconnected. Using a coupling that does not discharge the compressed air could cause unintended 

operation and result in serious personal injury.

•  

DO NOT

 climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool connected to an air hose. Doing so could 

result in serious personal injury.

1.  Connect quick-connect swivel connector (K) to air 

supply (not included) with a 1/4 in. female quick 

connector. 

 

Note:

 The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling 

that allows all pressure to be removed from the tool 

when coupling is disconnected.

•   This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry 

compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 

120 PSI.  

The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that will  

do the job (See Setting the Air Pressure, page 12). 

 

Note: 

Air pressure higher than 120 PSI may damage  

the tool.
