Insert a strip of nails into the magazine.
Ensure the points of the nails are facing
down. Be sure to insert the heads of the
nails into the channel. Slide the pusher
against the nails to close the magazine
(1) until it comes into contact with the
nails and locks into place. The tool is
now ready for use (Fig. E). (See nail type
icon on page 14).

Plug in compressor, turn it on and set the
pressure regulator to 90 PSI (6.2 bar).
Attach one end of the air hose to the
compressor and the other end of the air
hose (1) to the tool (2). Use plumber’s
tape to avoid air leaks (Fig. F). (Refer to
the wood density chart on page 12).
Test the driving depth using a sample
piece of wood before working on the
workpiece. If the nails are being driven
too deep or not deep enough, adjust the
regulator in order to provide more or
less air pressure, as required.
Do not operate the tool if the nails are not loaded, doing
so may damage the tool.
Do not fire nails into the air, doing so may cause injury to
the operators or others, apart from damaging the tool.
Load the correct type of nails only and do not load
different sized nails into the magazine, as doing so may
cause nails to jam. Failure to comply could lead to
serious injury or loss of life.
The MAXIMUM Air-powered Clipped-head Framing Nailer can be
operated either in manual or automatic firing mode. A black trigger is
installed to operate the nailer in manual mode, and a gray trigger is
installed to operate in automatic mode.
When the black trigger is installed, the nailer will work in single-fire
mode.
This mode is recommended when precise nail placement is required.
Operation in this mode requires trigger to be pulled each time a nail is
driven.
To actuate the nailer: first press the firing head against the work surface,
then pull the trigger.
The trigger must be released after a nail is driven, so as to allow the
nailer to reset.
This is a safer and more controlled operational mode, suitable for less
experienced users.
When the gray trigger is installed, the nailer will work in bump-fire
mode.
This mode is suitable when less precise nail placement is required. It
allows the user to work more quickly.
Press and hold the trigger while operating in this mode. Each time the
firing head contacts a workpiece, a nail is driven. Lift the nailer and
locate it at the site for the next nail.
This process can be repeated until the trigger is released. Extreme care
should be taken because a nail will be driven when the firing head
contacts any surface.
Since nails can be actuated without removing the finger from the trigger,
this is considered to be a less controlled mode, suitable for more
experienced users.
