WARNING
Never use non-relieving
couplers and/or female quick
disconnect couplings on the
tool. Non-relieving coupling and
female couplings will trap high
pressure air in the tool when the
air line is disconnected. This will
leave the tool charged with
enough air after it has been
disconnected to drive a nail.
Only MALE pneumatic type air
connectors should be fitted to
the tool, so that high pressure
air in the tool is vented as soon
as the air line is disconnected.
5. Set the regulator at the air
delivery system to a PSI that
falls within the tool’s operating
range of 75-120 PSI. The
correct pressure is the lowest
pressure that will do the job.
OPERATION
LUBRICATION
WARNING
USE ONLY THE AIR TOOL
LUBRICANTS SUPPLIED
WITH THE TOOL. Do not use
other lubricants as they may
damage the tool. If the tool is
not used with an in-line
lubrication system on the air
supply, it is necessary to
periodically lubricate the tool
with air tool lubrication.
Under low use, lubricate once a
day. Under heavy use, lubricate
twice a day.
To lubricate, insert 2-3 drops
of lubricant into the air supply
fitting attached to the tool handle
(Figure 2). Using too much oil will
cause it to collect in the tool and
be noticeable in the exhaust.
Do not use detergent oil, WD-40,
transmission fluid, motor oil, or
other lubrication not specifically
designed as air tool lubricants.
These lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals, O-
rings, and bumpers in the tool,
resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent
maintenance.
ADJUSTING AIR
PRESSURE
Adjust the air pressure at
recommended operating
pressure, 75-120 PSI, according
to the length of nails and the
hardness of the work piece.
The correct air pressure is the
lowest pressure that will do the
job. Using the tool at a higher
than required air pressure
unnecessarily over stresses the
tool. Do not exceed 120 PSI and
do not go under 75 PSI.
CONNECTING AIR
SUPPLY
WARNING
Never use oxygen or other bottled
gases as a power source.
Explosions may occur.
Combustible gases are dangerous
and may cause the tool to explode.
WARNING
Never connect the tool to an air
source that is capable of producing
air pressure exceeding 200 PSI.
Excessive pressure can cause
abnormal operation or cause the
tool to burst, resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING
Do not exceed maximum
recommended air pressure marked
on the tool. Verify prior to using the
tool that the air source has been
adjusted within the rated air
pressure range. Be sure the air
pressure gauge is operating
properly and check it at least twice
a day. Tools operated in excess of
their maximum pressure rating may
operate abnormally or burst,
resulting in personal injury.
To connect the tool to the
compressor, only use pneumatic air
hoses that meet the following
criteria:
1. Maximum hose pressure
rating: 200 PSI
2. Minimum hose inner diameter:
1/4 inch
3. Maximum hose length: 100
feet
