There are two methods of
operation to drive nails with this
tool: sequential fire and contact
fire (red trigger).
SEQUENTIAL FIRE
1. Position the nail outlet on the
work piece with finger off the
trigger.
2. Depress the safety firmly
until it is completely depressed.
3. Pull the trigger to drive a
nail.
4. Remove finger from trigger.
To continue nailing in a separate
location, move the tool along the
wood, repeating steps 2-4 as
required.
CONTACT FIRE
WARNING
To avoid double firing or
accidental firing due to recoil:
• Do not press the tool against
the wood with excessive force.
• Separate the tool from the
wood as it recoils after nailing.
CONTACT TRIGGER
LOAD
1. Disconnect the tool from the
air source.
2. Remove the O-ring from the
trigger pin (Fig 6).
3. Pull the trigger out.
4. Put the red trigger on.
5. Push the trigger pin back,
using a small hammer, if
necessary.
6. Put the O-ring back to fasten
the trigger pin.
7. Reattach the tool to the air
supply.
8. Grip the tool firmly to
maintain control. Position the
nose of the tool onto the work
surface.
9. Squeeze and hold the
trigger, push the tool against
the work surface to depress the
work piece contact and drive a
nail.
BOUNCE FIRE
1. Pull the trigger with the tool off
the work piece.
2. Depress the safety against the
work piece to drive a nail.
3. Move the tool along the work
piece with a bouncing motion.
Each depression of the safety
will drive a nail. As soon as the
desired number of nails has been
driven, remove your finger from
the trigger.
NOTE:
• Always handle nails and
package carefully. If nails are
dropped, the collating bond may
be broken, which will cause
misfeeding
and jamming.
• After nailing:
1. Disconnect the tool from the
air supply.
2. Remove all nails from the
tool.
3. Supply 5-10 drops of
pneumatic tool lubricant into
the air plug on the tool.
4. Open the petcock on the air
compressor tank to drain any
moisture.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
WARNING
DO NOT USE A FROZEN
TOOL. Allow the tool to thaw
before using. Moisture frozen in
the tool may impede internal
components resulting in the risk
of injury and/or tool damage.
When using the tool in cold
conditions, the tool will cycle
slower than usual while driving
the first nails. The cycle rate will
increase as the tool warms up.
Keep the tool warm to avoid
reduced cycle rate.
ADJUSTING THE NAILING
DEPTH
WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air
source before making
adjustments. Such precautionary
measures reduce the risk of
unintentional tool operation.
1. Disconnect the tool from the
air supply.
2. Remove the nails from the
tool.
3. Adjust tool driving depth:
• To reduce nail depth, turn
