Install a filter, regulator, lubricator unit and moisture trap on your air delivery system per
the manufacturer's instructions for these devices. Additionally, install a pressure gauge as
close as practical to the tool, preferably within 10 feet. Select hoses with a minimum inner
diameter of 1/4 inches and a maximum length of 100 feet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from a hose bursting, select hoses that are
rated at least 200PSI.
Select fittings that are appropriate size for the selected hoses. The tool and air hose must
have a hose coupling so that all pressure is removed from the tool when the
coupling joint is disconnected.
WARNING:
Never use non relieving couplers and/or female quick disconnect
couplings on the tool. Non relieving couplings 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 to
atmosphere as soon as the air line is disconnected.
Set the regulator at the air delivery system to a PSI that falls within the tool's operating
range of 60-110PSI. The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
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 plug attached to the tool handle. 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 lubricants not
specifically designated 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.
Air Supply
Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 60-110PSI according to the
length of nails and the hardness of workpiece. The correct air pressure is the lowest
pressure which will do the job. Using the tool at a higher than required air pressure
unnecessarily over stresses the tool. Don't exceed 115PSI.
WARNING:
Never use oxygen or other bottled gases as a power source. Explosion
may occur. Combustible gases and other bottled 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
