Dust, dirt and other particles
in the system can cause premature wearing of the major components. Cylinder, piston,

others when it is connected to the air supply source.
Note:
Some materials may require a higher pressure of 95-100 PSI in order to
countersink the nail.

use a defective tool. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Be sure
that the Safety Trigger and operating mechanisms operate correctly and that all screws
and seals are securely tightened at all times.
Installing A Fitting
Before using the
PORTAMATIC®
Nailer, a 3/8” NPT Fitting must be installed. The
PORTAMATIC®
Nailer has an adapter installed to accept a 3/8” NPT fitting. This
provides the owner the advantage of installing the preferred 3/8” NPT Fitting of choice.
This allows the freedom to use any configuration of quick connect 3/8” NPT Fitting.
Install the 3/8” NPT Fitting into the supplied adapter and gently tighten.
IMPORTANT:
The bottom hole of the
PORTAMATIC®
that is plugged should
NEVER
be removed. If plug is removed, the
PORTAMATIC®
Nailer will not perform
correctly and serious damage may occur.
