WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function
of the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil
by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction
to the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let
the tool do the work, and do not place second
hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine is almost empty of nails, the dry-fire
lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with nails.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the
same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 10, page 16.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is advisable
to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the
required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and
drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive
depth adjustment on the tool.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
DRIVING NAILS AT AN ANGLE
See Figure 11, page 16.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
pointed away from yourself and others.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
positioned correctly. Driving at an angle that is too steep
may:
• cause the nail to miss the workpiece
• cause the nail to ricochet
• cause the workpiece to splinter, causing the nail to come
back toward the operator.
WARNING:
Never drive a nail at an angle by tilting the tool
forward. This could lead to the fastener missing
the work surface or bouncing off the work surface,
leading to serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 12, page 16.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
To remove a strip of nails from the tool, press the release
button on the pusher. When released, the pusher will slide
forward.
NOTE:
Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine
to prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher.
Press down on the nail stop tab near the end of the
magazine and slide the nails over the tab.
Remove the nail strip from the tool.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figures 13 - 15, page 17.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
