CAUTION!
Potential hazard that may result in injury or damage to equipment.
• If the trigger is pressed a second time, the recoil of the nailer may lift the safety stand enough to allow a second nail to be
fired, even if the operator has not lifted the tip of the safety stand.
• Operate the tool with the utmost care when it is connected with the air compressor. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to
equipment.
Cold weather operation
When operating any air-powered tool below freezing temperature:
• Verify that the compressor tanks have been properly drained prior to use.
• Keep the tool as warm as possible using any safe, convenient method.
• Place up to 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the tool
’
s air inlet.
• Maintain the operating level of the air pressure as recommended (see section
“
Technical Specifications
”
).
• Load the nails into the magazine (if required).
• Actuate the tool 5 to 6 times into a scrap wooden piece in order to lubricate the O-rings.
• Adjust the pressure up to the operating level (do not exceed 120 PSI) and use the tool normally.
• Relubricate the tool, as described in the maintenance section.
• Drain the compressor tanks at least once per day.

• Lubrication: If the Air-powered Brad Nailer and the compressor are not equipped with an in-line
lubrication system, place up to 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after
every 2 hours of continuous use, depending on the characteristics of the workpiece and type of fasteners
used.
• Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically and worn or broken parts must be replaced in order to
keep tools operating safely and efficiently.
• Inspect and replace worn or damaged O-rings, seals, etc. Tighten all screws and caps frequently in order to help prevent personal
injury.
