WARNINg
Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed
air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped with
quick-action connectors.
WARNINg
Check for proper functioning by applying the safety yoke
of the fastener driving tool to a piece of wood or wooden
material and actuating the trigger once or twice.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120
psi). The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
NOtE:
Air pressure that is higher than 8.3 bar (120 psi)
may damage the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that
allows all pressure to be removed from the tool when the
coupling is disconnected.
WARNINg
Always use a coupling that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause
unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNINg
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female
quick connector. For maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in.
supply line and fittings are required.

WARNINg
Only those fasteners specified under Specifications
may be used. When filling the magazine, hold the
tool so that the safety yoke is not pointing towards the
operator or any other person or animals.
WARNINg
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool
is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the
tool to a pressurized air supply before loading fasteners
to prevent injury from unintended cycling. Always make
sure the tool’s magazine is empty at the beginning of
each work session, before connecting to an air supply.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2. Release the magazine lock and slide open the
magazine.
3. With the safety yoke of the tool pointed away from you,
feed a strip of fasteners into the magazine. Be sure the
fasteners are pointed downward.
– To fill the tool with nails, place a strip of nails in the
channel with the nail tips pointing down. Ensure
that the nail tips rest on the bottom of the channel
and the nail heads are seated in the slot.
– To fill the tool with staples, insert the shanks of a
strip of staples into both channels of the magazine.
Ensure that the crowns rest on the top of the
magazine.
WARNINg
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading fasteners. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
4. Close the magazine.
WARNINg
Use only the fasteners recommended for use with this
tool. The use of any other fasteners can result in tool
malfunction, leading to serious injuries.
WARNINg
Never load fasteners with the safety yoke or trigger
activated. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNINg
Do not use fasteners with shank diameter/width smaller
than that stated in Specifications. Doing so may cause
fasteners to exit the tool prematurely through the guide
track. Do not use hardened fasteners with pneumatic
tools. This could lead to excessive wear of the guide
body and allow fasteners to exit the back of the guide
body, leading to serious personal injury.
