safety yoke of the tool onto the work surface.
3. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
safety yoke.
4. Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.

fastener has been driven.
NOTE:
If there is only one nail left in the magazine, it may
not be fully driven into the workpiece, may be bent or fall
out.
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 tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.
*ULSWKHKDQGOH¿UPO\OHWWKHWRROGRWKHZRUNDQGGR
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.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning
correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the
trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work
piece in accordance with the requirements.
Ɣ
If the fastener is protruding, increase the air
pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the
result after each new adjustment;
Ɣ
If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar
until the result is satisfactory.
Ɣ
It is preferred to adjust the depth adjustment knob
to reach the good fastening effect.
Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give

1. Energy will be saved,
2. Less noise will be produced,
3. A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be
achieved.
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the
size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener
into the same type of workpiece material used for the
actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5

DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted. It
is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to
determine the required depth for the application.

and drive a test fastener. To achieve the desired depth,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Turn the depth adjustment knob left or right to change
the driving depth.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
4. Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
REMOVING FASTENERS FROM THE TOOL
6HH¿JXUH
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
2. To remove a strip of fasteners from the tool, retract the
pusher until it reaches the end of the magazine.

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the
pusher.
3. Tilt the tool up so that the hose connector faces down.
Press the pusher button and slowly release the pusher
to the front of the magazine. The strip of fasteners will
slide back until it reaches the stopper.
4. Press the stopper and let the fasteners exit the rear of
the magazine.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER

WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before clearing a
jammed fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
If a fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the
air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while
clearing the jam.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Remove fasteners from the tool.
