User Manual
Operating
If you have not read the safety instructions in this manual, do not operate the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place two to three drops of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the
nailer connects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2. To test for proper nail penetration, hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that
is thick enough for the length of nails you have loaded.
3. Depress the safety yoke mechanism on your workpiece.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure your free hand and other body parts are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflection.
-Deflection is caused when grain irregularities, knots or foreign objects inside the wood cause the nail
to change its path, resulting in the nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 5.
-Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.
Figure 5. Example of nail deflection.
5. Pull the trigger.
— If the nail drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations.
— If the nail either went too far or not far enough, then go to the Adjusting Depth sub-section on this page.
DANGER! Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
Disconnect the tool from the compressed air source before loading fasteners.
Do not point the tool towards the operator or other people while changing fasteners.
Do not hold the tool with the trigger depressed while changing the fasteners. Failure to comply will lead to serious
injury or loss of life.
WARNING! Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
CAUTION!
Potential hazard that may result in moderate injury or damage to equipment.
Operate the tool with the utmost care when connected with the air compressor.
Failure to comply may result in moderate injury or damage to equipment.
Adjusting Depth
A depth adjustment knob is attached to the nose for setting the nail depth.
To adjust the depth:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2.Tum the depth wheel left or right to change the driving depth.
3.Reconnect the tool to the air source.
4.Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set.
