Lubricating the Tool

Lubricate the tool with air tool lubricant before connecting the air supply. Under low use, lubricate once a day. Under heavy use, lubricate twice a day. Use only a few drops of oil at a time. Using too much oil will cause it to collect in the tool and be noticeable in the exhaust. Do not use detergent oil, WD-40, transmission fluid, motor oil, or other lubricants not specifically designated as air tool lubricant. These lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals, o-rings and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent maintenance.

Connecting the Air Supply

DANGER

Do not use oxygen, combustible gas- es or bottled gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will explode and cause death or serious injury.

WARNING

Always use a coupling that discharg- es 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 injury.

Use only clean, dry compressed air with a maximum pressure of 200 psi. Before con- necting the tool to the air supply, check the air compressor regulator gauge to be sure it is functioning properly, with a range between 70-120 psi. Air pressure higher than 120 psi could cause injury and property damage. The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.

To connect the air supply:

1.Remove the plastic plug from the tool air inlet.

2.Insert a 3/8" NPT quick connector into the tool air inlet.

NOTE: To improve the seal between the connector and the tool, and to help protect against oxidation, apply a PTFE tape or paste to the connector threads before insertion.

3.Lubricate the quick connector with 2-3 drops air tool lubricant.

4.Snap the air hose onto the quick con- nector.

5.Check for air leakage.

Installing Fastener Strips

WARNING

Always point the tool away from yourself and others when installing fasteners. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Always make sure the tool's maga- zine is EMPTY before connecting to the air supply. The tool may actuate when the tool is first connected to the air supply. Always connect the tool to the air supply before loading nails to prevent injury from unintended actuation.

Never install fasteners with the workpiece contact or trigger acti- vated. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Use only recommended fasteners of the correct size, length, collation angle and head type, as indicated on the tool's nameplate. Refer to the "Accessories" section for informa- tion on recommended fasteners. Other fasteners could result in tool malfunction, leading to injury.

1.Verify that the magazine is empty and then connect the air supply to the tool.

2.Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool away from yourself and others.

3.Feed fastener strips into the magazine and over the nail stop tab. Be sure the point of the fasteners is pointed downward.

NOTE: Use only recommended fasten- ers of the correct size, length, collation angle and head type as indicated on the tool's nameplate.

4.Slide the pusher to the rear of the maga- zine and over the nail stop tab.

5.Gently allow the pusher to slide forward, pushing the fasteners toward the driving mechanism. The pusher will stop when it rests against the end of the fastener strip.

NOTE: The fasteners must be aligned with the nose of the tool for the fasteners to be installed correctly.

Removing Fastener Strips

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing fastener strips or clearing a jammed fastener.

Keep fingers clear of fastener track of magazine. Pusher could pinch fingers, causing injury.

1.Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool away from yourself and others.

2.Disconnect the air supply from the tool.

3.To remove fasteners, press the pusher release button on the pusher and gently slide the pusher forward toward the driving mechanism.

4.Slide the nails back until they stop.

5.Press down on the fastener stop tab near the end of the magazine and slide the fasteners over the tab.

6.Remove fastener strip from the tool.

7.Reload according to "Installing Fastener Strips".
