Unpacking

When unpacking, check to make sure the parts listed on page 10 are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.

Warning! Disconnect the Nailer from the air compressor whenever loading or servicing. After disconnecting the Nailer from the air compressor, there could still be enough air pressure to fire the Nailer. Always fire the trigger repeatedly to make sure all of the air is expended.

Set Up

1/4” Air Connector (not included)

Nailer

1/4” -18 NPT

For best service you should incorporate an oiler, regulator, and inline filter, as shown in the diagram above. Hoses, couplers, oilers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor Freight Tools.

1.You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air Plug (41) on the Nailer. First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before connecting to the Air Source Hose (not included). Connect the Air Source Hose to the Air Plug (41).

Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system on your air compressor, before operation, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Remove the air line at the inlet and put 2 or 3 drops of good quality air tool oil into the air fitting each day of use. With heavy, prolonged use, do this at least twice a day.

2.Set the air pressure on your compressor to 60-125 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 125 PSI.

Note: About Air Consumption - CFM Air fastening tools are classified as “intermittent use”, and, as such, may be operated by compressors of almost any size. Small, portable units may not be suitable for high volume work, but will satisfactorily power the nailer for work at a slower rate. The air demand of any fastening tool depends largely upon how quickly the tool is to be used. PRESSURE - Use the lowest air pressure that will sufficiently drive the fastener into the wood. This will depend on the density of the wood, and upon the size and length of the nails being used. Vary the air pressure to adjust the driven depth, without exceeding hte maximum air pressure of 125 PSI.

3. Check the air connection for leaks.
