2.Connect the Framing Gun to an air supply and fire a nail into a sample piece of wood to determine the driving depth has been achieved.
3.If the nail depth is not acceptable, disconnect the tool from the air supply and

2.A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool in
such a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
Operation
1.Push the contact safety nose (1) against the work surface without depressing the trigger (4).
2.Once the nail gun has been positioned to the appropriate firing angle, depress the trigger (4) and release.
Clearing a jam
CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose and remove the nails from the magazine before clearing a jam. When the nailer becomes jammed, proceed as follows:
Air source
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 75 and 120 PSI.
The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible.
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an
DANGER. All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of at least 150 PSI or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is greater.
Maintenance
CAUTION. Always ensure that the air hose is disconnected from the tool before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

1.Insert a small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a hammer to drive out the nail jamming the ejection port. (Fig. E)
2.Reset the nails inside the magazine
3.Test the framing gun.

1.Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is
pulled or if only the contact safety nose (1) is pressed against the wood. It must work only when both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded.
2.Entering dirt or foreign matter into the tool may cause damage to the tool.
3.When not in use, disconnect the air hose.
