Palm Nailer
1.Connect the air supply to the quick con- nect fitting.
2.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.
3.Hold the nail firmly in place with one hand as if using a regular hammer.
4.Place the tip of the palm nailer over the top of the nail. When the ram pin touches the nail head, the nailer will automatically begin to hammer the nail into place.
5.Hold the nailer in place until the sliding depth guide is completely depressed up into the nailer and the nail is fully hammered into the workpiece.
Note: You can stop the nailer at any time by simply lifting it away from the nail. This is useful if you do not want to countersink the nail into the workpiece.
If the nailer is allowed to continue hammering until it stops by itself, it will countersink the nail to an approximate depth of 2mm or 5⁄64".
DO NOT attempt to adjust the depth on your brad nailer. The nose of the brad nailer is not designed to be adjusted. Doing so could cause the safety nose mechanism to malfunction and cause personal injury.
Adjusting Framing
Nailer Depth
Depending on the type of stock and nails you are using, it may be necessary to adjust the depth of nail penetration for your framing nailer.
To adjust the depth for your framing nailer:
1.DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2.Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 8.
3.Move the safety nose away from the nailer body to decrease nail depth, and toward the nailer body to increase nail depth.
