Palm Nailer
1.Connect the air supply to the quick con- nect fitting.
2.Hold the nail firmly in place with one hand as if using a regular hammer.
3.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.
Note: Set the nail in position with a short burst of the nailer, then move your hand away from the nail before continuing.
4.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".
Adjusting Nail
Penetration
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/finish nailer.
To adjust the nail penetration of 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 nose tip away from the nail- er body to decrease penetration, and toward the nailer body to increase penetration.
Note: The rubber nose tip can be removed to increase nail penetration even further.

5. Connect the nailer to the air supply and test the nail penetration. If necessary, repeat this entire procedure until the nail penetration is satisfactory.
