Firing Mechanism
The nailer should not fire when connected to the air supply unless it is fired by hitting the "whack cap" with the mallet. If the fir- ing mechanism is not working properly, the nailer could fire immediately when connected to the air supply.
Before you load your nailer for the first time, check the firing mechanism to ensure safe use.
To check the firing mechanism:
1.Make sure the nailer is disconnect- ed from the air supply!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails.
3.Place the flooring nailer on the ground with the nail aperture facing down, then connect the air hose. The nailer should not fire.
—If it does not fire, read step 4.
—If the nailer does fire, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call (570)
Point the nailer at the ground when connecting to the air supply. DO NOT aim in the direction of another person or a body part.
4.Place the base of the nailer on a scrap piece of wood that is clean and free of any knots, nails, or other foreign objects.
5.Hit the whack cap with the mallet using moderate force. The nailer should fire.
—If it does fire, then the firing mecha- nism is working properly. Continue to the next section.
—If the does not fire, then the fir- ing mechanism may not be work- ing correctly or may need service. Disconnect the nailer from the air supply and please call (570) 546- 9663 for technical support.
NOTICE
Continually firing the nailer when empty will cause internal damage. Only fire the empty nailer once or twice to ensure it is functioning properly.
