To operate your nailer:
1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2.Test the loaded nailer for proper pen- etration. Hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of nails you have loaded. Depress the safety yoke mechanism on your workpiece.
3.Before pressing the trigger, make sure your free hand is positioned out of the way of a potential path of a nail in case of deflection. (Deflection is caused when the nail changes its path, resulting in the nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece as shown in Figure 4.)
Figure 4. Example of nail deflection.
Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the staple/nail deflects.
4.Press the trigger. If the nail drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations. If the nail either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will make the nail go deeper and less air pressure will decrease the nail penetration.
Clearing Jammed Nails
The most frequent situation with any type of nailer is a jammed nail. A jam must be cleared before using the nailer again. The two places where a jam can occur is the magazine and the discharge area.
Always disconnect air from the nailer whenever clearing a jam!
To clear a jam from the magazine:
1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!
2.Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all the way back.
3.Locate and remove the jammed nail with a pair of needle nose pliers. Close the magazine cover so it latch- es.
To clear a jam from the discharge area:
1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!
2.Remove all of the nails from the mag- azine.
3.The jammed nail should now be visi- ble; remove it from the discharge area with needle nose pliers.
4.Replace the nails. Push the magazine closed and snap the quick release latch back into operating position.
