Operating Nailer
If you have not read the safety instruc- tions in this manual, do not operate the nailer.
Periodically, place one drop of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply. After oil- ing, wipe off any excess oil near the nailer exhaust to avoid dust
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 3.)
Figure 3. 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 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, adjust the depth.
Adjusting Depth
The side of the magazine houses a knurled adjustment knob (illustrated in Figure 4) for setting the depth that the nailer drives nails into the workpiece.
