The pneumatic nailers/staplers are shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover damaged after delivery, please call Customer Service immediately for advice.
Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Otherwise filing a claim can be difficult.
Carefully remove the items packed in the carton. It may be a good idea to save the carton and packing material in case it might be needed in the future. Upon removal of all items from the pack- age, you should have:
1.Nail Nailer
2.Allen Wrenches
3.Oil Bottle
4.Air Fitting
NOTE
Please keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied that the machine is in good condition. Should you need to file a freight claim, the carrier’s agent will require inspec- tion of those materials. Settling a claim can be difficult if packaging is not available.
If the air fitting is not already screwed in, first be sure the threads are wrapped with teflon tape and then screw it in the back. Teflon tape is available at most hardware stores.
To connect the air hose to the air nozzle at the rear of the nailer:
1.Pull back on the female hose connector sleeve.
2.Press the fitting onto the nailer air nozzle and release the sleeve. The female fitting will lock onto the male nailer fitting.
3.Listen for any air leaks. If no leaks are detected, you are ready to test fire the nailer.
Air pressure should be set at the minimum required to set the fastener and must not exceed 90 p.s.i.
Consistently operating at unnecessarily high pressures will put excessive stress on internal parts which will lead to premature nailer failure.
Be sure that your air compressor is proper- ly grounded. If you are unsure of the quality and condition of the circuit you intend to use, have it inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician. Failure to ensure prop- er grounding could result in serious injury and/or equipment damage.
