4.Slide the nails all the way down to the nose of the nailer.

5.With one hand on the magazine handle for control, release the magazine catch and slowly allow the magazine to press against the nails.

Note: Releasing the magazine catch and allowing it to "snap" in position causes undue wear and can lead to premature failure.

Operating

If you have not read the safety instructions in this manual, do not operate the nailer.

Before you operate your nailer, place five to six drops of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply, unless using a lubricator unit.

To operate your nailer, do these steps:

1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.

2.To test for proper nail penetration, 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.

DO NOT place your hands near the nail point of entry. A nail can deflect and tear through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.
