Preparing the Tool for USE, Adjusting the Exhaust

OPERATION

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection. Eye protection does not fit all operators in the same way. Make sure the eye protection chosen has side shields or provides protection from flying debris both from the front and sides.

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE

See Figure 2.

Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool lu- bricant into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.

Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of 70- 120 psi.

NO-MAR PAD

See Figure 3.

The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps prevent marring and denting when working with softer woods.

WARNING:

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

The pad for the framing nailer can be removed by pulling it open and away from the side of the toe-nailing claw. To re- place the pad, fit it into place over the points of the claw.

On-board storage for the pad is located on the body of the tool.

ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST

See Figure 4.

The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator preference.

To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
