Operating The Nailer
Read this manual and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the nailer.
LUBRICATION
This nailer requires lubrication before using the nailer for the first time and before each use. If an inline oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.
The work surface can become dam- aged by excessive lubrication. Proper
lubrication is the owner’s responsibil- ity. Failure to lubricate the nailer prop- erly will dramatically shorten the life of the nailer and void the warranty.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer to add lubricant.
2. Turn the nailer |

inlet. Do not use detergent oils, oil additives, or
air tool oils. Air tool oils contain sol- vents which will damage the nail- er's internal components.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
Please refer to Airtool Setup (IN170102AV) for system hookup instructions.
1. The air com-
pressor must be able to main- tain a minimum of 70 psi when
the nailer is being used. An
inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent dri- ving.
2. An oiler can be used
to provide oil circula- 
tion through the nail- 
er. A filter can be 
used to remove liquid 
and solid impurities 
which can rust or 
“gum up” internal parts of the nailer.
3. Use 3/8” air hoses with a minimum
working pres-
sure of 150 psi. Use 1/2” air hoses for 50’ run or longer. For better performance, install a 3/8” quick plug (1/4” NPT threads) with an inside diameter of .315" (8mm) on the nailer and a 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.
4.Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pres- sure of 0
CONTACT TRIP SAFETY MECHANISM
The NB0040 Brad Nailer is equipped with a contact trip safety mechanism. When both the trigger and the work contact element are depressed, a fastener will be driven.
METHODS OF OPERATING A
CONTACT TRIP NAILER:
Do not touch the trigger unless dri-
ving nails. Never attach air line or carry nailer while touching the trigger. The tool could eject a fastener which will result in death or serious personal injury.
SINGLE NAIL OPERATION
This method is preferred for slower and more precise nail placement.
a. Release trigger and place nose of tool against work surface.
b. Depress the work contact element against work surface and pull trigger to drive a fas- tener.
c. Use caution to prevent tool from driving a second nail as a result of nailer recoil. Release trigger and lift tool completely
from work sur- 
face as tool recoils after each nail is driven.
MULTIPLE NAIL OPERATION
This method is preferred for faster, less precise nail placement.
a. Depress trigger while holding tool above work surface.
b. Depress work contact ele- ment by tap- ping the nose of tool against work surface in a bouncing motion.
c. Each time the work contact element is depressed, a fastener will be driven.
CHECKING THE WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)
Check the opera- tion of the Work
Contact Element (WCE) trip mechanism before each use. The WCE must move freely without binding through its entire travel distance. The WCE spring must return the WCE to its fully extended position after being depressed. Do not operate the nailer if the WCE trip mechanism is not operat- ing properly. Personal injury may occur.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer.
2. Remove all nails from the maga- zine (see Loading/
Unloading The
Nailer).
3. Make sure the trig- ger and work con-
tact element (WCE) move freely up and down without sticking or binding.
4. Reconnect air supply to the nailer.
5. Depress the Work Contact Element (WCE) against
the work surface without pulling the trigger. The nailer MUST NOT OPERATE. Do
not use the tool if it operates without pulling the trigger. Personal injury may result.
