Operating Nailer
If you have not read the safety instruc- tions in this manual, DO NOT operate the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place one drop of the included oil into the quick con- nect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2.Hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface of a piece of 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.) Deflection can cause injury if your free hand is secur- ing the workpiece in the location that the nail deflects and damage your workpiece.
Adjusting Depth
The nose of the gun houses a depth adjustment knob for setting the depth that the nailer drives nails into the workpiece.
To adjust the depth:
1.If the nail is driven too far into the workpiece, rotate the knob clockwise as shown in Figure 4)
2.If the nail is not driven far enough into the workpiece, rotate the knob counter clockwise.

4.Pull 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.
