Warning! Make sure the Nailer is not attached to the air hose whenever loading the tool.

Operating the Nailer

1.Attach the Nailer to the air supply at the Air Plug (A-04). Start your compressor and check the pressure making sure it is set at the recommended 55-95 PSI and not to go over the maximum 95 PSI.

2.To fire, place the nose of the Nailer on the workpiece. The Nailer should not fire if the nose is not depressed. Once depressed, gently and briefly squeeze the Trigger (A-26) once. Do not fire repeatedly. Nails could bounce off of one another, damaging the work piece or causing PERSONAL INJURY.

3.If the brads are being driven too far or not far enough, adjust your air pressure regulator. Continue to adjust the air pressure until the brads are driven properly.
