COLD WEATHER CARE

Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning the work.

If the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Nailer to warm up

before use.

1 Reduce the air pressure to 70 psi (4.9 bar 5.0 kgf/cm2).

2Remove all nails from the Nailer.

3Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Nailer.

The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Nailer. Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.

CAUTION:Do not free-fire the Nailer at high pressure.
