IMPORTANT: A trigger, which will limit the tool to “single sequential actuation” only, is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-731-660-9374 outside the United States and Canada, and providing tool model number, type, serial number, etc. For identification purposes: the single sequential actuation trigger is red.

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair.

The depth to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment

knob (A) Fig. 25. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nominal setting.

Test fire a fastener and check

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

depth. If a change is desired, rotate

 

 

 

 

 

the adjustment knob (A) Fig. 25. The

 

 

 

 

 

adjustment knob has detents every

 

 

 

 

 

1/4 turn. Rotate the knob (A) Fig. 25

 

 

 

 

 

counterclockwise to increase the

 

 

 

 

 

depth of drive, rotate the knob

 

 

 

 

 

clockwise to decrease the depth of

 

 

 

 

 

drive. Test fire another fastener and

 

 

 

 

 

check depth. Repeat as necessary

A rubber nose cushion (A) Fig. 26 is provided to reduce marring of the work surface. The rubber cushion can be removed, and stored inside knob (B) Fig. 27, to provide increased depth-of-drive for toe-nailing applications.

Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or reinstalling rubber cushion.
