WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air source whenever clearing a jam. After disconnecting the tool from the air compressor, there should still be enough air pressure to fire the tool. After the air hose is disconnected, always fire the tool into scrap wood repeatedly to make sure all of the compressed air is expended.

NO-MARRING PAD: The no-marring pad attached to the nose of the tool helps prevent marring and denting when working with softer wood.

WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air resource before removing or replacing the no- marking pad or replacing the no-marking pad. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE

• The amount of air pressure required depends on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece material.
• Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
• Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 90- 95psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent results.
• It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners is adjustable.
To adjust the depth, use the drive depth adjustment wheel(C) on the tool.

1. Disconnect the tool from the air resource.
2. Tum the depth wheel left or right to change the driving depth. Reconnect the tool to the air resource.
3. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set.

CAUTION:

Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.

CAUTION: Lubricate the tool only with specified lubricants.

CLEANING

• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
• Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetration oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operations, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold-weather lubricant.

CAUTION
Do not store tools in a cold-weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tool’s operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

1. The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used.

2. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
   An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum up internal parts of the tool.

3. Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater.
   Use 3/8″ air hose for runs up to 50′. Use 1/2″ air hoses for 50′ run or longer. For better performance, install a 3/8″ quick plug (1/4″ NPT thread) with an inside diameter of .315″(8mm) on the tool and 3/8″ quick coupler on the air hose.

4. Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 70 and 115 psi.

CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.

WARNING:
Do not connect with an air compressor which can potentially exceed 200 psi. As the tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
