AIR SUPPLY LINE

• Refer to Figure 1 (page 3).

• The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from 70 to110PSI.

• Never exceed maximum pressure.
  Air Delivery Required: 1.41 SCFM @ 90 PSI (30 shots per minute).
  WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area of tool when connecting air supply. Always disconnect tool from air supply when servicing or adjusting tool and when tool is not in use.

• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated compressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance and long life.

• Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will damage tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.

• Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not removed from compressed air.

• A filter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be located as close to tool as possible (see Figure 1, page 3). A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended.

• Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure to the tool causing a reduction in power and efficiency.

• The air supply system must be able to provide air pressure of 70 to 110 pounds per square inch at tool.

• The lubricator should be filled with a non-detergent air tool oil.

• All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean and free of moisture and foreign particles.

• Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.

• The air pressure should be properly regulated.

• Different workpiece materials and different fastener lengths will require different operating pressure.

• Be sure all connections in air supply system are sealed to prevent air loss.

• Never connect a female quick-disconnect coupling to the tool side of air system. A male, free-flow coupling should be connected to the tool side of air system.

WARNING: The female coupling provides a seal preventing The female coupling provides a seal preventing  oss of compressed air from compressor tank when disconnected from male coupling. If connected to tool side of air supply, the female coupling could seal a compressed air charge in the tool which could discharge if the tool trigger is actuated.

LOADING
Refer to Figures 2 & 5 (pages 3 and 6).

WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply. Always load with nose of tool pointing away from you and others. Always wear safety goggles that comply with United  States ANSI Z87.1.

NOTE: For best results use Sears fasteners only.

• Insert fasteners into magazine (see Figure 2).
  
  Figure 2
  Loading Nails

• Slide pusher housing (Fig. 5, No. 65) towards rear of tool until it locks into position behind the fasteners.

NAILING OPERATION

Refer to Figures 3 & 5 (pages 3 and 6)

WARNING: Never operate tool unless contact trip is in contact with workpiece. Do not operate tool without fasteners or damage to tool may result. Never fire fasteners into the air because fasteners may injure operator or others and damage to tool may result.

• The air tool is equipped with a contact trip safety mechanism (see Figure 3,
  
  Figure 3
  Contact Trip Operation
  page 3) that disables tool unless contact trip is pushed against work. Hold body firmly and press contact trip on workpiece where fastener is to be applied. Pull trigger to drive fastener into workpiece.

• The tool can also be operated by holding trigger depressed and pushing contact trip against workpiece. This operating procedure provides rapid-fire fastener driving. Never operate tool unless contact trip is in contact with workpiece.

• The driven depth of the fastener can be changed by turning the knob (Fig. 5, No. 46) in either direction.

• The air tool is equipped with a rotating switch (Fig. 5, No. 40) that can be used to lock the trigger (L), set to rapid-fire mode (C), or single-fire mode (S). When the switch is set to “S”, the tool will not drive a second fastener until the trigger is fully released and pulled again.
  WARNING: All air power fastening tools recoil when operated. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool may bounce from recoil causing a second, unwanted fastener to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. This will allow recoil of tool to bounce away from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.

CONTACT TRIP PAD

Refer to Figure 5 (page 6). The tool is equipped with a contact trip pad (Fig. 5, No. 48) that prevents marring of finished surfaces by the contact trip during normal operation. The pad can be removed and stored when it is not required.

CAUTION: Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or reinstalling contact trip pad.

QUICK RELEASE NOSE

Refer to Figure 5 (page 6). The tool is equipped with a quick release nose for clearing jammed fasteners.

• If a fastener jams in the tool, disconnect the air supply from the tool. Open the magazine and remove any fasteners. Pull the nose cover latch (Fig. 5, No. 53) down and release the nose cover. Remove the jammed fastener and secure the latch. Reload the fasteners and reconnect the air supply.

OPERATING PRESSURE

• Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air pressure in excess of that which is required will make the operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or damage to the tool.
• Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface. Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.

EXHAUST DEFLECTOR

Refer to Figures 4 & 5 (pages 4 and 6).

• Exhaust deflector can be positioned to point in any direction (full 360 ° movement). Reposition deflector (Fig. 5, No. 2) by grasping firmly and rotating to the desired position.
  
  Figure 4 – Exhaust Deflector Adjustment

MAINTENANCE

Refer to Figure 5 (page 6).

LUBRICATION

Lubricate tool daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line lubricator is used, place five or six drops of oil into body (Fig. 5, No. 36) through male quick disconnect of tool everyday.

MAGAZINE AND PISTON/RAM

• Keep magazine and contact trip area clean and free of any dirt, lint or abrasive particles. The tip of the ram (Fig. 5, No. 18) can become dented or rounded over time.
• Square off the tip of the ram with a clean, fine hand file to extend the life of the ram and tool. Fastener firing will be more consistent if the ram tip is kept clean and square.

SAFETY MECHANISM

Inspect contact trip safety mechanism daily for proper operation. Do not operate tool if mechanism is not operating properly. With the switch (Fig. 5, No. 40) in the rapid-fire mode, perform the following procedures to test safety mechanism:

• Leave trigger untouched while pushing contact trip into workpiece. Tool must not fire.
• Pull trigger while contact trip is clear of work and pointed away from operator and others. Tool must not fire.
• Depress and hold trigger. Push contact trip against work where fastener is needed. The tool should drive only one fastener each time the contact trip is pushed against workpiece.

If contact trip mechanism does not operate properly, repair tool immediately through Sears Service Center.

Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use the parts list to order parts.

REBUILD KITS

Rebuild kits are available as spare parts, (see page 7). Tools should be rebuilt if tool fails to operate properly after extended use. See troubleshooting to determine required replacement parts.

Disconnect tool from air supply before attempting repair or adjustment.

NOTE: When replacing O-rings or cylinder, lubricate with air tool oil before assembly.
