SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important safety instructions
WARNING:
Always take basic safety precautions when using compressed air tools to safeguard against the risk of personal injury. This power tool is intended for specific applications. The equipment must not be modified and/or used for any other area of use than that intended. Contact your dealer if you have any questions about using the equipment.
- Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas increase the risk of injury.
- Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to operate the tool.
- Wear eye protection. To prevent eye injuries, the user and others in the work area must wear safety glasses with fixed side protection. Safety glasses must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Approved safety glasses are marked with the code Z87.
- Wear ear protection. High noise levels in the work area can cause hearing impairment.
- Only use clean, dry and regulated compressed air at 70–120 PSI (4.8 to 8.3 bar).
- Do not connect the tool to a pressure system if there is a risk that the pressure will exceed 180 PSI (12.3 bar).
- Only use an air hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
- Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gas to power the tool. This could lead to explosion and serious personal injury.
- Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the rear of the tool. If the tool is not operating correctly, it may still be charged with air after disconnection from the air pressure supply, and may still be able to drive a nail and thus cause personal injury.
- Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool or handing it over to someone else.
- Always inspect the tool carefully for damage before use. Never use the tool if it is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts or requires repair.
- Never use the tool if a safety mechanism, trigger or springs are missing, damaged or inoperable. Do not alter or remove the safety mechanism, trigger or springs. Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism daily to ensure they work correctly.
- Do not use the tool if the safety warning label is missing. If the label is missing, contact your local dealer.
- Only use parts and nails recommended by us.
- Always connect the tool to the air supply before loading fasteners. This is to prevent a nail from being fired during connection. The driving mechanism may be activated when the tool is connected to the air supply. Empty the magazine when the tool is not being used.
- Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Never point the tool at your body or at anyone else. Do not play with the tool. It is a work implement and not a toy.
- To prevent accidental firing, do not load fasteners when the trigger is squeezed or if the safety mechanism is disengaged.
- Remove your finger from the trigger when you are not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger, as the tool will fire a fastener if the safety mechanism is pressed in while the trigger is squeezed.
- Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance when using the tool.
- Only fire fasteners into the work surface, never into materials that are too hard to penetrate.
- Grip the tool firmly but do not try to prevent the tool from recoiling when the fastener is being driven in. If the safety element comes into contact with the work surface again before you release the trigger, an unwanted fastener will be fired.
- Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too great an angle. Nails can ricochet and cause personal injury.
- Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece as this may split the workpiece and cause the fastener to fly up or ricochet.
- Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the figure, to avoid injury.

Always use hearing protection!
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardized test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING
The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).
OPERATION
Power source
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 PSI. The system should include a filter, a pressure regulator and automatic lubricator located as close as possible to the tool (within 4.5 metres is ideal). All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If a lubricator is not installed, place five or six drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet at the start of each workday.
IMPORTANT
All line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 PSI (10.3 bar) or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum pressure greater than 180 PSI (12.3 bar). Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the rear of the tool. Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool or handing it over to someone else.
Preparing the tool before driving
Read the Operating Instructions before connecting the tool to the air supply.
IMPORTANT
- Never point the tool at your body or at anyone else.
- Always connect the tool to the air supply before loading fasteners.
- Do not load nails with the trigger or safety mechanism held in.
- Always wear Z87 approved safety glasses and ear protection when preparing and using the tool.
- Never use a tool that is leaking air or needs repairing.
- Pull back the feeder until it latches (fig. 2).
- Hold a strip of nails with the pointed ends down (fig. 3) and put it into the magazine.
- Slide the nails forward in the magazine. The magazine holds 60 nails.
- Pull the feeder backwards slowly. Press the lock so that the feeder is released and can be slid towards the nails (fig. 4).
- Adjust the directional exhaust deflector (A) (fig. 5) so that the exhaust air is directed away from the operator. Hold the deflector and rotate it to a suitable position.
Using the tool
Complete all steps in the section PREPARING THE TOOL BEFORE DRIVING before you
use the tool. The tool can be fired in two ways.
Place the drive guide on the work surface, gently press the tool against the
surface until the safety bracket is depressed and then squeeze the trigger.
This method is effective if you have a comfortable working position. If you
use this method without having a steady hold of the tool, the recoil may cause
the safety bracket to be pressed in again, whereby the tool will drive another
nail or drive a nail and then fire without a nail. 
You can also squeeze the trigger and then press the safety mechanism several times to allow the drive mechanism to drive out the nail. You may find this method easier if you are working in a position that makes it difficult to empty the magazine.
IMPORTANT
- Take your finger off the trigger when not driving nails.
- Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger as the tool will fire a nail if the safety mechanism is pressed.
- Always hold the tool pointing in a safe direction.
- Never attempt to drive nails into materials that are too hard, at too great an angle or close to the edge of the workpiece. Nails can ricochet and cause personal injury.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool, handing it over to someone else or adjusting it in any way. Clean and inspect the tool daily. Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism carefully to ensure they are working. Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are working. Do not use it if it is leaking air or needs repairing. The depth to which a nail is driven is regulated by the depth adjustment (A) (fig. 6). The depth is pre-set at the factory to the maximum setting. Loosen the screw (B) (fig. 6), slide the depth adjustment to the position required and tighten the screw. Slide the safety bracket (A) (fig. 6) upwards to increase the depth of drive and downwards to decrease it. Now fire a nail and check whether the depth is right. Repeat until the depth is just right. The depth setting determines the amount of air pressure required. Always use the lowest possible setting. Excess air pressure will wear and/or damage the tool prematurely.
MAINTENANCE
Clean and inspect every day
IMPORTANT! Disconnect the tool from the air supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all problems before using the tool again. Clean the tool and inspect it for wear and damage. If necessary, clean the outside of the tool with a non-flammable cleaning solution. Do not soak the tool in cleaning solution. This can damage the internal parts. Inspect the trigger and the safety mechanism to ensure they are complete and in perfect working order. There must be no loose, missing or binding parts. Always keep screw connections tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage to the tool. If the tool is operated without a lubricator, add 5 or 6 drops of pneumatic oil into the air inlet of the tool at the start of each workday.
Service and repairs
All quality tools eventually need servicing and replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section for information about parts that can be served by the user. All repairs that are carried out by local agencies are fully guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. The warranty does not cover repairs carried out by anyone other than these agencies. Please contact us if you have any questions about your tool. Always state the information shown on the tool’s type plate (model number, type, serial number, etc.).
