ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE

WARNING
Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 70 – 100 psi according to the length of
fasteners and the hardness of workpiece . The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do the
job . Using the tool at a higher than required air pressure unnecessarily over stresses the tool .

TOOL OPERATION

Read section titled "SAFETY" (pages 4-7)
• Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses
with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specification.
• NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area.
• Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid
accidental operation.
• Never place your face, hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from discharge area when
using. The tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener
may be driven possibly causing injury.
• Check operation of the safety mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the safety is not
working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the safety mechanism.
• The safety trigger is a safety device and should only be pulled when the tool is in proper position
on the work surface and before the ram/actuator is struck with the mallet.
• Do not tie or tape down the safety trigger as the tool could discharge if dropped on the plunger. The
tool will not operate unless the trigger is pulled before striking the ram/actuator with the mallet.
• Do not use the safety as a disabling mechanism for the ram/actuator in order to use the tool to
rack the wood. This will severely damage the mechanism and the tool. This abuse and damage is
not covered by the warranty. Use the mallet to rack the flooring, not the tool.
• Do not strike the ram/actuator without pulling the safety trigger! Hitting the tool with the safety
engaged will damage the safety mechanism and the tool.
