Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are
missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
Installing the Quick Connector
• Fit the Quick Connector (2) to the nailer. The connector is a screw fit into the Air Inlet.
Applying PTFE tape to the screw threads will help to maintain an air tight seal. Air lines
fitted with matching ¼" connectors will now be a push fit

TO YOUR
AIR TOOL
LEADER HOSE
• This tool should be connected to a clean air supply with an in-line oiler and water
separator
• DO NOT allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated in the specification
• Always select the lowest supply pressure suitable for the task. This will reduce sound
and vibration for the operator. It will also decrease wear of the tool and the chance
of tool failure
• Always use an air filter with the machine. Without an air filter, air is likely to have a
higher water content that will rapidly corrode the internal working parts of this machine
and will shorten its working life significantly. Water collects in the compressor tank and
will cause serious corrosion. The tank must be drained on a daily basis to prevent water
build-up in the air supply
• Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air
pressure to be used
• If an automatic oiler (as per diagram below) is not used, pour two drops of air tool oil
into the air inlet of the quick connector before each use
CAUTION: Only use oil formulated for air or pneumatic tools. Never substitute other oils
which may damage this tool and the compressor or are not suitable for contact with the
operator of the tool. DO NOT use 2-stroke or automotive oil.
Checking the safety catch
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or
maintenance is carried out.
• Ensure that there are no fasteners in the magazine
• The Safety Catch (6) should move in and out with no obstruction
• Test the safety catch is operating correctly as follows:
1. Connect the tool to the air supply
2. Push the Safety Catch (6) against a piece of wood without pulling the Trigger (1). The
tool should not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before further use
3. Hold the tool away from the piece of wood. The Safety Catch (6) should return to the
original position
4. Pull the Trigger (1). The tool should not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before
any further use
5. Push the Safety Catch (6) against the piece of wood, but this time pull the Trigger (1).
The tool should fire. This indicates normal operation
Loading the magazine
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any loading, adjustment,
or maintenance is carried out.
1. Open the Magazine Latch (4) and open the Magazine Cover (5)
2. Insert fasteners into the magazine, ensuring the point of the fastener is facing
forward (away from the handle of the tool)
3. Close the magazine cover until the latch (4) is fully secured (you will hear a 'click')

Operation
WARNING: Ensure your compressed air supply operates within the pressure range stated
in "Specifications".
Firing trigger
• To operate the nailer, press the Safety Catch (6) against the material. Holding the nailer
firmly by its handle, squeeze the Trigger (1) to fire the nail into the material
WARNING: Rapidly pressing the firing trigger could cause internal damage and may
invalidate the guarantee.
Exhaust
• Rotate the Exhaust Direction Dial (9) to direct the exhaust air away from the operator
Nail depth adjustment
IMPORTANT: Always test the fastener will penetrate by the correct amount.
1. Fire a test nail into a piece of scrap material and examine the penetration depth of
the nail
2. If necessary, adjust the air supply pressure to change the nail penetration depth:
reducing the air supply pressure will reduce the depth that the nail penetrates.
Clearing jams
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or
maintenance is carried out.
Fastener jammed in magazine
1. Open the Magazine Latch (4) and the Magazine Cover (5)
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers
3. Reload the magazine and close securely
Fastener jammed in plate area
1. Remove the Screws (8) and then remove the nose cover using the Hex Keys (7)
supplied. The safety lever can now be removed. Remove screws and remove main
plate
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers
3. Re-assemble the nose plates and check the operation of the safety lever before
using the tool
Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect the machine from the air supply before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning.
Note: Two hex keys are provided with this air nailer that are suitable for partial disassembly
of this unit. These may be useful for cleaning, unjamming and replacing parts. Such
disassembly is not covered by this manual.
WARNING: Never use third party spares with this product. Only use spares supplied by
Silverline or an authorised Silverline stockist or repair centre.
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly, and could reduce its service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• After each use, pour approximately 1.5ml of lubricating oil into the Air Inlet (2)
• If the tool stops working or only works intermittently, pour approximately 1.5ml of
lubricating oil into the Air Inlet (2), and connect to air supply. Operate the tool in short
bursts. If this does not free the tool mechanism, have the tool serviced at an authorised
Silverline service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must be recycled
accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to
dispose of power tools
