• Do not load fasteners when the trigger
or safety mechanism is pressed.
• Always wear Z87 approved safety
glasses and ear protection when
preparing and using the tool.
IMPORTANT:
• All fitted components (hoses,
connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must
withstand a minimum working pressure
of 150 PSI (10.3 bar) or 150% of the
maximum system pressure. Assume the
larger of these values.
• Do not connect the system to a system
with a maximum pressure over 180 PSI
(12.3 bar).
• Remove all pressure from the tool by
disconnecting the quick coupling from
the connector on the end of the tool.
• Never use a tool that is leaking air or
needs repairing.
PREPARATIONS BEFORE NAILING
1. Read and understand the manual before
connecting the tool to the air supply.
2. Pull back the feeder all the way until it
latches.
FIG. 1
3. Hold a strip of nails with the pointed
ends down (see fig. 1) and put it into the
magazine.
4. Slide the nails forward in the magazine.
The magazine holds 100 nails.
5. Pull the feeder backwards slowly and press
the lock so that the feeder is released and
can be slid towards the nails (see fig. 1).
6. Adjust the exhaust deflector so that the
exhaust is directed away from the user.
Grip the deflector and turn it to a suitable
position.
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT:
Carry out all the steps in the section
"Preparations before nailing" before using
the tool.
Firing in two different ways
The tool can be fired in two different 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.
FIG. 2
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,
