Connecting the Air Supply
Do not use oxygen, combustible
DANGER
gases or bottled gases as a power
source for this tool. The tool will explode and cause
death or serious injury.
Always use a coupling that dis-
WARNING
charges all the compressed air in the
tool at the time the fitting or hose coupling is dis-
connected. Using a coupling that does not dis-
charge the compressed air could cause unintended
operation and serious injury.
Use only clean, dry compressed air with a maximum
pressure of 200 psi. Before connecting the tool to the
air supply, check the air compressor regulator gauge to
be sure it is functioning properly, with a range between
70-120 psi. Air pressure higher than 120 psi could cause
injury and property damage. The correct pressure is the
lowest pressure that will do the job.
To connect the air supply:
1. Remove the plastic plug from the quick connector.
2. Lubricate the quick connector with 2-3 drops air tool
lubricant.
3. Snap the air hose onto the quick connector.
4. Check for air leakage.
NOTE: Use only a 3/8" NPT quick connector. To improve
the seal between the connector and the tool, and to help
protect against oxidation, apply a PTFE tape or paste
to the connector threads before insertion.
Installing Fastener Strips
Always point the tool away from
WARNING
yourself and others when installing
fasteners. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Always make sure the tool's magazine is EMPTY
before connecting to the air supply. The tool may
actuate when the tool is first connected to the air
supply. Always connect the tool to the air supply
before loading nails to prevent injury from unin-
tended actuation.
Never install fasteners with the workpiece contact
or trigger activated. Failure to do so could result
in injury.
Use only recommended fasteners of the correct
size, length, collation angle and head type, as
indicated on the tool's nameplate. Refer to the
"Accessories" section for information on recom-
mended fasteners. Other fasteners could result in
tool malfunction, leading to injury.
1. Verify that the magazine is empty and then connect
the air supply to the tool.
2. Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool
away from yourself and others.
3. Feed fastener strips into the magazine and over the
nail stop tab. Be sure the point of the fasteners is
pointed downward.
NOTE: Use only recommended fasteners of the
correct size, length, collation angle and head type
as indicated on the tool's nameplate.
4. Slide the pusher to the rear of the magazine and over
the nail stop tab.
5. Gently allow the pusher to slide forward, pushing the
fasteners toward the driving mechanism. The pusher
will stop when it rests against the end of the fastener
strip.
NOTE: The fasteners must be aligned with the nose
of the tool for the fasteners to be installed correctly.
Removing Fastener Strips
To avoid serious injury, disconnect
WARNING
the tool from the air supply before
removing fastener strips or clearing a jammed
fastener.
Keep fingers clear of fastener track of magazine.
Pusher could pinch fingers, causing injury.
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool
away from yourself and others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
3. To remove fasteners, press the pusher release button
on the pusher and gently slide the pusher forward
toward the driving mechanism.
4. Slide the nails back until they stop.
5. Press down on the fastener stop tab near the end of
the magazine and slide the fasteners over the tab.
6. Remove fastener strip from the tool.
7. Reload according to "Installing Fastener Strips".
Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of a fastener
wedging between the driver blade and the nail guide.
Fastener strips with an incorrect collation angle or the
wrong fastener type (such as clipped head fasteners)
may cause continuous jamming. To clear the jam:
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool
away from yourself and others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove
fastener strip.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the end of the nail guide.
The tip of the screwdriver should contact the tip of
the driver blade.
4. Tap the screwdriver gently with a hammer. The
screwdriver will push the driver blade back, freeing
the jam.
5. Remove the fastener and other debris (use needle-
nose pliers if necessary).
6. Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing"
before restarting the work.
