Using the shingle guide
The shingle guide is at the bottom of the tool. It is used to
place a shingle the desired distance from the front edge of
the previous row of shingles.
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Loosen the screw .
Slide the guide to the desired measurement.
Tighten the screw.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.

Firing the tool
(Contact actuation mode)
The tool is specially designed for contact actuation mode.
This allows for very fast, repetitive fastener placement.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the
work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive
a fastener.
Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
NOTE: The tool can also be used by pressing the work
contact on the working surface and then pull the trigger.
WARNING: Remove the finger from the trigger when
not driving nails. Always carry the tool by the handle
only.
WARNING: The tool must be allowed to recoil away
from the work piece. Do not drive a nail on top of
another nail.
WARNING: During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener This is a normal
function of the tool Do not attempt to prevent the
recoil by holding the tool against the work Restriction
of the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the tool Grip the handle firmly and let the
tool do the work Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury
WARNING: Always know the operational mode of the
tool before using. Failure to know the operational
mode could result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING: An improperly functioning tool must not be
used. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the work place.

Maintenance
WARNING: Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Empty the magazine completely.
ANTI-DUST CAP
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air
connector, check it after unpacking.
Keep the anti-dust cap covering the air connector when
the tool is not in use.
LUBRICATION
Lubrication is required for best performance after long
periods use Oil for pneumatic fastening tools is added
through the air line connection and will lubricate internal
parts Do not use detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance
1.
Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add lubricant.
2.
Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place 2 - 3 drops
of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air inlet. Do not use
detergent oils, oil additives, or air-tool oils as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool resulting in poor tool performance
and frequent tool maintenance
After adding oil, connect the tool to the air source run
3.
tool briefly. Wipe off any excess oil from the cap exhaust.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CAUTION: The work surface can become damaged by
excessive lubrication. Proper lubrication is the owner's
responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void your
warranty.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and maybe damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirts, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetration oils,
ect. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or
permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the
tool's operating valves and mechanisms that could
cause tool failure.
