CLEARING JAMS
Occasionally, a fastener may become
jammed in the firing mechanism of the
tool, making the tool inoperable. To
remove a jammed fastener, follow these
steps below:
1. Disconnect the tool from air source.
2. Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to
do so will cause the fasteners to eject
from the front of the tool.
3. Pull up on the Latch and open the Nose
Cover.
4.
Using caution not to bend or damage the
driver blade, using pliers or a screwdriver
if required to clear the jammed fastener.
5. Close the jam release and latch.
6.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
7.
Reload the tool with fasteners.

WARNING:
Make sure there is no fastener in the
magazine before clearing a jam.
! WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After
disconnecting the tool from the air
compressor, there should still be
enough air pressure to fire the tool.
After the air hose is disconnected,
always fire the tool into scrap wood
repeatedly to make sure all of the
compressed air is expended.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends
on the size of the fasteners and the workpiece
material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a
test nail into the same type of workpiece
material used for the actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set
at 90-95 psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to
find the lowest setting that will perform the job
with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired
depth with air pressure adjustments alone.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners is
adjustable. To adjust the depth, use the drive
depth adjustment wheel (H) on the tool.
1. Disconnect the tool from air source.
2. Turn the depth wheel left or right to
change the driving depth.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air source.
4. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until
the desired depth is set.
Adjustment

Too Deep Flush
Turn the adjustment knob count clockwise

Too Shallow
Flush
Turn the adjustment knob clockwise
CAUTION:
It is advisable to test the depth on a
scrap workpiece to determine the
required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust
the air pressure and drive a test
fastener. Never exceed 100 psi.

FIRING THE TOOL
(SINGLE SEQUENTIAL MODE)
The tool is specially designed for single
sequential mode. This mode requires the
trigger to be pulled each time a fastener is
driven. The tool can be actuated by
depressing the work contact element against
the work surface followed by pulling the
trigger. The trigger must be released to reset
the tool before another fastener can be driven.
!
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 to 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.
MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING:
Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
◆Disconnect
the
tool
from
the
air
source.
◆Empty the magazine completely.
ANTI-DUST
Each tool is packed with an anti-dustcap on
the air connector.
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air
connector when the tool is not in use.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is
required for best performance. Oil for the tool
is added through the air line connection and
will lubricate the internal parts.
HTTP://WWW.FREEMANTOOLS.COM
1. Disconnect the tool from the air source to
add the 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 other 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.
3.
After adding oil, connect the tool to the
air source, run tool briefly. Wipe off any
excess oil from the cap exhaust.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
