OPERATION
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail 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 nail 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. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 12, page 17.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. 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 nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive
depth adjustment on the tool.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
 Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.

USING THE SHINGLE GUIDE
See Figure 13, page 17.
The shingle guide features tool-free adjustment. 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 supply.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, depress
 Slide the guide to the desired measurement.
 Release the button.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 14, page 17.
If a nail becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the air hose
and keep the tool pointed away from you while clearing the
jam.
