• The depth that the nail is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to
the nose of the tool.
1. To drive a nail shallow, turn the wheel (A) to right to the extent desired.
2. To drive a nail deep, turn the wheel to left to the extent desired.
3. Make sure that the trigger and safety yoke move freely up and down without binding
or sticking after each adjustment.
• If the work surface need to be protected from scratches, attach the no-mar pad
on the nose.
• Attach the no-mar pad on the nose when driving nails to a soft material and protect
work surface from scratches.
• Put the no-mar pad on the hanger when not in use and carry it around together with
the tool.
Operation in cold weather:
• Do not store the tool in a cold weather environment in order to prevent frost or ice
from forming on the tool's operating valves and mechanisms. This could cause tool
failure.
• When operation tools at temperatures near and below freezing, the moisture in the air
line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
1. Reduce the air pressure to 5.5 bar or less.
2. Remove all nails from magazine.
3. Connect air and free-fire (blank-fire) the tool. Slow speed operation tends to warm
up the moving part.
Operation in hot weather:
• Keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers, o-rings
and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.
• The tool should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
• While tool is disconnected from air supply, make daily inspection to ensure free
movement of safety yoke and trigger.
• Only use supplied oil or oil recommended in the technical specifications on the tool.
Squirt oil lightly with 2 or 5 oil drops into air inlet.
• Clean magazine, pusher, and safety yoke periodically.
• Lubricate the sliding parts of the magazine occasionally to prevent wear.
• Keep the tool clean and inspect for wear. Do not use flammable cleaning solutions.
• Do not use detergent oil or additives or solvent as they will damage o-rings and
rubber parts.
• Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily.
• Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws result
in unsafe operation and parts breakage.
