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 a winter formula air tool lubricant.
Caution: Do not store tools in a cold environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tool's operating
valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
Note: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to O-rings and seals – do not use these low
temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.

To prevent accidental injuries:
• Always wear ANSI approved eye protection
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of the tool while the air supply is
connected
• Never point the tool at other people
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work
• Always handle the tool with care
• Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool
Staple loading:
Pull cover open. Insert stick of staples. Push cover forward until the detent pin snaps into place, locking the
cover. The tool is now ready to operate.
