c) Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instructions to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration levels.
d) Where appropriate, support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer.
e) The risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher. Hold the tool with a
light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces.
f) Ensure the tool and accessories are properly mounted and in good repair: improperly mounted
or damaged tools can cause excessive vibration.

Intended Use
Air nail gun with magazine, powered by an air compressor for light to medium duty fastening
applications, using compatible nails or staples.
Not intended for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this
manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable
for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before adjustment or maintenance
is carried out.
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline Quick Connectors (9) (Fig. I):
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install
as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector. This will help to
maintain an airtight seal.
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the Air Inlet (3).
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the Air Inlet located at the base of
the handle.
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts
of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors).
• Air lines fitted with matching female Quick Connectors will now be a push fit to the tool.

Recommended air supply
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator.
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see 'Specification').
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily.
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure
to be used.
Checking the safety catch
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or
maintenance is carried out.
• Ensure that there are no fasteners in the magazine.
• The Safety Catch (6) should move in and out with no obstruction.
• Test the Safety Catch is operating correctly as follows:
1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
2. Push the Safety Catch against a piece of wood without pulling the Trigger (2). The tool should not
fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before further use.
3. Hold the tool away from the piece of wood. The Safety Catch should return to the original
position.
4. Pull the Trigger. The tool should not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired before any further
use.
5. Push the Safety Catch against the piece of wood, but this time pull the Trigger. The tool should
fire. This indicates normal operation.
Loading the magazine
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any loading, adjustment, or
maintenance is carried out.
WARNING: Only use compatible fasteners as specified in 'Specification' .
1. Press the Magazine Latch (4) and slide the Magazine Cover (5) open.
2. Insert fasteners into the magazine, ensuring the point of the fastener is facing forward (away
from the handle of the tool).
• To load with staples, place the strip of staples over the cartridge guide, as shown in Fig. II.
• To load with nails, place the strip of nails alongside the cartridge guide, as shown in Fig. III.
3. Close the Magazine Cover until the Magazine Latch is fully secured.
IMPORTANT. Always test the fastener will penetrate by the correct amount. Using a similar material
fire a test fastener and, if necessary, use the Depth Adjuster (8) as described below in 'Fastener depth
adjustment' to adjust the fastener depth to the desired level.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection,
when working with this tool.
WARNING: Ensure your compressed air supply operates within the pressure range stated in
'Specification'.
Firing trigger
• To operate the nailer, press the Safety Catch (6) against the material. Holding the nailer firmly by
its handle, squeeze the Trigger (2) to fire the fastener into the material.
IMPORTANT: Rapidly pressing the firing trigger could cause internal damage and may invalidate
the guarantee.
Adjusting the exhaust
• The Air Exhaust (1) can be rotated to direct the flow of the exhaust gases.
• The Air Exhaust should be positioned to direct the flow of exhaust gases away from the operator.
Fastener depth adjustment
WARNING: Be aware of the thickness of your workpiece when driving in fasteners. A protruding
nail or stapler may cause injury.
IMPORTANT: Always test the fastener will penetrate by the correct amount.
1. Fire a test fastener into a piece of scrap material and examine the penetration depth of the
fastener.
2. Turn the Depth Adjuster (8) backwards towards the body of the tool to increase the driving depth.
3. To decrease the driving depth, turn the Depth Adjuster in the direction away from the tool body.
• If the Depth Adjuster is set to its lowest setting, the driving depth can be further decreased by
adjusting the air pressure to the desired level. Reducing the pressure will reduce the depth that
the fastener penetrates.
• Where possible, aim to use the lowest air pressure within the specified range (see 'Specification').
A lower air pressure will result in reduced energy used, less noise and reduced wear to the tool.
WARNING: To prevent firing unintentionally, never pull back the Safety Catch (6) with the air
supply connected.
