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. 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 (8) (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. 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.
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).
3. Close the Magazine Cover until the Magazine Latch is fully secured (you will hear a 'click').
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 the 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 nail 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.
Nail depth adjustment
IMPORTANT: Always test the fastener will penetrate by the correct amount.
1. Fire a test nail into a piece of scrap material and examine the penetration depth of the nail.
2. If necessary, adjust the air supply pressure to change the nail penetration depth: reducing the air
supply pressure will reduce the depth that the nail penetrates.
Clearing jams
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or
maintenance is carried out.
Fastener jammed in magazine
1. Open the Magazine Latch (4) and open the Magazine Cover (5).
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers.
3. Reload the magazine and close securely.
Fastener jammed in plate area
1. Undo the two retaining Hex Screws (7) using the Hex Key (9) and then remove the nose cover.
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers.
3. Re-assemble and check the operation of the Safety Catch (6) before using the tool.
