OPERATION
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used
in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For
maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings
are required.
ADJUSTING THE OFFSET MAGAZINE
See Figures 3 - 4, pages 13 - 14.
The EZ Load™ feature is designed for quick and easy re-
loads. To prevent jamming, always adjust the magazine to
the correct position for the size nail you are using. There is
an adjustment indicator inside the magazine to help you
choose the right position.
To adjust the magazine, pull up on the spool and rotate it
until the nail tray rests in place in the desired position. Rotate
it counterclockwise to lower the nail tray. Turn it clockwise
to raise the nail tray.

LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figures 5 - 7, page 14.
The offset magazine has three adjustment positions to ac-
cept various nail sizes.
The dry-fire lockout feature keeps the tool from operating
when nails are low in the magazine. The sight window pro-
vides a way to quickly check the nail supply.
WARNING:
The tool's driving mechanism may cycle when the
tool is first connected to the air supply. Always
connect the tool to a pressurized air supply before
loading nails to prevent injury from unintended
cycling. Always make sure the tool's magazine
is empty at the beginning of each work session,
before connecting to an air supply.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and oth-
ers when loading nails. Failure to do so could result
in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this
tool (refer to the Fastener Guide). The use of any
other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading
to serious injuries.
