English Cold Weather Operation WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and checks before each use of the nailer. When operating tools at temperatures below freezing, complete preparation procedures outlined above and follow the directions below. 1. Make sure compressor tanks have been properly drained prior to use. Always drain the compressor tanks at least once daily while using the nailer. This is especially important in cold weather because any moisture in the air in the tanks will condense in the cold temperature. 2. Keep the tool as warm as possible prior to use. 3. Lower air pressure to 80 psi or less. 4. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber to lubricate o-rings. 5. Turn pressure up to operating level (not to exceed 120 psi) and use tool as normal. Hot Weather Operation Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can damage bumpers, o-rings and other rubber parts. MAINTENANCE WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result. Clearing a Jammed Fastener (Fig. 1, 7) If a fastener becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed away from you and follow these instructions to clear: 1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply. 2. Release the pusher (G) so it is no longer applying force to the nail sticks. 3.
