Safety Setup Loading the Tool TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION, BEFORE LOADING: • Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields. • Release the trigger. • Detach the air supply. • Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners. 1. Depress the Latch (69) and pull back the Sliding Magazine (74) completely. 2. Load the pointed end of the nail strip into the bottom of the Fixed Magazine (67), laying the strip flat on the bed of Magazine. 3. Slide strip forward into Drive Guide (62). 4. Gently push the Sliding Magazine inward and push forward until the Latch snaps and locks securely. WARNING! Do not pinch your hand. NOTE: The small window at the front of the Sliding Magazine indicates the amount of remaining fasteners, with the zero ("0") marker indicating 15 pieces and 5-piece marker increments thereafter. General Operating Instructions 1. Before each use, test the tool as directed in the prior section. 2. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before use. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Keep second hand away from tool discharge area, especially if holding workpiece. Tool applies extreme force to fastener, and fasteners may deflect or fire in an unexpected direction. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY: Do not hold tool near body while firing. Tool recoil can cause injury. 3. Position tool at desired fastener location and depress the Safety Nosepiece fully against the workpiece. Squeeze the trigger to fire a fastener. 4. Adjust the Depth Adjustment Knob to control the firing depth. 5. If, at the maximum depth setting, the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure rating. If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required. Note: The nailer will stop firing when it is empty. 6. After use, to prevent accidents: a. Release the trigger. b. Detach the air supply. c. Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners. d. Release the trigger again. e. Clean external surfaces with clean, dry cloth. f. Store indoors out of children's reach. Operation Maintenance Item 63157 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Page 13
