from you while clearing the jam.
1.  Remove fasteners from the tool.

2.  Pull up on the latch and open the jam release.

3.  Insert  a  flat  blade  screwdriver  into  the  driving 

mechanism and push the driver mechanism back, 

freeing the fastener jam.

4.  Remove the bent fastener.

5.  Close the jam release and latch.

6.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

7.  Reinstall fasteners.

MAINTENANCE 

 WARNING

When servicing use only identical replacement parts. 

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause 

product damage.

 WARNING

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked 

to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could 

result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting 

in possible serious injury.

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before 

performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result 

in serious personal injury.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

 WARNING

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 

with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or 

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal 

injury.

LUBRICATION

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for 

best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools 

added through the air line connection will lubricate the 

internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives as 

these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the 

seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool 

performance and frequent tool maintenance.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, 

the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool 

operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or 

permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather 

lubricant.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE

The amount of air pressure required will depend on the 

size of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into 

the same type of workpiece material used for the actual 

job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5 bar 

(90 - 95 psi). Raise or lower the air pressure to find the 

lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent 

results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with 

air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are 

needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.

DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See figure 10.

The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is 

advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to 

determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure 

and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use 

the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2.  Turn the depth selector left or right to change the 

driving depth.

3.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

4.  Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the 

desired depth is set.

REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See figure 11.

1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before 

performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result 

in serious personal injury.

2.  To remove a strip of nails from the tool, retract the 

pusher until it reaches the end of the magazine and 

locks into place.

NOTE:

 Always keep fingers clear of nail track of 

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release 

of the pusher.

3.  Holding your left hand underneath the rear of the 

magazine, tilt the tool up so that the hose connector 

faces down. The nails will slide back and exit the rear 

of the magazine.

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before clearing 

a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could result in 

serious personal injury.

CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See figure 12.

If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, 

disconnect the air hose and keep the tool pointed away
