OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
(Continued) 

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

The illustration below shows the 
recommended hookup for the tool.

1.   The air compressor 

must be able to 
maintain a minimum 
of 60 psi when the 
tool is being used. An inadequate air 
supply can cause a loss of power and 
inconsistent driving.

2.   An oiler can be 

used to provide oil 
circulation through 
the tool. A filter can 
be used to remove liquid and solid 
impurities which can rust or “gum 
up” internal parts of the tool. 

3.   Always use air supply hoses with a 

minimum working pressure rating 
equal to or greater than the pressure 
from the power source if a regulator 
fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. 
Use 3/8" air hose for runs up to 
50'. Use 1/2" air hoses for 50' run 
or longer. For better performance, 
install a 3/8" quick plug (1/4" NPT 
threads) with an inside diameter of 
.315" (8mm) on the tool and a 3/8" 
quick coupler on the air hose.

4.   Use a pressure regulator on the 

compressor, with an operating 
pressure of 0 - 125 psi. A pressure 
regulator is required to control 
the operating pressure of the tool 
between 60 and 100 psi. 

OPERATIONAL MODE

Always know the  

  operational mode of 

the tool before using. Failure to know 
the operational mode could result in 
death or serious personal injury.

SINGLE SEQUENTIAL MODE

This mode requires 
the trigger to be 
pulled each time a 
fastener is driven. 
The tool can be actuated by depressing 
the Work Contact Element (WCE) 
against the work surface followed by 
pulling the trigger. 

The trigger must be released to reset 
the tool before another fastener can be 
driven.

OPERATING A SEQUENTIAL TRIP 
TOOL

Check the operation  

  of the Work Contact 

Element (WCE) trip mechanism before 
each use. The WCE must move freely 
without binding through its entire 
travel distance. The WCE spring must 
return the WCE to its fully extended 
position after being depressed. Do 
not operate the tool if the WCE trip 
mechanism is not operating properly. 
Personal injury may occur.

1.   Disconnect the air 

supply from the tool.

2.   Remove all fasteners 

from the magazine 
(see Loading/ 
Unloading).

3.   Make sure the trigger 

and work contact 
element (WCE) move 
freely up and down 
without sticking or binding.

4.   Reconnect air 

supply to the 
tool.

5.   Depress the Work 

Contact Element 
(WCE) against the 
work surface without 
pulling the trigger. The tool 

MUST 

NOT OPERATE

. Do not use the tool 

if it operates without pulling the 
trigger. Personal injury may result.

6.   Remove the tool from 

the work surface. 
The Work Contact 
Element (WCE) must 
return to its original down position. 
The tool 

MUST NOT OPERATE

. 

Do not use the tool if it operates 
while lifted from the work surface. 
Personal injury may result.

7.   Pull the trigger 

and depress the 
work contact 
element (WCE) 
against the work surface. The tool 

MUST NOT OPERATE

.

8.   Depress the 

Work Contact 
Element (WCE) 
against the 
work surface. Pull the trigger. The 
tool 

MUST OPERATE

.

 An 

improperly 

 functioning tool 

must not be used. Do not actuate the 
tool unless the tool is placed fi rmly 
against the work piece.

LOADING/UNLOADING THE TOOL

1.   Always 

connect

 the tool to the air 

supply 

before

 loading fasteners.

2.   Push down on the 

latch button. Pull 
back on the magazine 
cover.

3.   Load a clip of fasteners with the 

crowns straddling the magazine rail.

4.   Push the magazine 

cover forward until 
latch button pops up.

5.   Always unload all 

fasteners before removing tool from 
service. Unloading is the reverse of 
loading, except always disconnect 
the air supply before unloading.
