RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the nailer.
1. The air
compressor
must be able
to maintain a
minimum of
70 PSI when
the nailer 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 nailer. A filter
can be used to
remove liquid and
solid impurities which can rust or
“gum up” internal parts of the
nailer.
3. Use 3/8 inch
air hoses with
a minimum
working
pressure of
150 psi. Use 1/2 inch air hoses for
50 foot run or longer. For better
performance, install a 3/8 inch quick
plug (1/4 inch NPT threads) with an
inside diameter of .315 inch (8mm)
on the nailer and a 3/8 inch 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 nailer
between 70 and 120 PSI.

General Safety
Information
(Continued)
•
Always check
that the Work
Contact
Element (WCE)
is operating
properly. A nail
could
accidentally be
driven if the
WCE is not
working properly. Personal injury
may occur (See "Checking the Work
Contact Element" Section).
•
Disconnect air supply and release
tension from the pusher before
attempting to clear jams because
fasteners can be ejected from the
front of the nailer. Personal injury
may occur.
Notice indicates
important
information, that if not followed, MAY
cause damage to equipment.
•
Avoid using the nailer when the
magazine is empty. Accelerated
wear on the nailer may occur.
•
Clean and check all air supply hoses
and fittings before connecting the
nailer to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fittings.
Tool performance or durability may
be reduced.
•
Air compressors providing air to the
nailer should follow the
requirements established by the
American National Standards
Institute Standard B19.3-1991;
Safety Standard for Compressors for
Process Industries. Contact your air
compressor manufacturer for
information.
NOTICE
Operating The Nailer
Read this manual and understand
all safety warnings and
instructions before operating the
nailer.
LUBRICATION
This nailer requires lubrication before
using the nailer for the first time and
before each use. If an inline oiler is
used, manual lubrication through the
air inlet is
not
required on a daily basis.
The work surface
can become
damaged by excessive lubrication.
Proper lubrication is the owner’s
responsibil- ity. Failure to lubricate the
nailer properly will dramatically
shorten the life of the nailer and void
your warranty.
1. Disconnect the
air supply from
the nailer to
add lubricant.
2. Turn the nailer
so the air inlet
is facing up.
Place 4-5 drops
of 30 W non-
detergent oil
into air inlet. Do not use detergent
oils, oil additives, or air tool oils. Air
tool oils contain solvents which will
damage the nailer’s internal
components.
3. After adding oil,
run nailer briefly.
Wipe off any
excess oil from
the cap exhaust.
