3.  Slide the Magazine out all the way.
4.  Insert the required size Fasten-

ers (3/4”, 1”, 1-1/4”, 1-1/2” or 1-3/4” 

16-gauge) into the Magazine with the 

point towards the Nozzle.  

WARN-

ING!

 Insert ONLY one size of fasten-

er at a time.  Do NOT load fasteners 

of different sizes together.

5.  Slide the Magazine back into place 

until the Pusher (71) locks in.

6.  Air exhaust may be directed in any 

direction. Rotate the Exhaust Valve 

Cover (1) to keep exhaust from blow-

ing back at the operator’s face.

General Operating Instructions

1.  Test the Tool, as directed in the prior 

section, before each use.

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.

3.  Place the Nozzle on a scrap material, 

preferably the same thickness and 

type of material as the workpiece.  

Press the Trigger (40) to activate the 

Nailer.  Performing this test-firing will 

help you to set the correct air pres-

sure (not exceeding 90 PSI) to prop-

erly drive the fastener.  

4.  Grip the Body (29) of the Nailer with 

both hands and press the Nozzle 

(59) against the surface you wish to 

fasten. Be sure to keep hands, fin-

gers and other body parts away from 

Nozzle.

5.  Press the Trigger (40) to activate the 

Nailer.

6.  If 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 TOOL 

AND ACCESSORY FAILURE, 

RESULTING IN INJURY: 

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.

7.  To prevent accidents, turn off the 

tool, detach the air supply, safely 

discharge any residual air pressure 

in the tool, and release the trigger 

after use.  Clean external surfaces of 

the tool with clean, dry cloth.  Then 

store the tool indoors out of children’s 

reach.
