OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Before use, add a few drops of 

pneumatic tool oil (not included) into 

the Inlet. 

2.  Attach the Air Coupler (61) to Air 

Inlet using pipe thread seal tape (not 

included)

.  

Then connect the 3/8” Air 

Source Hose to the Nailer. 

3.  Set the working air pressure on the 

regulator to between 60 and 100 PSI.  

 

Do not exceed 100 Max. PSI.

4.  Set the Adjusting Dial (46) to match 

the corresponding size (1/2”, 5/8”, 

3/4”, 7/8” or 1”) of the fasteners 

loaded in the Nailer.

Note:

 When changing pin size, turn the 

Adjusting Dial to the new depth size 

BEFORE inserting the new pins.

5.  Slide the Safety (60) to the side so 

that the Trigger (27) will function.  

When ready, press down on the 

Trigger (27) to operate.

6.  Test before first use by driving nails 

into a sample piece of wood.  If the 

fasteners do not achieve the desired 

penetration, adjust the air pressure 

to a higher setting until desired 

penetration is achieved.

7.  Always make sure the Bracket (40) 

is flush against the workpiece during 

use. Always release the Trigger (27) 

once the fastener is driven into the 

workpiece.

8.  When ready to operate the Nailer, 

press down on the Trigger (27). Make 

sure the Nailer does not cycle during 

use.  Never use the Nailer if a cycle 

occurs.

9.  In case of a fastener jam, take your 

finger off the Trigger (27).  Rotate the 

Trigger Lock/Safety (60) clockwise 

or counter-clockwise.  For instance, 

a “6 o-clock” position will lock the 

Trigger (27) and the tool will not fire.  

However, “3 o-clock” and “9 o-clock” 

positions unlock the Trigger (27), 

allowing the tool to fire.

Note:

 There is no contact safety for the 

Trigger (27).  When the Trigger Lock/

Safety (60) is disengaged, the Nailer 

will fire.

10.   Turn off the air supply and 

disconnect the Nailer from the 

regulator. Open the Nozzle (40) and 

clear the jammed fasteners with a 

pair of pliers (not included).
If a jam occurs inside the magazine, 

depress the upper tip of the Click 

Lever (59).  The Side Cover (34) 

will pop open.  If needed, open the 

Nozzle (40) to help clear the jam.  

Once the jam is cleared, push the 

Side Cover (34) back into place and 

latch tight using the Click Lever (59).
