in the rate of wear. The air supply must be
sufficient to maintain the appliance’s working
pressure. Should the pressure diminish, the
driving power of the air nailer will be reduced. See
“TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” for the correct
working pressure of the air nailer.
Oil and water separator
Dirt and water in the air supply are the main cause
of wear on pneumatic tools. An oil and water
separator will help to ensure clean air pressure
for the best performance and least wear on the
air nailer. The oil and water separator must be
regularly tapped off, in order to function effectively
in supplying clean air pressure to the tool.
Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for
the correct maintenance of the oil and water
separator. A contaminated and blocked filter
will cause a reduction in the pressure, which will
negatively influence the performance of the
air nailer.
4. LOADING THE AIR NAILER
When in use, always wear eye protection
that meets the ANSI specifications, and
offers protection both in front and at the
sides from flying objects when loading,
operating and maintaining the air nailer.
Flying fasteners and splinters can cause
severe injury.
Remark: Glasses without side shield and face
protector do not offer sufficient protection.
Loading with fasteners

• Disconnect the air hose.
• Release the fastener latch and withdraw this
along the fastener guide unit.
• Insert 1 fastener strip into the magazine.
• Press the fastener guide unit back into the
magazine, and lock the fastener latch.
• Reconnect the air hose to the air nailer.
5. OPERATING THE AIR NAILER
When in use, always wear eye protection
that meets the ANSI specifications, and
offers protection both in front and at the
sides from flying objects when loading,
operating and maintaining the air nailer.
Flying fasteners and splinters can cause
severe injury.
Before using the air nailer
• Read the general safety instructions and
warnings in these instructions for use carefully.
• Refer to the specifications earlier in these
instructions for the correct operating
conditions for the air nailer.
Make sure the nailer is lubricated
properly before using it the first time.
Basic operation of the air nailer
Fig.1 - 4
A piston powered by compressed air drives the
air nailer. Illustrations 14 on page 2 + 3 show how
the air nailer works.
Operating
Activated by a trigger
Pressing the trigger activates the air nailer. Every
time the trigger is pressed, the air nailer will drive
a fastener into the workpiece.
Keep your hands well clear of the
fastener head. On no account should
you point the air nailer at any person or
animal.
Removing blocked nails
Before attempting to clear a jammed
nail, make sure that the air nail gun is
disconnected from the air supply.
To clear a jammed nail, proceed as follows.
1. Follow the compressor procedure to switch off
and release the air pressure.
2. Disconnect the air supply hose.
3. Press and hold the magazine release lever.
4. Slide the magazine cover back and remove the
nails in the magazine.
5. The jammed nail should then release.
