The tool may fire when it is first
connected to the air source. Always
connect the tool to the air source before
loading fasteners to prevent injury from
unintended cycling. Always make sure
the tool's magazine is empty at the
beginning of each work session, before
connecting to an air source.
WARNING:
!
Use only those fasteners recommended
for use with this tool. Fasteners not
identified for use with this tool by the tool
manufacturer are able to result in a risk of
injury to persons or tool damage when
used in this tool.
WARNING:
!
Make sure there is no fastener in
magazine before clearing a jam.
WARNING:
!
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After
disconnecting the tool from the air
compressor, there should still be enough
air pressure to fire the tool. After the air
hose is disconnected, always fire the tool
into scrap wood repeatedly to make sure
all of the compressed air is expended.
WARNING:
!
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends on
the size of the fasteners and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail
into the same type of workpiece material used for
the actual job. Drive a test fastener with the air
pressure set at 90-95psi. Raise or lower the air
pressure to find the lowest setting that will perform
the job with consistent results.It may be possible to
achieve the desired depth with air pressure
adjustments alone.
NON-MARRING PAD
The non-marring pad attached the nose of the tool
helps prevent marring and denting when working
with softer woods.
Disconnect the tool from the air source
before removing or replacing the no -
marring pad. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
!
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself
and others when loading fasteners.
Failure to do so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
!
Never load fasteners with the workpiece
contact or trigger activated. Doing so
could result in possible serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
!
UNLOADING FASTENERS
Unloading is the reverse of loading. Always
disconnect the air source before unloading.
Always unload all fasteners before removing
tool from service.
WARNING:
!
Always disconnect the air source before
unloading.
