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 90-95 psi.
Raise or lower the air pressure to find the
lowest setting that will perform the job with
consistent results.
