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:

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:

Connect the tool to the air source.
Press  down  on  the  magazine  latch
button(F).  Pull  back  on  the  magazine
cover(G).
Brad  nails:  Insert  a  stick  of  fasteners  into
the magazine rail(H). Make sure the pointed
ends  of  the  fasteners  are  resting  on  the
bottom  edge  of  the  magazine  when
loading.  Make  sure  the  fasteners  are  not
dirty or damaged.
Staples:  Load  a  clip  of  fasteners  with  the
crowns straddling the magazine rail(H).
Push  the  magazine  cover(G)  forward  until
latch button pops up.

UNLOADING FASTENERS

Unloading is the reverse of loading. Always
disconnect the air source before unloading.

Always unload all fasteners before
removing tool from service.

Always disconnect the air source
before unloading.

CLEARING JAMS

Disconnect the tool from air source.
Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to
do so will cause the fasteners to eject from
the front of the tool.
Pull up on the latch (A) and open the flooring
nose cover(B).
Using caution not to bend or damage the
driver blade, using pliers or a screwdriver if
required to clear the jammed fastener.
Close the jam release and latch.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
Reload the tool with fasteners.

Occasionally, a fastener may become jammed
in the firing mechanism of the tool, making the
tool inoperable. To remove a jammed fastener,
follow these steps below:

Latch(A)

Flooring nose cover(B)

Make sure there is no fastener in
magazine before clearing a jam.

NOTE:
It's the same way to clear the jam with
the regular nose cover.

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.

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.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth
with air pressure adjustments alone.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

The driving depth of the fasteners are
adjustable. To adjust the depth, use the drive
depth adjustment wheel (J) on the the tool.

Disconnect the tool from air source.
Turn the depth wheel left or right to change
the driving depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air source.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until
the desired depth is set.

Turn the adjustment knob counter clockwise
