PREPARING THE TOOL
1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to
air supply.
WARNING:
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others at all
times.
Always connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners.(see Fig.
14).
Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed.
Only use approved Porter-Cable fasteners (see ACCESSORIES).
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses, and hearing
protection when preparing or operating the tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
2. Orient a strip of nails with points down (see Fig. 15), and align with the
magazine “T” slot.
3. Feed the strip of nails into the magazine
(“T” slot), until they are past the stop (A) Fig. 16.
4. Pull the follower (B) Fig. 17, all the way to
the rear of the magazine and release. The
follower will apply pressure to the strip of nails
to feed it into the driving mechanism.
5. Adjust directional exhaust deflector (A) Fig.
18, so that the exhaust air blast will be directed
away from the operator. The exhaust deflector
provides seven detented positions for directing
the exhaust blast away from the operator.
Grasp the deflector and rotate it to the desired
