OPERATING PROCEDURES

„

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm 

-rust or “gum up”- the internal components of the tool. An air line filter (M, 

fig.2) will remove most of these and significantly prolong the life of the tool. 

Ensure the in-line oiler (L, fig.2) has sufficient oil. If an in-line oiler is not 

available, place 4-5 drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet (fig.3) at the beginning 

of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the tool’s exhaust 

during firing.

„

Air fitting

: The nailer should be equipped with a 1/4” NPT male ‘quick 

connector’. For better performance. install a quick plug with an inside 
diameter of 5/16” (8 mm) on the tool and a quick coupler on the air hose. 
To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must 
always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure 
in it is released when the coupling is disconnected. Note the way the 

quick-connect fittings are set up with plugs (

F, fig.2

) that allow air to flow 

unrestricted into and out of the tool and the couplers (

K, fig.2

) which 

restrict airflow downstream from the air source (

N, fig.2

) when the tool is 

disconnected. 

„

Do not use bottled air or gases.

CAUTION: 

„

All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & 

regulators, 

etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 

PSI or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. 

„

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, 
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to 
another location, or handing it to another person.

LUBRICATION

The tool requires lubrication before using the tool for the first time and before 

each use. Only if an inline oiler is used, is manual lubrication through the air 
inlet (

fig.3

) not required on a daily basis.

NOTICE Work surfaces can be marred or damaged due to excessive lubrication. 
Proper lubrication is the owner’s responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool 
properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void the warranty

1.  Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add lubricant.
2.  Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. 
3.  Place 4-5 drops or 30W non-detergent oil into air inlet. Do not use 

detergent oils, oil additives or air tool oils. Air tool oils contain solvents 
which will damage the tool’s internal components.

4. 

After adding oil, run tool briefly.

5.  Wipe off any excess oil from the cap exhaust.
