OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Loading Nails
1. Disconnect the tool (1) from the air supply (2) (Fig. A).
2. 2. Hold the Air-powered Brad Nailer firmly with one hand. Use the other hand to press the latch (1) on the magazine (2) and slide it
back (Fig. B).
3. Make sure you have the right nails for your tool (page 14). Insert a strip of nails (1) into the magazine. After ensuring that the points
of the nails are facing down, close the magazine. The tool is now ready for use (Fig. C).
4. Plug in compressor, turn it on, set the pressure regulator to 90 PSI, and attach one end of the air hose to the compressor and the
other end of the air hose (1) to the tool (2). Use plumber
’
s tape to prevent air leaks (Fig. D).
5. Test the driving depth of the tool against a scrap piece of wood by pressing the trigger (1) before working on the workpiece. If the
nails are being driven too deep or not deep enough, adjust the regulator in the air supply in order to provide more or less air pressure,
as required (Fig. E).

• Operate the tool with the utmost care when it is connected to the air compressor. Failure to comply may result in injury or
damage to equipment.
WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
• The safety stand must be in contact with the workpiece before activating the tool.
• Do not operate the tool if the nails are not loaded, as doing so may damage the tool.
• Do not fire nails into the air, as doing so may cause injury to the operators or others, apart from
