of the tool against the work surface.

4.  Pull the trigger lock and then squeeze the trigger to 

drive a fastener.

5.  Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as 

the fastener is driven.

6.

fastener has been driven.

 WARNING

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately 
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of 
the tool.

 Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding 

the tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can 
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool. 

*ULSWKHKDQGOH¿UPO\OHWWKHWRROGRWKHZRUNDQGGR

not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust 
at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in 
serious personal injury.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE

Having checked that the fastener driving tool is functioning 
correctly, apply the tool to a work piece and actuate the 
trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven into the work 
piece in accordance with the requirements.

Ɣ

If the fastener is protruding, increase the air 
pressure in increments of 0.5 bar, checking the 
result after each new adjustment;

Ɣ

If the fastener is driven into an excessive depth, 
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0.5 bar 
until the result is satisfactory.

Work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will give

1.  Energy will be saved,
2.  Less noise will be produced,
3. A reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be 

achieved.

The amount of air pressure required will depend on the 
size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test fastener 
into the same type of workpiece material used for the 
actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5

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.

DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

6HH¿JXUH

The tool is factory-set to its maximum depth. The driving 
depth of the fastener may be adjusted to a more shallow 
depth. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece 

to determine the required depth for the application.

1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2.  Using a 3 mm hex key, loosen the two bolts on the 

front plate. Do not remove the bolts.

3. Slide the front plate toward the nose slightly. 

Adjustment is accomplished with very little movement 
of the front plate.

4.  The plate should be positioned so that it cannot slip 

over the bolts.

5.  Tighten the bolts securely with the hex key.
6.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
7.  Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the 

desired depth is set.

REMOVING FASTENERS FROM THE TOOL

1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the 
magazine before performing maintenance. Failure to do 
so could result in serious personal injury.

2.  To remove a strip of fasteners from the tool, release 

the magazine latch and slide open the magazine.

3.  Remove the fasteners from the magazine.

NOTE:

magazine to prevent injury from unintended release of the 
pusher.
4.  Close the magazine.

CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER

6HH¿JXUH

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the 
magazine before clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to 
do so could result in serious personal injury.

If a fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect the 
air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while 
clearing the jam.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2.  Remove fasteners from the tool.
3.  Using a 3 mm hex wrench, remove the two bolts and 

front plate.

4.  If the driver blade prevents removal of bent fasteners

gently tap the driver blade backwards past the jammed 
fastener.

5.  Remove the jammed fastener and make sure the nail 

track is free of bent fasteners or fragments.
