 WARNING

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side 
shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could 
result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting 
in possible serious injury.

 WARNING

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving 
the work area, moving the tool to another location, or 
handing the tool to another person. Failure to do so 
could result in serious personal injury.

 WARNING

Always wear eye protection. Eye protection does

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE

 WARNING

Please read and observe these operating instructions 
before using the tool. Basic safety measures should 
always be strictly followed to protect against damage to 
the equipment and personal injury to the user or other 
people working in the vicinity of operation.

Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated 
with air tool oil before connecting the tool to an air supply.

daily with minimal use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only 
a few drops of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will 
only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the 
exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor 
gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range 
of 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120 psi).

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY

 WARNING

Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed 
air system does not exceed the maximum allowable 
pressure of the fastener driving tool. Set the air 
pressure initially to the lower value of the recommended 

DOORZDEOHSUHVVXUHVHH6SHFL¿FDWLRQV

 WARNING

Empty the magazine to prevent a fastener from being 
ejected at the next stage of work in the event that 
internal parts of the fastener driving tool are not in the 
starting position following maintenance and repair work 
or transportation.

 WARNING

Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed 
air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped with 
quick-action connectors.

 WARNING

Check for proper functioning by applying the nose of 
the fastener driving tool to a piece of wood or wooden 
material and actuating the trigger once or twice.

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed 
air at regulated pressures between 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120 
psi). The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that 
will do the job.

NOTE:

 Air pressure that is higher than 8.3 bar (120 psi) 

may damage the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that 
allows all pressure to be removed from the tool when the 
coupling is disconnected.

 WARNING

Always use a coupling that discharges all the

hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that 
does not discharge the compressed air could cause 
unintended operation and serious personal injury.

 WARNING

Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool 
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result 
in serious personal injury.
