lubricator unit.
To operate your nailer, do these steps:
1.

connect fitting.

To test for proper nail penetration,
hold the nailer perpendicular to the
surface of a piece of clean scrap
wood that is thick enough for the
length of nails you have loaded.

With one hand on the magazine
handle for control, release the
magazine catch and slowly allow the

Releasing the magazine catch
and allowing it to "snap" in position
causes undue wear and can lead to
