Always visually inspect air nailer before
every use. Check on the overall condition
and for any loose screws. Tighten any
screws that have come loose. See Figure 8.
Visually inspect the work piece contact and
trigger to ensure there is free movement.
See Figure 9.
When the tool is not going to be used for
an extended period, wipe off all dust and
debris that have collected on it. Tighten all
loose screws. Lubricate the firing mecha-
nism with pneumatic tool oil. See page 9
for Lubrication.
Store the air nailer in a safe location or in
suitable carrying case. It is recommended
that the air nailer be secured in a locked
location to prevent unauthorized usage.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or
locations with high humidity and heat.
Remove the air nailer from use and schedule to have it
repaired at an authorized repair facility if the work piece contact is binding
or not moving freely. Do not attempt to repair the air nailer. Failure to com-
ply can result in malfunction of the tool and severe injury to the operator or
any bystanders.

CHANGING DIRECTION OF EXHAUST AIR
The direction of exhaust air on the air nailer can be
directed 360˚ degrees by placing hand on exhaust
cover and turning. See Figure 6.
CLEARING JAMS
Typically, jams are caused when a fastener or a fastener fragment becomes wedged
between the driver blade and nail guide. Using the wrong fastener can also cause jams.
TO CLEAR A JAM:
1. Disconnect the air supply and remove the fasten-
er strip. Leave the pusher assembly open.
2. Pull out the latch tab and open the jam- clearing
door.
3. Remove all debris that has built up during
operation.
4. Remove jammed fastener. If fastener is difficult
to grasp, use needle nose pliers instead of fin-
gers.
5. If necessary, insert a flat-blade screwdriver so that it touches the tip of the driv-
er blade. See Figure 7. Tap the screwdriver with a hammer. The screwdriver will
push the driver blade back, freeing the jam.
6. Close the jam-clearing door securely.
MAINTENANCE
STORAGE OF NAILS
Always handle nail strips and their box very carefully. If the nail strips have been mis-
handled, they may be out of shape or have breaks in the connecting strips. This will
cause the nails to feed poorly and possibly result in misfiring or jams in the air nailer.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot environment or place in direct sunlight.
OVERALL MAINTENANCE OF AIR NAILER
Always disconnect the air hose from air nailer before
attempting any type of maintenance or visual inspection of tool.
