1. Turn the compressor on and allow it to pressurize. Make sure the tool pressure regulator is set to 0 (Fig. 2).
2. Connect the air hose to the outlet of your air compressor. Connect the other end of the air hose to the air inlet of 

the nailer. The connections must click into place audibly. Use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking.
3. On the air compressor, set the tool pressure regulator to the proper pressure (60 – 100 PSI). The pressure can 

be adjusted later depending on firing depth, fastener length, and workpiece hardness.
4. To disconnect the tool from the air hose, pull back the ring on the quick connector to release the connection. Do 

the same to disconnect the air hose from the air compressor.

PREPARATIONS & ADJUSTMENTS

LOADING FASTENERS

1. Depress the magazine lock (Fig. 2 - 1). Pull out the 

movable magazine (Fig. 2 - 2).
2. Hold the nailer with the magazine at your side. Make 

sure the tip is pointed away from yourself or others.
3. Your nailer is designed to work with 18-gauge brad 

nails 5/8” to 2” long, or 18-gauge 1/4” narrow-crown 

staples 5/8” to 1-5/8” long. Up to 100 fasteners may be 

loaded in the magazine.

•  Loading staples: 

Place a clip of staples over the fixed 

magazine track (Fig. 3a).

•  Loading nails:

 Place a clip of nails into the grooves of 

the fixed magazine, with the nail tips pointing down-

wards. Make sure the nail tips are against the bottom 

of the magazine, and the nail heads rest on the ap-

propriate groove of the fixed magazine track (Fig. 3b).

4. Push the movable magazine forward until it clicks shut. 

Make sure it is locked in place.

NOTE: 

Some force may be required to fully close the mag-

azine when fasteners are loaded.

NOTE:

 Regularly check the fastener gauge window, and 

load more fasteners as necessary. Dry-firing the tool can 

damage it, and may leave unwanted marks on your work-

piece.

ADJUSTING THE AIR EXHAUST CAP

Air is released through the air exhaust cap during opera-

tion. Rotate the adjustable cap (Fig. 3 - 1) to direct the 

released air in your preferred direction, away from you 

and your workpiece.

NO-MAR TIP

A rubber no-mar tip is attached to your tool’s safety bracket to reduce marring and damage to workpiece during op-

eration. Make sure to disconnect the tool from the air supply before adjusting, removing or installing the no-mar tip.
