OPERATION
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases as a power
source for this tool. The tool will explode and cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. 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 not fit all operators
in the same way. Make sure the eye protection chosen has side shields or provides
protection from flying debris both from the front and sides.
PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
This is an oil-free tool, therefore lubrication is not required. However, the occasional
addition of air tool lubrication into the air fitting on the tool will not adversely affect
performance or harm the tool.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge to be sure it is functioning
within the proper range of 70-120 psi.
NO-MAR PADS
No-mar pads help to prevent marring and denting
of the workpiece. Use the large no-mar pad when
working with softer woods and the small no-mar
pad with harder woods and in tight spaces.
These are located in the on-board
storage area; an additional no-mar pad
is installed on the nose of the tool.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove nails from the tool
before removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
The no-mar pad can be removed by pulling it down and away from the workpiece contact.
To replace the no-mar pad, fit it into place over the workpiece contact and push up at
the back to reseat.
On-board storage for the no-mar pad is located on the magazine of the tool.
BELT HOOK
The hook will rotate to either side of the tool and can
be used to hang the tool from a belt when the tool is
disconnected and not in use.
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
The dry-fire lockout feature keeps the tool from operating when fasteners are low in the
magazine to prevent missing fasteners in the nail pattern and extend tool life.
