PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 2, page 17.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool oil
into the air fitting on the tool once 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
70-120 psi.
NO-MAR PAD
See Figure 3, page 17.
The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps
prevent marring and denting when working with softer
woods.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury.
The pad for the framing nailer can be removed by pulling it
away from the toe-nailing claw. To replace the pad, fit it into
place over the points of the claw.
On-board storage for the pad is located on the body of the
tool.
ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST
See Figure 4, page 17.
The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows
the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator
preference.
To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
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.
WIRE DEFLECTOR
See Figure 5, page 17.
Nail coils are connected by small pieces of wire that can fly
from the nose of the tool as nails are driven. The transparent
wire deflector helps prevent these wire pieces from hitting
the operator.
NOTE: The wire deflector is not shown in all illustrations.
However, the deflector should not be removed except for
maintenance or replacement.
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.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 6, page 17.
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.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed air
at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi . The correct
air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 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
compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling
that does not discharge the compressed air could
cause unintended operation and serious personal
injury.
