Loading the Tool SAFETY SETUP OPERATION TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION, BEFORE LOADING: • Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields. • Release the trigger. • Detach the air supply. • Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners. Note: Make sure nail type and angle are correct for nailer. 1. Pull Pusher all the way to the rear of Magazine until it is held in place by the Pusher Lock. 2. Orient a strip of nails with the tips down and drop the strip of nails into Magazine. 3. Pull Pusher back, release Pusher Lock, and allow Pusher to slide forward against strip of nails. General Operating Instructions 1. Before each use, test the tool as directed in the prior section. 2. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before use. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use. Depth Adjustment Screw WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Keep second hand away from tool discharge area, especially if holding workpiece. Tool applies extreme force to fastener, and fasteners may deflect or fire in an unexpected direction. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY: Do not hold tool near body while firing. Tool recoil can cause injury. 3. Position tool at desired fastener location and depress the Safety Nosepiece fully against the workpiece. Squeeze the trigger to fire a fastener. Note: PREVENT DOUBLE FIRING, allow the tool to recoil from the workpiece, do not force it against the workpiece. 4. Firing multiple fasteners using contact trip (bump fire) mode: Squeeze and hold trigger, then push safety nosepiece to fire one fastener, move and push safety nosepiece again to fire additional fasteners. 5. To change firing depth: Disconnect Air Supply and keep Safety Nosepiece pointed away. Loosen the Depth Adjustment Screw, adjust the Safety Nosepiece, and retighten the Screw to control the firing depth. See Figure D. Safety Nosepiece Figure D: Depth Adjustment 6. If, at the maximum depth setting, the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL OR ACCESSORY FAILURE: Do not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure rating. If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required. Note: The nailer will stop firing when it is empty. 7. After use, to prevent accidents: a. Release the trigger. b. Detach the air supply. c. Change the Mode Switch to setting. d. Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners. e. Release the trigger again. f. Clean external surfaces with clean, dry cloth. g. Store indoors out of children's reach. Item 69927 69928 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 13 MAINTENANCE
