1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Eye protection which conforms to ANSI
specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and
SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator
and others in the work area when loading,
operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection
is required to guard against ying fasteners and
debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
b. The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. We recommend
wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses
or standard safety glasses that provide protection
against ying particles both from the front and
side. Always use eye protection which is marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
c. Additional safety protection will be required in
some environments. For example, the working
area may include exposure to noise level which
can lead to hearing damage. The employer and
user must ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the operator
and others in the work area. Some environments
will require the use of head protection equipment.
When required, the employer and user must
ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI
Z89.1-1997 is used.
d. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
e. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
f. Keep fingers away from trigger when not
driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
g. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
h. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
i. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
b. Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate
properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Check operation of the workpiece contact
mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if
the workpiece contact mechanism is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may
result. Do not interfere with the proper operation
of the workpiece contact mechanism.
d. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier
to control.
f. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
g. Use only fasteners that are recommended for
your model.
h. Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake uids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents
to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the
enclosure plastic.
4. SERVICE

by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualied personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
b. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
■Know your pneumatic tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious

2
injury.
■Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
■Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
■Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.
■Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
discharge fasteners into open air.
■Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for
which it was designed.
■Do not use hardened nails in this tool.
■Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.
Use of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener
feeding, jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool at
erratic angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly and
properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed
and improperly feeding fasteners could result in serious
personal injury.
■Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
■Do not use the tool as a hammer.
■Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the
tool by the air hose.
■Do not alter or modify this tool from the original
design or function without approval from the
manufacturer.
■Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
■Never clamp or tape the trigger or workpiece contact
in an actuated position.
■Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.
■Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
■Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does
not function properly.
OPERATION
■Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
■Do not carry the tool from place to place holding
the trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
■Always handle the tool with care:
●Respect the tool as a working implement.
●Never engage in horseplay.
●Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
toward the work.
●Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
tool is in operation as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
■Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
■Pneumatic tools are designed for single-hand
use. Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine.
Do not put hands, head, or other parts of your body
near the bottom of the magazine where the nail exits
the tool, as serious personal injury could result.
■Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
■Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive
a fastener into the workpiece.
■Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully
positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the
workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
■Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The workpiece may split causing the fastener to
ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that
the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it
to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work
material.
■Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate
work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep hands and body out of potential
harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the material. The
workpiece contact may cause the work material to
shift unexpectedly.
■Keep face and body parts away from back of the
tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden
recoil can result in impact to the body, especially
when nailing into hard or dense material.
■During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function
of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by
holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being driven
from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool
do the work and do not place second hand on top of
tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
■Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or
with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may
cause deflection of fasteners which could cause
injury.
■Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the
fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
■Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will
explode, possibly causing injury or death.
■Do not use with an air compressor which can
potentially exceed 13.8 bar (200 psi) as tool may
burst, possibly causing injury.
■The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect
fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air
after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive

3
a fastener even after the air line is disconnected,
possibly causing injury.
■Always disconnect air supply:
●before making adjustments
●when servicing the tool
●when clearing a jam
●when tool is not in use
●When moving to a different work area, as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing
injury.

could result in serious personal injury.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See gure 5.
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 4.8 - 8.3 bar (70 - 120
psi). The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 8.3 bar (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 tting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause
unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female
quick connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may
be used in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not
available. For maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in.
supply line and ttings are required.

personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use nails smaller than 2.87 mm nail shank
diameter. Doing so may cause nails to exit the tool
prematurely through the guide track. Do not use
hardened nails with pneumatic tools. This could lead
to excessive wear of the guide body and allow nails
to exit the back of the guide body, leading to serious
personal injury.
USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See gure 8 - 9.
WARNING
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact
mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so
could result in possible serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable
trigger set in the single sequential actuation mode. The
selectable trigger can also be set for contact actuation
mode.
Note: Do not use this tool in the contact actuation mode
unless you have had training in the use of this mode of

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
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
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for
best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools
added through the air line connection will lubricate the
internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives as
these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the
seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or
permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the
size of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual
job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 6.2 - 6.5 bar
(90 - 95 psi). Raise or lower the air pressure to nd the
lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent
results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with
air pressure adjustments alone. If ner adjustments are
needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See gure 10.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is
advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to
determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, rst adjust the air pressure
and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use
the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Turn the depth selector left or right to change the
driving depth.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
4. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See gure 11.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
2. To remove a strip of nails from the tool, retract the
pusher until it reaches the end of the magazine and
locks into place.
NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of
magazine to prevent injury from unintended release
of the pusher.
3. Holding your left hand underneath the rear of the
magazine, tilt the tool up so that the hose connector
faces down. The nails will slide back and exit the rear
of the magazine.
WARNING
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before clearing
a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See gure 12.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool,
disconnect the air hose and keep the tool pointed away

8
CAUTION
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to
prevent frost or ice formation on the tools’ operating
valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are
harmful to “O” rings and seals. Do not use these low
temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.
AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE AND VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air
volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because
of undersize ttings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt
and water in the system. Restricted air ow will prevent
the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even
though the pressure reading is high. The results will
be a slow operation or reduced driving power. Before
evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the
air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive
connectors, low points containing water and anything
else that would prevent full volume ow of air to the tool.
REQUIRED DAILY CHECKLIST
See gure 8 -10.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove
all fasteners.
2. Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and pins on the tool. If
any of these are loose, they must be tightened with
the appropriate size wrench.
3. Press the workpiece contact against a workpiece to
ensure that it moves smoothly.
4. With the workpiece contact depressed, pull the trigger.
The trigger should move smoothly, without binding.
5. While the tool is not loaded, connect the appropriate
air supply at 4.8 bar (70 psi) to the tool.
6. Rotate the selectable trigger knob on the trigger to
single sequential actuation operation, position A (See
figure 8). No air should leak from the tool.
●Without pulling the trigger, press the workpiece
contact against a workpiece several times. The
tool must not operate.
●With the workpiece contact not engaged on the
workpiece, point the tool down and away and pull
the trigger several times. Hold the trigger in this
