IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
WARNING: When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
We strongly recommend that this tool not be modified and /or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its
application, do not use the tool until you have written us and we have advised you.
1SAFETY GLASSES To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons
in the work area must wear approved safety glasses with permanently
attached, rigid side shields.
2. EAR PROTECTION Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible
hearing loss.
3. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR at 70 to 90 psi / 488 to
621 kPa / 4.88 to 6.2 bar.
4. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi /
1379 kPa / 13.8 bar.
5. AIR HOSE Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150
psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
6. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal
injury could result.
7. COUPLINGS Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4” NPT coupling that
removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
8. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY hose before doing any
disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work
area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
9. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or
requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.
10. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or
spring are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety,
trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger
and safety mechanism.
11. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical Superior
replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us.
12. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism
may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
13. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep it pointed
away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool
as a working implement.
14. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with trigger or safety depressed. The tool
may unintentionally fire a fastener.
15. DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never
carry tool with finger on trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted
fastener.
16. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
17. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too
hard to penetrate
18 GRIP TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil
away from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is
allowed to recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an

unwanted fastener will be fired.
19 DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of other fasteners, or with the tool
at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
20 DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS too close to the edge of the workpiece.
The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to fly free or
ricochet causing personal injury.
21 STAY ALERT. Keep hands and body away from the path of any potential
fired fastener. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t
operate any tool when you are tired.
22 GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
Before driving fasteners into walls, floors, or wherever “live” electrical
wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of
shock.
23 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR of obstructions.
24 EMPLOYERS must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and
all other instructions in this manual. Keep it available for use by everyone
assigned to use this tool.

SETUP: AIR SOURCE
· The BN5018A is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air,
regulated at 60-100 psi / 413 to 690 kPa / 4.13 to 6.9 bar. The preferred system
would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close
to the tool as possible (within 15 feet / 5 meters is ideal). Do not use bottled air or
gases.
· All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can
harm the internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of
these and significantly prolong the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has
sufficient oil. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool’s air
inlet at the beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the
tool’s exhaust during firing.

ENGLISH
·Air Fitting: The BN5018A should be equipped with a 1/4” NPT male ‘quick
connector’. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must
always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure in it is
released when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION: All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, &
regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi / 1034
kPa / 10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a
jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or
handing it to another person.
SETUP: CONNECTING THE TOOL

OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATING THE TOOL
1The depth to which a brad is driven is determined by the supplied air pressure.
Test fire a brad into a sample of the material you will be working on and check
depth. If a change is desired, adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher or
lower pressure. Test fire another fastener and check depth again. Adjust as
necessary.
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, or
at too steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The
fastener can ricochet causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly,
maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area,
moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
Clean and inspect the tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation
of trigger and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless both the
trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking
air or needs any other repair.
2Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the
limits mentioned in SPECIFICATIONS.
3Hold the BODY (BN5018A-22) and press DRIVE GUIDE (BN5018A-50) against
the work surface, being sure the tool is perpendicular to the surface.
4Gently squeeze the TRIGGER (BN5018A-39) to drive the fastener.
5Lift the tool off the work surface.
MAINTENANCE
CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY
CAUTION: Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Cor-
rect all problems before putting the tool back in service.
Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flamable
cleaningsolutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. Do Not Soak
tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage
the tool.
If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 2 drops of air tool oil into the
air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday and after about 1 hour
of MAINTENANCE continuous use.. Frequent but not excessive lubrication
is required for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection
will lubricate all internal parts. Use only air tool oil. Do not use oil with
detergents or other additives. These can cause damage through acceler-
ated wear to the seals in the tool.
Use a small amount of oil on all exterior moving parts and pivots.
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear.
See the section on SETUP: AIR SOURCE above for more information.
Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use non-flammable
cleaning solutions sparingly and only if necessary. Do not soakparts in the
solutions. CAUTION: Such solutions may damage O-rings and other parts.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality tools eventually require some servicing of replacement parts due
to wear from normal use.
