Be sure to use a proper air compressor with air powered tools. The compressor
should be able to supply a minimal air deliver of 2 CFM @ 90 PSI to ensure the
compressor can run continuously with the tool.
GUIDELINES FOR PROPER USE AND OPERATION
COMPATIBLE COMPRESSORS
Nail length: ¾-1-3/4”; Magazine capacity: 120pcs
Acceptable Fasteners
• Uses 15-degree 19mm (3/4”) to 45mm (1-3/4”) wire collated roofing nails.
• Has steel contact safety with dual carbide inserts for less wear.
• Features soft grip for comfort and control.
• Delivers the power to consistently drive nails in the toughest applications.
• Big loading capacity magazine will fasten a full bundle of shingles without reloading.
Description / Features
The Nailer has two firing modes: Single-Sequential actuation for single firing, or
Contact / bump actuation for repetitive, fast firing of nails.
Each mode requires a dierent method of operation:
Single Firing: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the Workpiece
Contact (nose of tool) on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER.
Depress the Workpiece Contact until the Workpiece contact (nose of tool) touches
the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool
against the work with extra force. Instead allow the tool to recoil o the work
surface to avoid a second, unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger.
Contact or Bumping actuation mechanism: To operate the tool in this manner, hold
the tool with the Workpiece Contact (nose of tool) pointing towards but not touching
the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap (bump) the Workpiece Contact
against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the
Workpiece Contact will cause a fastener to be driven.
FIRING MODES
WARNING: The use of any other types of fasteners will cause the tool to jam.
Failure to comply could lead to serious injury or loss of life.

11
Always use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 5 to 7.5 bar (70 To 110 PSI).
Do not exceed the maximum or minimum pressures. Operating the tool at the wrong
pressure (too low or too high) will cause excessive noise or rapid wear of tool.
