Work Area
Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and
dark areas increase the risks of
electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons. (Fig. 3)
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust of fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control the tool.

Personal Safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not war loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair increase the risk of being caught in
moving parts.
c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is off before
connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on
the switch or connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
e. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard
hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

8
f. Always wear eye protection. (Fig. 4)
g. Always wear hearing protection
when using the tool. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise is
able to cause hearing loss.
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to your body. Attach the hose to the
structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
i. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool
toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
Do not nail on top of another nail. This is able to cause the nail to be
deflected and hit someone, or cause the tool to react and result in a
risk of injury to persons.
Remove finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners. Never
carry the tool with finger on trigger, the tool is able to fire a
fastener.

Tool Use and Care
a. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the
body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
d. Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
unintentionally.

10
e. Store the tool when it is idle out of
reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep a
cutting tool sharp and clean.
A properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk
of binding and is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the
tool is damaged.
h. Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the
specific tool model. Use of an accessory not intended for use the
specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
i. Selecting an appropriate tool actuation system, taking into
consideration the work application for which the tool is
used.

11
Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool.
Never use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Vapors could ignite by a spark and cause an explosion which will
result in death or serious personal injury.
Do not remove, tamper with or otherwise cause the Work Contact
Element (WCE) or trigger to become inoperable. Do not operate any
tool which has been modified in a like fashion. Death or serious
personal injury could result.
Do not touch the trigger unless driving fasteners. Never attach a
pneumatic airline to the tool or carry tool while touching the
trigger. The tool could eject a fastener which will result in death or
serious personal injury.
Always disconnect the tool from the power source when unattended,
performing any maintenance or repair, clearing a jam, or moving the
tool to a new location.

12
Always fit tool with a fitting or
hose coupling on or near the tool
in such a manner that all
compressed air in the tool is
discharged at the time the fitting
or hose coupling is disconnected.
Never carry the tool by the air hose
or pull the hose to move the tool
or a compressor.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Respect the tool as a
working implement; no horseplay.
Always keep others at a safe distance from the work area in case of
accidental discharge of fasteners.
Always reconnect the air line before loading any fasteners when
either the trigger is depressed or the work contact element (WCE) is
engaged. The tool could eject a fastener causing death or serious
personal injury.

13
Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to
remain in the tool. Death or serious personal injury could occur.
Never place hands or any other body parts in the fastener
discharged area of the tool. The tool might eject a fastener and
could result in death or serious personal injury.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose
that is damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage
could occur.

14
Avoid using the tool when the
magazine is empty. Accelerated
wear on the tool may occur.
Clean and check all air supply
hoses and fittings before
connecting the tool to an air
supply.
Replace any damaged or worn hoses or fittings. Tool performance or
durability may be reduced.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering of the tool could result in
death or serious personal injury.
Do not make any modifications to the tool without first obtaining
written approval from Campbell Hausfeld.

15
Always check that the Work Contact Element (WCE) is operating
properly. A fastener could accidentally be driven if the WCE is not
working properly. Personal injury may occur.
Do not use the tool if any shields or guards are removed or altered.
Do not use the tool as a hammer. Personal injury or tool damaged
may occur.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of a
reactive gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to
explode which will cause death or serious personal injury.

16
Use only a pressure-regulated
compressed air source to limit the
air pressure supplied to the tool.
The regulated pressure must not
exceed 120 psi.
Disconnect air supply and release
tension from the pusher before
attempting to clear jams because
fasteners can be ejected from the
front of the tool. Personal injury
may occur.
If the regulator fails, the pressure delivered to the tool must not
exceed 200 psi. The tool could explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.

17
Air Source
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or
within the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify
prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the
rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any
bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Such gases are capable of
explosion and serious injury to persons.
Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Over pressurizing the tool is able to result in bursting, abnormal
operation, breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons.

Operating Instructions
Lubrication
This tool requires lubrication
before using the tool for the first
time and before each use. (fig. 6)
If an inline oiler is used, manual lubrication
through the air inlet is not required on a daily
basis.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
to add lubricant.
2. Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing
up. (fig. 7)
3. Place 4-5 drops of 30 W non-detergent
oil into air inlet. Refrain from using
detergent oils, oil additives, or air tool
oils. Air tool oils contain solvents which
will damage the tools internal
components.

4. After adding oil, run tool briefly.
5. Wipe off any excess oil from the cap exhaust.
Recommended Hookup
The illustration (fig. 8) below shows the recommended hookup for
the tool.
Figure
8 - Hookup diagram, showing all parts separately

20
1. The air compressor must be
able to maintain a
minimum of 70 psi when
the tool is being used. An
inadequate air supply can
cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
2. An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the
tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities
which can rust of “gum up” internal parts of the tool.
3. Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working
pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the
power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is
greater. Use 3/8 inch air hose for runs up to 50 feet. Use ½
inch air hose for 50 foot run or longer.
**For better performance, install a 3/8 inch quick plug (1/4 inch NPT threads) with an
inside diameter of .315 inch (8mm) on the tool and 3/8 inch quick coupler on the air
hose. **
