⑴Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
①Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger off the trigger.
②Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely depressed.
③Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
④Remove finger from the trigger.
To drive another nail, move the Nailer along the workpiece and repeat this
procedure.
“METHODS OF OPERATION” found below.
●Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from ring head when using.
●Do not drive nails on top of other nails or with Nailer at too steep of an angle; nails can ricochet
and hurt someone.
●In order to avoid double re or unwanted ejection of a nail due to bouncing of the Nailer.
①Do not push Nailer on workpiece with strong force;
②Take Nailer away from workpiece using recoil;
③Release trigger quickly when performing trigger fire.
●Do not drive nails into thin boards or near corners and edges of workpiece. Nails can be driven
through or away from workpiece and hit someone.
●Never drive nails from both sides of a wall at the same time. Nails can be driven into and through
the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
●Never use Nailer which is defective or operating abnormally.
●Do not use Nailer as hammer.
●Disconnect air hose from Nailer when:
①It is not in use;

WARNING
THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision
fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with the following “Method of
Operation”.
You must first depress the push lever (upward position) where you wnat to drive a nail and
then pull the trigger. After the each nail is driven, completely release the trigger and lift the
tool off the work surface. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may reduce the possibility
of bodily injury to you or others in the work area. This is because it is less likely to drive an
unwanted nail if you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the push lever against
yourself or others. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of
operation compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.
NOTE:
Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are
safe if used as described above and accroding to all warnings and instructions.
Always handle nails and package carefully.
If dropped, the collated nails may break or come loose. In such cases, do not use the nails because,
if used in that condition, nail feed may become faulty and result in missed nails or jamming of the
nails.
After nailing:
⑴Disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
⑵ Remove all nails from the Nailer;
⑶ Supply a few drops (approximately 2 cc (.12 in3)) of iubricant into the air plug
on the Nailer;
⑷Open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moistures.
●Keep your nger off the trigger except during fastening operation, because serious
injury could result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or others in work area.
●Keep hands and body away from the discharge area. The nailer with contact trip
mechanism may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent
fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
●Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the muzzle during a nail
driving operation. Exericise caution!
⑵Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
①Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
②Depress the push lever against the workpiece to drive a nail.
③Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a bouncing motion.
④Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.
As soon as the desired number of nails have been driven, remove your finger from
the trigger.
