AIR SUPPLY LINE
Referto Figure 1.
•The air tooloperates on compressed
air at pressures from 60 to 100 PSI.
•Never exceed maximum pressure.
Minimum air requirements for tool:
Averageworking SCFM 2.6 at 90 PSI.
WARNING: Keep handsand body
away from dischargearea oftoolwhen
connectingair supply.Alwaysdiscon-
necttool from air supplywhen servicing
or adjustingtooland whentool is not in
use.
•Airoperatedtools require clean, dry,
compressedairto ensuretopperfor-
mance, lowmaintenance and longlife.
•Dirt and abrasivematerials present
in all air lines will damage tool
O-rings,valves and cylinders.
•Moisture will reduce tool perfor-
mance and lifeif not removed from
compressed air.
•A filter-regulatorsystem is required
and should be located as closeto
tool as possible (see Figure 1). A
distance of lessthan 15 feet is re(:-
ommended.
•Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will
reduce the air pressureto the tool
causing a reductionin powerand
efficiency.
•The air supplysystem must be able
to provideair pressureof 60 to 100
pounds per square inch at tool.
•All hoses and pipes in the air supply
system must be clean and free of
moistureand foreign particles.
•Do not mountswivel connectorin air
supplyline.
•The air pressura shouldbe properly
regulated.
•Differentworkpieco materials and
fastener lengthswillrequire different
operatingpressure.
•Be sure all connectionsin air supply
systemare sealedto preventairloss.
Never connecta female quick*dis-
connectcouplingto the tool side of
air line connection.A male,free-flow
coupling shouldbe connected tothe
tool side of air lineconnection.
WARNING: The female couplingpro-
vides a seal preventingloss of com-
pressedair from compressortank when
disconnectedfrom male coupling. If
connected to toolside of air supply,the
female couplingcould seal a com-
pressedair charge in the tool which
coulddischarge if the trigger is
actuated.

• Positionand place the fastener
where it must be applied.
•Slide the nailer on to the fastener so
thatthe magnets in the guide bush-
ing (Key No. 18) contactthe fastener
head.
•Hold bodyfirmly withpalm on the
palm rest and fingers on the finger
rest. If necessary, use other hand on
the handle.
•Gently push nailer against fastener
head to activate.The nailer will auto-

OPERATING PRESSURE
• Use only enough air pressure to per-
form the operation.Air pressurein
excess ofthat which isrequired will
make the operation inefficientand
may cause prematurewear or dam-
age to the tool.
•Determine minimumair pressure
required by drivingsome test fasten-
ers intothe workpiece.Set air pres-
sure so that test fasteners are driven
down flush withthe work surface.
Fastenersdriven too deep may dam-
age workpiece.
