1. Contact Trip (available system on : SN65Q-CT, SN65S5-CT)
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the workpiece to actuate the trip
mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the workpiece is contacted. This will allow
rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking, and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to
recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to recontact the work
surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
2. Sequential Trip (available system on : SN65Q-ST, SN65S5-ST)
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate
fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing, and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact
fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”. The
Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted
against the workpiece – or anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
Refer to Operation Instructions and warnings pages before proceeding to use this tool.

FITTINGS
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected
from the supply source.
HOSES
Air hoses should have a minimum of 10.6 bar (150 PSI ) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum pressure
that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick disconnecting”
from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE
Use only clean, regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. Never use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as the tool may explode.
REGULATOR
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 ~ 8.79 bar (0 ~ 125 PSI) is required to control the operating pressure
for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 14 bar (200 PSI) as tool
may fracture or burst, causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must be
capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s driving
power. Refer to “Tool Specifications” for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
FILTER
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best performance
and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to
be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool.
Consult the manufacturer’s instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and/or clogged filter will cause a
pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES AS A POWER SOURCE FOR
THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.

OPERATION : LUBRICATION
Cold Weather Operation
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We
recommend the use of permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Air - tool oil added through the air line connection
will lubricate the internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the
seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
If no air line lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. Only a few drops of oil at
a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
NOTE
Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to O-Rings and seals – do not use these low temperature air dryers
without checking compatibility.
CAUTION
Do not store tools in a cold-weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools operating valves and
mechanisms, which could cause tool failure. Test tool without fasteners prior to operations to ensure no malfunction on the
tool due to ice formation.
13

EYE PROTECTION
Which conforms to ANSI/ CE specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from
the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading, operating, or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard
against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury. The employer and/or user must
ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements
of the ANSI Z87.1 and 89/686/EEC, and provide both frontal and side protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES
．Never place a hand or any other part of the body in the discharge area of tool while the air supply is
connected.
．Never point the tool at anyone else.
．Never engage in horseplay.
．Never pull the trigger unless the nose is directed at the workpiece.

TOOL OPERATION SYSTEM
NOTE
Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
There are two available systems in this tools :
1. Contact Trip Operation (available system on : SN65Q-CT, SN65S5-CT)
The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. To
operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull
the trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact
trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
2. Sequential Trip Operation (available system on : SN65Q-ST, SN65S5-ST)
The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener.
To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER.
Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the contact trip is contacting the work and
is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the
work surface, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
The operator must not hold the trigger on contact trip tools except during fastening operation, as serious injury could result
if the trip accidentally contacts someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a
fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, causing injury.

TOOL-SPECIFIC FEATURES
Directional Exhaust Deflector
Depth of Drive Adjustment
Loosen screw as shown. Adjust to desired exhaust
direction and tighten screw.
Loosen screw with 4mm hex key. Move sliding shoe down (away from
nose) to decrease the drive of depth
(shallow) or up (toward the nose) to
increase the drive of depth (deep).
Tighten screw with 4mm hex key.
The “DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT” feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth; from flush with the work
surface to shallow or deep countersink. First, set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as described
above, then use the “DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT” to give the desired depth of drive.
ALWAYS disconnect air supply before performing following adjustment.
WARNING
17

When working on pneumatic tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating tools with problems.
Disconnect the air supply and empty the magazine when inspecting or maintaining the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine parts from the manufacturer or distributor. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give
equivalent performance to the original equipment. Tighten all screws. Keep contact arm moving smoothly.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use O-Ring lubricant on all O-Rings. Coat
each O-Ring with O-Ring lubricant before assembling. Use a small amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After
reassembly add a few drops of Air Tool Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.
AIR PRESSURE AND VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize
fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving
an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or
reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply
source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full
volume flow of air to the tool.
Worn drivers can cause poor driving quality or loss of power:
Worn or chipped driving tips will affect the fastener drive, give symptoms of bent and incompletely driven fastener, and
damaged fastener heads.
When there is a need, please contact a qualified service technician or distributor for this replacement.
