IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You must read this entire manual and familiarize yourself with all
safety, operating, and service instructions before loading, handling,
or using your tool. When used correctly, pneumatic fastening tools
provide a lightweight, powerful, and safe means of fastening. Used
improperly, these tools can cause serious injury to you and those

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
Always wear safety glasses with side shields that meet ANSI
Z87.1 requirements when operating the tool. Make sure all
others in work area wear safety glasses.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection to protect your hearing from noise.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can result in hearing loss.
NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH OXYGEN OR OTHER
BOTTLED GASES
Oxygen and other reactive or high-pressure bottled gases
can cause the tool to explode. Use clean, dry regulated
compressed air from a properly operating air compressor.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING AIR
PRESSURE OF 110 PSI /7.6 Bar.
Exceeding the maximum recommended air pressure can
cause the tool housing to burst, or cause premature failure of
components.
NEVER CONNECT THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY THAT HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO EXCEED 180 PSI/12.4 Bar.
Using a regulated air supply with a line or tank pressure
greater than 180 psi can cause the tool to burst if the air line
regulator fails suddenly.
USE AN AIR HOSE RATED FOR 180 PSI/12.4 Bar OR
GREATER
Always use air hose rated to handle 180 psi or the maximum
potential pressure of the air supply.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE TOOL IF THE TOOL’S
OPERATING CONTROLS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED ORARE NOT
WORKING PROPERLY.
Attempting to use a tool with modified or malfunctioning
trigger or workpiece contact can result in a fastener being
driven unintentionally.
USE CORRECT FASTENERS
Only use the correct fastener for the tool. Using fasteners
with incorrect specifications can jam the tool or cause
serious injuries.
110 psi
4 bar
60 psi 7.6 bar
USE THE CORRECT FASTENERS FOR THEAPPLICATION.
Using the wrong fasteners can cause the workpiece to split and allow the
fastener to fly free.
DO NOT DEPRESS TOOL NOSE WHEN LOADING FASTENERS
Depressing the tool nose during loading can result in tool actuation and an
unintentional fastener drive
AVOID DRIVING FASTENERS INTO KNOTS, ON TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS, AT
WORKPIECE EDGES, OR INTO BRITTLE MATERIALS.
Driving fasteners into extremely hard materials, or driving into workpiece
edges, can cause fasteners to deflect away from the workpiece. Flying
fasteners can cause serious injuries.
KEEP HANDSAND BODY PARTS AWAY FROMAREA BEING FASTENED.
Fasteners can deflect and turn as they are being driven into the workpiece, and
penetrate fingers, hands, and other body parts that may be in the fastening
area.
DO NOT OVERREACH OR WORK WHILE ON UNSTABLE FOOTING
If you lose your balance while fastening, you could drive a fastener into yourself
or a bystander.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF TOOL MALFUNCTIONS OR BEGINS LEAKING AIR.
Operating a malfunctioning tool can result in an injury to yourself or others.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY TO PERFORM MAINTE-
NANCE.
Never attempt to reload a tool, clear a jam, or perform maintenance without
first disconnecting the air supply.
NEVER LEAVE A PRESSURIZED TOOL
UNATTENDED
A pressurized tool could be picked up or handled by someone who is unfamil-
iar with the tool or that has not read the tool manual.
KEEP TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
Place the tool back in the tool box after use, and store the tool out of reach.
DO NOT MODIFY TOOL
Modifications can cause a tool to be unsafe and can cause the tool to operate
improperly.

OPERATIONOPERATION
LOADING FASTENERS
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
The model GRTMP16 Air Nailer is automatically actuated when the nail
in the nose is pressed against the work surface. The nailer continues to
deliver multiple hammer blows until the nail is fully driven, or tool is lifted
off work surface. Never press tool nose down unless it has been
properly positioned to drive a nail into a safe work surface.
WARNING
1. Connect tool to air supply
using quick-connect coupling.
2. Insert nail (A) into guide (B),
head first. DO NOT press nail
into guide forcefullly, or nailer
may begin operating. Mag-
netic holder helps keep nail in
place while positioning nailer
for driving.
3. Tool is now loaded and ready
to drive the nail into the desired
work surface.
1. Hold the tool securely using
the housing as a handgrip. Do
not depress tool nose until tool
is in driving position and you
are ready to drive a nail.
2. Position the nail on the
workpiece, placing the nail
point in driving position at the
desired driving location.
IMPORTANT - If nail is being
driven to secure a joist hanger
or other metal connector, make
sure nail point is centered in
punched hole in connector.
OPERATION
3. Press the tool firmly to begin
driving the nail, and continue
pushing until the nail is fully
driven. Use firm, steady
pressure.
4. After the nail is fully driven, lift the tool off of the work surface.
5. Reload the nailer, and place the tool in position for the next nail to be
driven.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until all desired nails have been driven.
7. Use Grip-Rite™ nails for best results.
8. Increase air pressure to drive into harder materials. Reduce air
pressure to drive into softer materials. For longest tool and part life,
always use the lowest air pressure necessary to drive fasteners.
9. Disconnect tool from air supply when nailing is completed.

TROUBLESHOOTINGMAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Your tool will last longer and perform better if periodic maintenance is
performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating in
top condition.
Lubrication
Disconnect tool from the air supply. Apply three drops of air tool oil
(provided) in the air inlet before each use, and after every 1000 fasteners
driven. If the tool will be used outside in the winter, use a winter grade air
tool oil to help keep frost from forming inside the tool. Do not use other
types of lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants may contain chemicals
harmful to o-rings and other tool components.
Cleaning
Disconnect tool from the air supply. Brush tool off using a parts cleaning
brush or clean rag.
Daily Inspection
• Check for broken, damaged, or excessively worn parts, and repair
or replace as needed.
• Check for air leaks at cap, and nose. Disconnect tool from air
supply immediately if leaks are present, and see dealer for service.
• Make sure all screws are tightened securely.
Always disconnect tool from air supply before performing any service on
tool. Correcting a problem while the tool is pressurized may result in
injury from nail drive or tool operation.
DANGER
Your pneumatic fastening tool has been designed for long life and trouble-
free operation. However, if operating problems arise, please use the
troubleshooting information below to determine how to remedy the prob-
lem.
FASTENER DRIVING PROBLEMS
Fasteners do not drive
completely.
Increase air pressure. Do not exceed 110 psi
(7.6 bars). Add 2 - 3 drops of air tool oil to
inlet.
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fasteners do not drive
completely after air
pressure is increased.
Driver blade worn or broken. See dealer for
replacement.
Tool leaks air. Check for source of leak, and tighten fittings
and screws as required. Discontinue using
tool if air leaks after tightening. Contact your
dealer.
TOOL TROUBLESHOOTING
Always disconnect tool from air supply before performing any service on
tool. Correcting a problem while the tool is pressurized may result in
injury from nail drive or tool operation.
