performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all
fasteners. Apply 2 - 3 drops of air tool oil (pro-
vided) in the air inlet two - three times a day. If
the tool will be used outside in the winter, use a
winter gradeair tool oil to help keep frost from
forming inside thetool. Do not use other types of
lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants may

SEQUENTIALOPERATION(Standard)
Hold the tool securely using the handgrip. Keepfinger off trigger
until tool is inposition and you are ready todrive a fastener. NOTE:
Depressing trigger before depressingsafety bracket will prevent tool
Position the nose of the tool on the workpiece, placing the nose at
thedesiredfastenerdrivingposition.
Pressthe tool down firmly against the work surface, fully depressing
the workpiece contact (safety bracket).
Squeeze the trigger onceto drive a fastener.
Allow the tool to rebound off thework surface, and release the trigger
to resetthe workpiece contact. Tool will not drive anotherfastener
until triggeris released, and cannot be bump-fired with sequential

If tool adjustments donot providethe desired results, make air
pressure adjustments at the compressor: Increase air pressure to
drivedeeperor to drive into hardermaterials. Reduceair pressure to
reduce driveor to drive into softer materials. For longesttool and
part life, always use thelowest air pressure necessary to drive
fastenersto desireddepth.
