SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Read and understand this manual and all the safety instructions before operating this nailer. If
you have any questions, please contact our authorized service centres or retailers for help.
•Never allow the use of flammable gases as a power source for the nailer. Use filtered,
lubricated and regulated compressed air only.
•Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean this nailer. Vapors in the nailer will ignite
by a spark and cause the nailer to explode.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of this nailer (120 PSIG).
•Disconnect the nailer from its air supply before clearing jams, servicing, adjusting and while the
nailer is not in use.
•Do not keep the trigger pulled on contact safety trip mechanism when carrying or holding the
nailer.Never carry the nailer by the air hose or pull on the air hose to move the nailer.
•At the workplace, always wear protective equipment such as Z87 safety glasses, hearing and
head protection.
•Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in the nailer.
•Do not place your hand or any part of your body in the nail discharge area of the nailer when
connecting or disconnecting from the air supply.
•Never point any operational nail driving tool at yourself or at any other person.

LUBRICATION
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
•Your nailer needs to be lubicated before and after the first time you use it.
•Disconnect the air supply from the nailer before lubricating.
•Turn the nailer so that the inlet is facing up and put ONE DROP of high speed spindle oil or oil without
detergent into the air inlet. Never use detergent oil or additives. Operate the nailer briefly after adding
oil.
• Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust. Excessive oil will damage O-rings of the nailer. If a in-line oiler
is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
WARNING!
THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE CORRECT MODE OF CONNECTION TO THE AIR
SUPPLY SYSTEM WHICH WILL INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY AND USEFUL LIFE OF THE NAILER.
•Many air tool users find it convenient to use an oiler to help provide oil circulation through the tool and
it increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in the oiler daily.
•Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove moisture and impurities which can rust
or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter also increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. The
filter must be checked on a daily basis and, if necessary,drained.
•For better performance, install a 3/8” quick connector (1/4” NPT threads) with an inside diameter of
.315” on your tool and a 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.
