1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the
possibility of dust being blown up by the ex-
hausted air or of a fastener flying up due to
the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall al-
ways be worn when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the require-
ments of Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21
DEC. 1989 (the American National Stand-
ards Institute, ANSI Z87.1) and provide both
frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the
use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and all other personnel in the work
area.
ENGLISH

BEFORE USING THIS TOOL, STUDY THIS MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY WARNING AND IN-
STRUCTIONS.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CARE-
FULLY AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOW-
ING "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS". FAILURE
TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING

4
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED
IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS
As the working condition may include expo-
sure to high noise levels which can lead to
hearing damage, the employer and user
should ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the oper-
ator and others in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EX-
CEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on com-
pressed air. Do not operate the tool on any
other highpressure gas, combustible gases
(e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is
the danger of an explosion. For this reason,
absolutely do not use anything other than an
air compressor to operate the tool.
4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR
PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air
pressure range of 5 to 7 bar (70 to 100 p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type
of the work being fastened. The tool shall
never be operated when the operating pres-
sure exceeds 8 bar (120 p.s.i.).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which
potentially exceeds 14 bar (200 p.s.i.) as the
tool can burst.
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable
substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Vol-
atile fumes from these substances could be
drawn into the compressor and compressed
together with the air and this could result in
an explosion.
6. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLO-
SIVE ATMOSPHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric
gases, dust or other combustible materials.
7. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the
air line is disconnected, possibly causing in-
jury.
8. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND
EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE
TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the
tool and empty the magazine when operation
has been completed or suspended, when un-
attended, moving to a different work area, ad-
justing, disassembling, or repairing the tool,
and when clearing a jammed fastener.

9. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts
cause accidents and tool damage when the
tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm
that all screws and bolts are tight and prop-
erly installed prior to operating the tool.
10. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS
YOU INTEND TO DRIVE A FASTENER
Whenever the air supply is connected to the
tool, never touch the trigger unless you in-
tend to drive a fastener into the work. It is
dangerous to walk around carrying the tool
with the trigger pulled, and this and similar
actions should be avoided.
11. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
TOWARD YOURSELF AND OTHER PER-
SONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward peo-
ple, serious accidents may be caused when
misfiring. Be sure the discharge outlet is not
pointed toward people when connecting and
disconnecting the hose, loading and unload-
ing the fasteners or similar operations.
12. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS
(SEE PAGE 7)
The use of fasteners other than specified
fasteners will cause the tool malfunction. Be
sure to use only specified fasteners when
operating the tool.
13. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON
THE WORK SURFACE PROPERLY
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the
nose in a proper manner can result in a fas-
tener flying up and is extremely dangerous.
14. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM
THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
When loading and using the tool, never
place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of the tool. It is very danger-
ous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
15. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO
THE EDGE AND CORNER OF THE WORK
AND THIN MATERIAL
The workpiece is likely to split and the fas-
tener could fly free and hit someone.

6
16. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF
OTHER FASTENERS
Driving fasteners on the top of other fasten-
ers may cause deflection fasteners which
could cause injury.
17. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER
COMPLETING OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the
completion of operation, there is the danger
of a serious accident occurring prior to the
resumption of operation, should the tool be
handled carelessly, or when connecting the
air fitting. For this reason, always remove all
fasteners remaining in the magazine after
completion of the operation.
18. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT
TRIP MECHANISM FREQUENTLY IN
CASE OF USING A CONTACT TRIP TYPE
TOOL
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener
may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the contact trip mechanism.
19. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR
ELEVATED PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted sur-
face, start fastening at the lower part and
gradually work your way up. Fastening back-
ward is dangerous as you may lose your foot
place.
Secure the hose at a point close to the area
you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents
may be caused due to the hose being pulled
inadvertently or getting caught.
20. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION
OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG-
GER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOPERABLE,
DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT
WOKING PROPERLY
21. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE
SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free fly-
ing fasteners and excessive strain of the
tool.
22. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL
CONTAINS FASTENERS
23. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IM-
PLEMENT
24. NO HORSEPLAY
25. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTEN-
ERS WHEN ANY ONE OF THE OPERAT-
ING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER,
CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED
26. WEAR THE GLOVES DEPENDING ON
THE WORKING CONDITION
27. WHEN DISPOSING THE MACHINE OR ITS
PARTS, FOLLOW THE RELEVANT NA-
TIONAL RULES
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GENER-
AL CAUTION IN ADDITION TO THE
OTHER WARNINGS CONTAINED IN
THIS MANUAL

DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT
AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed
air. Do not operate the tool on any other high-
pressure gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen,
acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an
explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not use
anything other than an air compressor to operate
the tool.
OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRES-
SURE RANGE
The tool designed to operate within an air pres-
sure range of 5 to 7 bar (70 to 100 p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of
the work being fastened. The tool shall never be

DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAM-
MABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable sub-
stance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile
fumes from these substances could be drawn
into the compressor and compressed together
with the air and this could result in an explosion.
DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fas-
tener even after the air line is disconnected, pos-
sibly causing injury.
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY
THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN
USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool
and empty the magazine when operation has
been completed or suspended, when unattend-
ed, moving to a different work area, adjusting,
disassembling, or repairing the tool, and when
clearing a jammed fastener.
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: Hose has a min. ID of 6 mm (1/4") and
max. length of no more than 5 meters (17").
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 the tool.
3-PIECE AIRSET (Air filter, Regulator, Oiler):
Refer to TOOL SPECIFICATIONS for setting the
correct operating pressure for the tool.
NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and
minimum wear from the tool because dirt and
water in the air supply are major causes of wear
in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is re-
quired for the best performance. Oil added thru
the air line connection will lubricate the internal
parts.

eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust
being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fas-
tener flying up due to the improper handling of
the tool. For these reasons, safety glasses or
goggles shall always be worn when operating
the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements of
Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989
(the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1) and provide both frontal and side
protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use
of eye protection equipment by the tool operator
and all other personnel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face
shields alone do not provide adequate protection.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION
CONTACT TRIP MODEL with ANTI-DOUBLE
FIRE MECHANISM
The anti-double fire mechanism (US patent
5597106, UK patent 2286790) is installed on this
tool.
The common operating procedure on "Contact
Trip" tools is for the operator to contact the work
to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the
trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time
the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fas-
tener placement on many jobs, such as sheath-
ing, 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 re-contact the work
surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still
holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fas-
tener will be driven.

CONTACT FIRE OPERATION
For contact fire operation, hold the Trigger and
depress the Contact Arm against the work sur-
face.
PROCEDURE
1Hold the Trigger.
2Depress the Contact Arm.
SINGLE FIRE OPERATION
(ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM)
For single fire operation, depress the Contact
Arm against the work surface and pull the Trig-
ger. Tool cannot fire a second nail until the Trig-
ger is released and tool can cycle.
PROCEDURE
1Depress the Contact Arm.
2Pull the Trigger.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold
the tool against the work before pulling the trig-
ger. 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 work-
or anything else-while the operator is holding the
trigger pulled.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
Identified by ORANGE TRIGGER.
When using the tool with both hands;
Hold the rear of the magazine to use.
Do not hold the front of the magazine because
your hand may be injured by nails.

1ABOUT PRODUCTION YEAR
This product bears production number at the
lower part of the grip of the main body. The
two digits of the number from left indicates
the production year.
2DO NOT FIRE THE STAPLER WHEN IT IS
EMPTY
3USE A 3-PIECE AIRSET
Failure to use a 3-piece airset allows the
moisture and dirt inside compressor to pass
into the tool directly. This causes rust and
wear, and results in a poor operating per-
formance. The hose length between airset
and tool should be no longer than 5 m since
a longer length results in a reduction in air
pressure.
4USE RECOMMENDED OIL
The velocite or turbine oil should be used to
lubricate the tool. Upon completion of opera-
tions, place 2 or 3 drops of oil into the air plug
inlet with the jet oiler. (Recommended Oil :
ISO VG32)
5INSPECT AND MAINTAIN DAILY OR BE-
FORE OPERATION
Disconnect air supply and empty the maga-
zine when inspecting or maintaining the tool.
(1) Drain air line filter and compressor
(2) Keep lubricator filled in air 3-pieces set
(3) Clean filter element of air 3-pieces set
(4) Tighten all screws
(5) Keep contact arm moving smoothly
6. STORAGE
1When not in use for an extended period, ap-
ply a thin coat of the lubricant to the steel
parts to avoid rust.
2Do not store the tool in a cold weather envi-
ronment. Keep the tool in a warm area.
3When not in use, the tool should be stored in
a warm and dry place. Keep out of reach of
children.
4All quality tools will eventually require servic-
ing or replacement of parts because of wear
from the normal use.
7. TROUBLE SHOOTING/RE-
PAIRS
The troubleshooting and/or repairs shall be car-
ried out only by the MAX CO., LTD. authorised
distributors or by other specialists.
