desired air system accessories.
See Figure 1 for the
recommended accessories and
connection order. Be sure the
air hose is depressurized when
installing or removing adapters
to the air line.
outside use. See manufacturer’s
manual for the AWG required for
the compressor’s amperage draw.
• PAY ATTENTION TO THE AIR
HOSE AND THEIR
CONNECTIONS. Do not trip over
hoses. Make sure all connections
are tight.
•AFTER LOADING THE
FASTENERS. Never point the tool
at yourself or bystanders.
• USE THE CORRECT AIR
CONNECTOR. The connector on

still able to drive a fastener.
• CONNECTING THE AIR. When
connecting the air, the tool may
possibly fire the fasteners as soon
as you plug it into the air hose.
Therefore, remove all the fasteners
before connecting it to the air
supply.
•DO NOT DEPRESS THE

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO
AN AIR SUPPLY
1. Determine if the tool needs
oil and, if necessary, place two
drops of oil in the air plug as
shown in figure 2.

If you are using an automatic in-
line oiler, check and add oil if
necessary
2. Turn the compressor on and
set the regulator to the proper
pressure for the size and type of
fastener being used.
3. Connect the tool to the air
supply (see Figure 1 for
recommendations).
LOADING THE FASTENERS
1. Depress the lock to release
the movable magazine and pull
the magazine out fully as shown
in Figure 3.
2. Place a full clip of the
specified type and size of
fasteners on the fixed
magazine, up to 100 fasteners
may be loaded in the magazine.
3. Push the movable magazine
assembly forward until it locks.
OPERATING THE TOOL
Test the driving depth in a
sample piece of wood before
using. If the fasteners are being
driven too far or not far enough,
adjust the regulator to provide
less air pressure or more air
pressure.
1. Connect the tool to the air
supply. Make sure the air
pressure is in correct range
denoted in the specifications.
2. Load the fasteners.
3. Hold the body and press the
drive guide to the work surface.
Be sure the tool is straight and
the gently depress the trigger to
drive the fastener.
4. Lift the tool off the work
surface.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
1. Frequent, but not excessive,
lubrication is required for best
performance. Oil added through
the airline connection will
lubricate internal parts. An
automatic inline oiler is
recommended, but oil may be
added manually before every
operation or after about 1 hour of
continuous use. (see Figure 1)
Only a few drops of oil at a time
are necessary. Too much oil will
collect inside the tool and be
blown out during the exhaust
cycle. ONLY USE PNEUMATIC
TOOL OIL. Do not use detergent
oil or additives, as these
lubricants will cause accelerated
wear to the seal in the tool.
2. Use a small amount of oil on all
moving surfaces and pivots.
3. Dirt and water in the air supply
are major causes of pneumatic tool
wear. Use a filter/oiler for better
performance and longer life. The
filter must have adequate flow
capacity for the specific application.
Consult the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper maintenance
of your filter.
4. Keep tools clean for better and
safer performance. Use
nonflammable cleaning solutions
only if necessary. (CAUTION: Such
solutions may damage O-Ring and
other tool parts) DO NOT SOAK.
