To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, only use PORTER-CABLE
pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent SAE 20 weight oil. Oil with additives or detergent
will damage tool parts.
1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been properly
drained.
2. Lubricate tool:
a. Use PORTER-CABLE pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20 weight
oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will damage O-rings and
rubber parts.
b. Use a filter when possible.
c. Add 5 to 7 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice a day.
3. Wear eye and ear protection.
4. Ensure canister is empty of all fasteners.
5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip. Do not use tool if assembly
is not functioning properly. tamper with the contact trip. use a tool
that has the contact trip restrained in the actuated position.
6. Check air supply: Ensure air pressure does not exceed recommended operating
limits;70to120psi,(4.9to8.3bar,5to8.5kg/cm2).
7. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.

(CAN/CSAZ94.3)andhearingprotectionANSIS12.6(S3.19)whenoperatingthistool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes: single sequential actuation trigger
mode and contact actuation trigger mode.
Allow the tool to recoil off the work
surface after actuation. If the contact trip remains
depressed a nail will be driven each time the trigger is
released and pulled, which could result in accidental
actuation, possibly causing injury.
The sequential actuation trigger’s intended use is
for intermittent fastening where accurate fastener
placement is desired.
1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
3. Allow the tool to recoil from the work surface.
The contact actuation trigger is intended for rapid
fastening on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the contact actuation trigger, two methods are
available:
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger to drive the fastener.
3. Allow the tool to recoil off the work surface
1. Pull the trigger.
2. Depress the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is pulled,
the tool will drive a fastener every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows
the user to rapidly drive multiple fastener in sequence.
1. Push the (red) trigger lock button down
2. Rotate the (black) selectable trigger button counterclockwise
3. Align the triangular indicator to the desired mode
• ForSequentialMode
• ForContactMode
4. Then push the trigger lock button back up to the un-locked position.
To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when
attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
11 - ENG
• Disconnect air supply and engage trigger
lock.
• Avoid contact with trigger during
adjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted
using the depth adjustment next to the trigger of
the tool. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to
a nominal setting. Test fire a fastener and check
depth. If a change is desired:
1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth
setting wheel (G) to the right.
2. To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth setting wheel (G) to the left.
The adjustment knob has detents every 1/4 turn. Test drive another fastener and check
depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure
required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being
fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that
will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can
cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
Adjust directional exhaust deflector (A) Fig. 10, so
that the exhaust air blast will be directed away from
the operator. The exhaust deflector can be adjusted
any position for directing the exhaust blast away from
the operator. Grasp the deflector and rotate it to the
desired position for the current application.
Non-skid pads (N) help keep the tool from sliding off
the roof.
Adjust shingle guide (O):
1. Loosen the adjusting lever (P) and slide the locking plate to desired position.
2. Tighten adjusting lever firmly.
The locking plate (O) can be used as an aid to position the shingle being nailed a
specific distance (Q) from the front edge of the previous row of shingles (R) as shown.
