GENERAL SAFETY CONDITIONS
WARNING!
When working with an air tool, basic safety precautions, including those listed below, are always recommended to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury.
Read and keep this entire manual before using this tool.
WARNING!
Read all of the instructions below. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or personal injury. The term "air tool" used in the
instructions refers to all tools operated with a compressed air stream at the appropriate pressure.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
Workplace
Keep the workplace well lit and clean. Clutter and poor lighting can cause accidents. Do not work with air tools in an environment
with an increased risk of explosion, containing flammable liquids, gases or vapors. Keep children and bystanders away from the
workplace. Losing concentration can cause you to lose control of the tool.
WORK SAFETY
The air tool fitting must fit into the air supply hose socket. Do not modify the connector or jack of the power cord. All lines, fittings
and sockets must be clean, undamaged, in good technical condition and intended for use with air tools. Air tools are not insulated
from contact with electrical power sources, so avoid contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed. Do not expose your air tools to rain or moisture.
Water and moisture entering the tool increase the risk

damage to the tool and sustaining injuries. Do not overload the air supply line to the tool. Do not use the hose to carry, connect or
disconnect the coupler from the compressed air supply. Avoid contact of the power cord with heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Do not supply your air tool with oxygen, flammable or poisonous gases. Use only filtered and "lubricated" compressed air with
adjustable pressure to power the tool. Make sure that the workpiece is securely and firmly attached and will not move during
machining.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Start work in good physical and mental condition. Pay attention to what you are doing. Do not work while tired or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. Even a moment of inattention while operating the machine may result in serious personal injury. Use
personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles. The use of personal protective equipment, such as: dust masks, safety
shoes, helmets and hearing protection reduces the risk of serious injury. When working with a pneumatic tool, use protective gloves
to protect against both mechanical damage and thermal effects of the tool. Avoid accidentally starting the tool. Make sure the switch
is in the "off" position before connecting the tool to a compressed air supply. Holding the tool with your finger on the switch, or
connecting an air tool with the switch in the "on" position, can result in serious personal injury. Remove any wrenches and other
tools that were used to adjust the air tool before turning it on. A wrench left on moving parts in the tool can cause serious injury.
Keep your balance. Maintain a proper posture at all times. This will allow easier control of the air tool in case of unexpected working
situations. Use protective clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and work gloves away from moving
parts of the tool. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can get caught in moving parts. Use dust extractors or dust collectors, if the
tool is equipped with one. Make sure that they are properly connected. The use of a dust extraction device reduces the risk of
serious injury. The power cord is pressurized, which can cause it to move dynamically and risk of injury. The stored compressed air
energy can be a serious hazard.
USE OF THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
Do not use the tool contrary to its intended use. Do not overload your air tool. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not exceed the permissible maximum working pressure. The
right choice of tools for a given job will ensure more efficient and safer work. Disconnect the power cord before adjusting, changing accessories, or storing the tool to avoid
accidentally turning on the air tool. Keep tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons who are not trained in its operation to use the tool. Ensure proper tool
maintenance. Check tool for misalignment and play in moving parts. Check that any part of the tool is not damaged. If faults are found, they must be repaired before using the
Air Tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Properly maintained cutting tools are easier to control during operation.
Use air tools and accessories in accordance with the instructions above. Use tools as intended, taking into account the type and working conditions. Using tools for work other
than designed increases the risk of hazardous situations. When working, take into account the possibility of breakage of the working tool, which can cause fragments to be
thrown at high speed and lead to serious injury. Make sure that the tool is turning in the right direction. Unexpected direction of rotation can cause dangerous situations. Keep
your hands away from moving parts of the air tool, as this may cause injury. If the driver seat is damaged, there is a risk of the tool fragments being thrown at high speed, which
can cause serious injury. The torque can cause the tool or the torque arm to turn. Serious injury may result if body parts come into range of the rotating tool or the reaction bar.
Adopt a proper working posture and be prepared for tool rotation. Only accessories designed for use with air tools may be used. The use of inappropriate accessories can lead
to serious injuries. In the event of a sudden loss of power to the tool, release the tool switch immediately. as there is a risk of personal injury. If the driver seat is damaged,

REPAIRS
The tool should be repaired only at authorized workshops, using only original spare parts. This will ensure proper operational safety
of the air tool. Do not clean your air tool with gasoline, solvents, or any other flammable liquid. The fumes can catch fire, causing
the tool to explode and serious injury. Use only high-quality agents to maintain the tool. It is forbidden to use agents other than
those specified in the operating manual. Before changing or removing the insertion tool, disconnect the air supply hose.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Make sure that the compressed air source can generate the correct operating pressure. If the supply air pressure is too high, a reducer with a safety valve should be used. The
air tool should be fed through the filter and lubricator system. This will keep the air clean and moisturized with oil. The condition of the filter and lubricator should be checked
before each use and, if necessary, clean the filter or refill the oil deficiency in the lubricator. This will ensure proper use of the tool and extend its life. Only the fasteners
specified in the operating instructions may be used in the tools. The fastener driving tool and fasteners listed in the instruction manual are considered to be one system in terms
of safety. To connect the tool to the pneumatic system, use quick couplings, and the tool should have a non-sealing screw fitting mounted so that no compressed air remains in
the tool after disconnection. Do not use oxygen or other flammable gases to power tools. Tools should only be connected to a supply system in which it is not possible to
exceed the pressure by more than 10% of the maximum value. In the case of higher pressures, a pressure reducing valve should be used with a safety valve installed
downstream of it. To repair tools, use only original spare parts provided by the manufacturer or his representative. Repairs should be performed by specialists authorized by the
manufacturer. so that no compressed air remains in the tool after disconnection. Do not use oxygen or other flammable gases to power tools. Tools should only be connected

WARNING! Professionals are understood to be persons who, as a result of professional training or experience, have sufficient knowledge of tools
for driving fasteners and sufficient knowledge of the relevant occupational health and safety regulations, accident prevention regulations, directives
and generally accepted technical regulations (e.g. CEN and CENELEC standards) to be able to assess the safe working conditions of tools for
driving fasteners. Tool stands attached to a workbench, for example, should be designed and manufactured by the stand manufacturer in such a
way that the tool can be securely mounted, according to its intended use, and not damaged, deformed or displaced. For maintenance, use only the
lubricants specified in the manual. Fastener driving tools with contact actuation or continuous contact actuation marked with the symbol "Do not use
on scaffolding, ladders" should not be used for specific applications. For example, when changing the place of driving requires the use of
scaffolding, stairs, ladders or ladder-like structures, e.g. roof battens. For closing chests or cages. For securing transport safety systems, e.g. on
vehicles and wagons. The noise values given are tool-specific values and do not relate to noise emitted at the site of use. The noise at the place
of application will depend e.g. on the working environment, the workpiece, and the support of the workpiece. Depending on the conditions at the
workplace and the shape of the workpiece, there may be a need for individual noise reduction measures. Such as placing workpieces on
noise-damping supports, pressing down or covering workpieces. Regulate the pressure to a minimum value sufficient for the job. In special cases it
is necessary to wear hearing protection. The vibration values given are tool-specific and do not imply an effect on the hand-arm system when
using the tool. Any impact on the hand-arm system when using the tool will depend, for example, on the gripping force, clamping force, direction of
work, adjustment of the energy supply, workpiece or workpiece support. Before each operation, check that the fuse mechanism and trigger
mechanism are functioning properly and that all bolts and nuts are tight. Do not make any changes to the tool without the authorization of the
manufacturer. Do not disassemble any parts of the tool, such as the fuse, or make them inoperative. Do not perform any "emergency repair" without
proper tools and equipment. It is recommended that the tool undergoes proper maintenance at regular intervals according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Avoid weakening or damaging the tool, for example by: punching or engraving, making changes not approved by the manufacturer, Do

guiding on hard material templates such as steel, dropping or pushing across the floor, using the machine as a hammer, applying
excessive force of any kind. Never point a running tool at yourself or anyone else. When working, hold the tool in such a way as to
avoid the possibility of injury to the head or body in the event of a possible kickback caused by disturbances in the power supply or
hard spaces inside the workpiece.
Never push the tool towards free space. This avoids the danger posed by freely
flying fasteners as well as the dangers of excessive stress in the tool. Disconnect the tool from the power supply while carrying it,
especially when it is necessary to use ladders or assume an unusual position for moving. Carry the tool around the work site by
holding it only by the handle and never with the trigger pulled. Take workplace conditions into account. Fasteners can penetrate thin
workpieces or slide off corners or edges of workpieces and thus endanger people.
For personal safety, use protective equipment such as ear and eye protection.
USING THE TOOL
Before each use of the tool, make sure that no element of the pneumatic system is damaged. If any damage is noticed, the
undamaged system components must be replaced immediately. Before each use of the pneumatic system, dry any moisture
condensed inside the tool, compressor and hoses. Connecting the Tool to the Air System Apply a few drops of SAE 10 oil to the air
inlet. Screw the appropriate end for the air supply hose to the air inlet thread. Make sure that the tool magazine is empty, if not,
empty it. This will avoid the risk of accidentally flying fasteners. Connect the tool to the pneumatic system using a hose with the
inside diameter given in the table. Make sure, that the strength of the hose is at least 13.8 bar. Check for proper connection and
operation by placing the tool outlet on a piece of wood or wood-based material and squeezing the trigger once or twice.
Filling the magazine
Only the fasteners specified in the operating instructions may be used. When filling, hold the tool in such a way that the outlet is not
pointing towards the user or towards other people.
Do not keep your finger on the trigger when filling the magazine.

Pull back on the magazine pusher until it is locked. Insert a bundle of nails or staples through the slot in the magazine. Release the
pusher latch so that the pusher pushes the nails towards the exit of the tool. Do not use different types of nails in one magazine
insert.
MODEL PM-GP-90 PRO
Pull back on the magazine pusher until it locks. Slide the nail pack through the slot in the magazine. Release the pusher latch so
that the pusher pushes the nails towards the exit of the tool. Do not use different types of nails in one magazine insert.
Removing jammed nails
Disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply. Disconnect the tool coupling from the compressed air supply hose quick
coupler. If possible, remove the remaining nails from the magazine. Open the latch of the upper cover of the tool and the cover
itself. Remove nails or nail fragments that caused the jam. Close the top cover using the latch. Go to the procedure for connecting
the tool to the pneumatic system.

Tool work
The tools have a single sequence actuation system. This means that both the trigger and the fuse must be actuated to start the tool.
In such a way that when the tool is placed on the actuation point, only a single operation is triggered when the trigger is pulled.
Subsequent knocking-out operations can only be performed with the trigger in the neutral position while the safety lock is
depressed. Press the tool against the impact point and pull the trigger. If the fastener has been driven too deeply, the pressure in
the system should be reduced by 0.5 bar steps until the desired effect is achieved.
If the fastener protrudes from the workpiece, increase the pressure in the system in steps of 0.5 bar until the desired effect is
achieved. The maximum pressure for the device must not be exceeded. For a given job, it is recommended to use the lowest
possible pressure to save energy, reduce noise, reduce tool wear and increase work safety.

MAINTENANCE
Never use gasoline, thinner or any other flammable liquid to clean the tool. Fumes can catch fire, causing the tool to explode and
seriously injure you. Solvents used to clean the toolholder and body can soften the seals. Thoroughly dry the tool before starting
work. In case of any irregularities in the operation of the tool, the tool should be immediately disconnected from the pneumatic
system. All elements of the pneumatic system must be protected against contamination. Contamination that gets into the pneumatic
system may destroy the tool and other elements of the pneumatic system.
Maintenance of the tool before each use
Disconnect the tool from the pneumatic system. Before each use, pour a small amount of preservative fluid (eg WD-40) through the
air inlet. Connect the tool to the pneumatic system and run it for about 30 seconds. This will allow the preservative liquid to be
distributed inside the tool and to clean it. Disconnect the tool from the pneumatic system again. Apply a small amount of SAE 10 oil
to the inside of the tool through the air inlet and the holes provided for this purpose. SAE 10 oil designed for air tool maintenance is
recommended. Connect the tool and run it for a short time. Warning! WD-40 cannot be used as a proper lubricant. Wipe off any
excess oil that leaked from the oil drain holes. Any leftover oil may damage the tool seals.
Other maintenance activities
Before each use of the tool, check the tool for any visible signs of damage. Keep the drivers, tool holders and spindles clean. Every
6 months, or after 100 hours of operation, have the tool checked by qualified personnel in a repair shop. If the tool has been used
without the use of the recommended air supply system, the inspection frequency of the tool should be increased.
Troubleshooting
Discontinue use of the tool as soon as you discover any fault. Operating an inoperative tool may cause injuries. Any repairs or
replacements of tool elements must be performed by qualified personnel in an authorized repair shop.
