To prevent eye injuries, always wear safety glasses with hard plastic side shields. Be
sure everyone in your work area is wearing the same type of safety glasses (fig 2)
Always wear hearing protection and hard hat. (fig 3)
Never use hydrogen oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power
source for this tool, the tool will explode and cause serious injury. (fig4)
Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on
trigger, tool will eject fastener If safety is bumped. (fig5)
Never conned tool to an air hose with pressure exceeds 200 psi or 13.7 BAR (fig6)
Air compressors must comply with requirement ANSI B19.3 1981 (U.S.), "Safety
Standard For Compressors For Process Industries." (fig 7)
Air hose minimum working pressure rating of 150 psi (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the
maximum pressure produced in the system is absolutely necessary. (fig 8)
The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is
removed from the tool when the coupling Joint is disconnected. (fig 9)
Use only compressed air coming through 3 pieces set. (fig 10)
Never load fastener before tool connected to air supply (fig 11)
Never use tool if safety element, trigger or springs have become inoperative, missing or
damaged, It is hazardous to remove safety element, trigger or spring. (fig 12)
Before using this tool, make sure trigger, screw and cap are securely tightened. (fig 13)
Do not modify tool without authorization. (fig 14)
Disconnect tool from air whenever the tool stops working (fig15)
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others. (fig 16)
Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials too hard to penetrate. (fig 17)
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners. Tool fired in an inclined angle is also
forbidden. (fig 18)
Do not push safety element on work surface until a second fastener is desired (fig 19)
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The work piece is likely to
split and the fastener could fly free and hit someone. (fig 20)
Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety element depressed. (fig 21)
Do not use tool without Danger label on tool. (fig 22)
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair. (fig 23)
Be sure you are in a balanced position when using or handling the tool (fig 24)
Operate tool at recommended pressure of 4-8 bar
5 TOOL USE
1. Read "Safety Warnings" before using tool
2. Pull the magazine lock lever and slide the side back until it
latches. to open magazine.
3. Place strip of nails into the magazine. Do not load with trigger depressed.

4. Unlatch the magazine lock lever and a spring will bring the
lever back in it’s first position.
5. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself and others
and connect to the hose.
6. Position the nailer nose against work piece and pull the
trigger
7. Disconnect air supply in case a nail is jammed
8. Pull the grease shaft and pull the front part of the nailer
nose open. Remove jammed nails and close the front
cover again.
9. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others and
connect back to the hose.
6 LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) as it increases tool
life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to
the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil
should be avoided.

POWAIR0340 EN
Copyright © 2011 VARO P a g e | 5www.varo.com
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time
(overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time.
The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator
filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow
or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.
7 IMPORTANT!!!
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be
lubricated at least once a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on
the work environment, directly through the male fitting in the tool housing.
8 MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the tool from the compressor before adjusting, clearing jams,
servicing &maintenance, relocating and during non operation.
Regular lubrication, if your tool without using the in-liner automatic oilier, place 2 or 6
drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after 2 hours of
continuous use depending in the characteristic of work piece or type of fasteners.
Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn or broken parts must be
replaced to keep the tool operating safely and efficiently. Check and change all worn or
damaged O-ring, Seals, etc. Tight all the screws and caps in case personal injury.
Make regular inspection for free movement of trigger, Spring and safety mechanism to
assure safe system is complete and functional: no loose and missing parts, no building
or stocking parts.
Keep magazine and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt lint or abrasive particles.
When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be kept warm by any convenient,
safe method.
