Repairs can only be effected by official dealers.
To prevent injuries to yourself and bystanders, refer to tool use, maintenance and
troubleshooting sections for additional information (fig. 1).
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 a 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 (fig. 4).
Remove your finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with
finger on the trigger, the tool will eject a fastener when the safety is pressed (fig. 5).
Never connect the tool to an air hose with pressure exceeding 200 psi or 13.7 bar
(fig. 6).
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 the tool if it is connected to air supply (fig. 11).
Never use the tool if the safety element, trigger or springs have become inoperative,
missing or damaged. It is hazardous to remove the 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 the tool from the air supply whenever the tool stops working (fig.15).
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. Firing the tool 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 the tool at recommended pressure of 4-8 bar.
5 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FASTENER DRIVING TOOLS OPERATED BY
COMPRESSED AIR
fastener driving tools operated by compressed air shall only be connected to
compressed air lines where the maximum allowable pressure cannot be exceeded
by a factor of more than 10%, which can for example be achieved by a pressure
reduction valve which includes a downstream safety valve;

POWAIR0310 EN
Copyright © 2015 VARO P a g e | 4www.varo.com
when using fastener driving tools operated by compressed air, particular attention
must be paid to avoid exceeding the maximum allowable pressure;
fastener driving tools operated by compressed air should only be operated at the
lowest pressure required for the work process at hand, in order to prevent
unnecessarily high noise levels, increased wear and resulting failures;
hazards caused by fire and explosion when using oxygen or combustible gases for
operating compressed air operated fastener driving tools.
6 TOOL USE
1. Read "Safety Warnings" before using the tool.
2. Push magazine lock lever and slide upper magazine to
open magazine.
3. Place strip of nails or staples into the magazine with the
point resting on the fastener guide. Do not load with
trigger depressed.
4. Push upper magazine back until magazine lock latches.
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.

POWAIR0310 EN

7. Disconnect air supply in case a nail or stapler is jammed.
8. Pull the grease shaft and pull the upper part of the nailer
nose open the magazine in the front. Remove jammed
nails or staples and close the front cover.
9. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others and
connect back to the hose.
7 LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) 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.
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.
8 IMPORTANT!!!
If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then
pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after
every two hours of use. This must be done directly along the male coupler or the screw
(OIL) provided for the purpose on the side of the tool’s housing.
Automatic lubrication is also possible using the supplied mini oiler that you have to install
between the threaded connector of the tool and the male coupler. Make sure that the oiler
is always filled with suitable oil.

9 MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the tool from the compressor before adjusting, clearing jams,
servicing & maintenance, relocating and during non operation.
Regular lubrication. If you use 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 to prevent 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 up of dirt and no jammed fasteners.
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.
