Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of
life.
Potential hazard that may result in moderate injury or damage
to equipment.
- The word " Note " is used to inform the reader of something he / she
needs to know about the tool.
These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the user and others working
with the user. Please take time to read and understand them.
1282-405
Do not use oxygen or any other combustible or bottled gas
to power air-powered tools. Failure to observe this warning
can cause explosion and serious personal injury or death.
Hydrogen
Use only the compressed air to power the air-powered
tools. Use a minimum of ’ (7.6 m) of hose to connect Explosive
the tool to the compressor. Failure to comply will result
in serious injury or loss of life. Combustible
Do not expose a compressor to rain. Store it indoors.
Disconnect the compressor from power source before servicing. Compressor
must be grounded. Do not use grounding adaptors.
Do not direct compressed air from the air hose towards
the user or other personnel.
Never directly inhale the air produced by the compressor.
Do not adjust the pressure switch or safety valve for any reason.
They have been preset at the factory for this compressor’s maximum pressure
Tampering with the pressure switch or the safety valve may cause personal injury
or property damage.
The pump and the manifold generate high temperatures. In order
to avoid burns or other injuries, do not touch the pump, the manifold, or the transfer
tube while the compressor is running. Allow the parts to cool down before handling
or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times.
Make sure the regulator is adjusted so that the
compressor outlet pressure is set lower than the maximum
operating pressure of the tool. Before starting the compressor,
pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves
freely. Drain water from tank after each use. Do not weld or
repair tank. Relieve all pressure in the hose before removing
or attaching accessories.
Oxygen
1282-405
Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to handle
power tools.
Do not use this tool in the presence of ammable liquids or gases.
Sparks that are created during use may ignite gases.

powered tool.
Do not overload the tool. Allow the tool to operate at its optimum speed for
maximum efficienc.
Do not use a tool that is leaking air, that has missing or damaged parts, or that
requires repairs. Verify that all screws are securely tightened.
For optimal safety and tool performance, inspect the tool daily in order to
ensure free movement of the trigger, safety mechanisms, and springs.
Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily lubrication is essential
to avoid internal corrosion and possible failures.
Ensure the oor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes. Floors should be kept
clean and clear.
Always follow all workshop safety rules, regulations, and conditions when
using the tool.
Carry the tool by the handle only, keeping ngers away from the trigger. Do not
carry the tool by the hose, magazine, or any other parts.
Do not use the tool near or below freezing point, as doing so may cause tool failure.
Do not store the tool in a freezing environment to prevent ice formation on the
tools operating valves, as doing so may cause tool failure.
Handling and storage of oil: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact of
oil with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing spray or mist. Store in a
tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area free from
Incompatible substances.
Tripping hazard. The air hose may become a tripping hazard when it is placed in
the work area. Use care when walking in the work area.

before performing any maintenance or changing accessories,
when clearing a jammed fastener, when the tool is not in use,
when it is being handed to another person, and when it is left
unattended. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury or
damage to equipment.
Wear safety glasses with
side shields when operating the tool/compressor and verify that
others in the work area are also wearing safety glasses. Safety
glasses must conform to American National Standards Institute
(ANSI Z87. 1) requirements and must provide protection from
ying particles from the front and the sides.
Air-powered tools are loud, and the sound can cause hearing
damage. Always wear ear protection to prevent hearing damage
and loss. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury.

waste. Sort the
tools, hoses, and packaging in specic categories and
take to the local recycling
center or dispose of in an environmentally
safe way.

Be sure to use a proper air compressor with air-powered tools. The compressor should be
able to supply a minimal air delivery of 0.9 CFM @ 90 PSI to ensure the compressor can run
continuously with the tool.
1282-405
Always use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 4.8 to 7.5 bar (70 to 110 PSI)
Do not exceed the maximum or minimum pressures. Operating the tool at the wrong
pressure (too low or too high) will cause excessive noise or rapid wear of tool.

Lubricator
The use of any other types of fasteners will cause the tool to jam. Failure
to comply could lead to serious injury or loss of life.
It is recommended that a lter-regulator-lubricator is used and located as close to the tool as
possible.
If a lter-regulator-lubricator is not installed, place 2 to 3 drops of compressor oil into the
NPT
inlet plug before each use.
If a lter-regulator-lubricator is installed, keep the air lter clean. A dirty lter will reduce the
air pressure to the tool, which will cause reduction in power, efficienc, and general
performance.
For optimal performance, install a quick coupler in the hose, if applicable.
Verify that all of the connections in the air supply system are sealed in order to prevent air
from leaking.
Verify that all of the connections in the air supply system are sealed in order to prevent air
from leaking. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury or damage to equipment.

-Verify that the tool is in proper working order.
-Verify that the air pressure level (s) are properly set on the air compressor.
Do not use the tool if it is not in proper working order.
Do not use oxygen, CO2 (carbon dioxide) or any other combustible, or bottled gas to power
this tool.
Do not use this tool in the presence of any ammable liquids or gases.
Keep hands and other parts of the body away from the ring head during use.
Do not point the tool towards the operator or other people.
Never attempt to clear a jammed fastener while the air hose is connected.
Do not drive a fastener on top of an existing fastener. Failure to comply could lead to serious
injury or loss of life.

Single-Sequential Actuation
To operate the tool, first position the Workpiece Contact
(nose of tool) on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE
TRIGGER. Depress the Workpiece Contact until the
Workpiece contact (nose of tool) touches the work surface
and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the
tool against the work with extra force. Instead allow the tool
to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second, unwanted
fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger and repeat.
Test the driving depth of the tool
against a sample piece of wood by
pressing the
trigger before working on the
workpiece.
Ensure the discharge end of tool is pointed away
from the operator while adjusting depth).
Disconnect the tool from the air supply line before
attempting to clear a jammed staple.
To clear a jammed Staple
Remove the staples that are stored in the tool’s magazine.
Operate the latch and pull it back to open the magazine.
Use pliers or any appropriate tool to remove the jammed staples.
If the staple is jammed in the firing location, pull the Quick
Staple Extraction lever away from the tool to access and remove
the jammed staple.
Reload the staples into the tool magazine.
Slide the pusher against the staples to close the magazine and verify that
the latch is moved to its original position.
Reconnect the airline to the tool’s air inlet.
Test re 3 to 5 staples into a piece of scrap wood in order to ensure proper
operation.

If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time, apply a generous
amount of lubrication before storing.
The tool should be allowed to run for approximately 30 seconds after lubricating,
in order to ensure that the lubrication is uniformly distributed throughout the tool.
