OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOREWORD
POWER SOURCE
It’s a he avy duty, coil fed, pneumatic roofing nailer, u sing
compressed air as power source. It is designed to install / ˝-1 / ˝or
0.12˝diameter roofing nails of various lengths. It is widely used for
connection of roofing frame and connection of roofing frame and felt.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at
regulated pressures between 70 and120 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch).
The preferred system w ould include a filter (C) Fig.2, a pressure
regulator (A) Fig.2, andautomatic oiler (B) Fig.2 located as close to the
tool as possible (within15 feet is ideal).
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that a re
detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air-line filter will
remove most of these contaminates and significan tly p rolong the life of
the tool. I f an in-line oiler is not available: place five or six drops of oil,
into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.
Only disconnect quick connector being connected with the connector of
the body tail portion air inlet, no compressed air can be guaranteed
when disconnecting.

PREPARING THE TOOL BEFORE DRIVING
CAUTION:
1. After reading and unders tanding this entire manual, connect tool to
air supply.
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others at all
times.
Always conne ct tool to air supply before loading fasteners.
Do not load fasteners w ith trigger or safety depressed.
Always we ar Z87 approved safety glas ses, and he aring protection
when preparing or operating the tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
2. Depress HANDLE (See A Fig. 14 ) and open t he LATC H. R otate the
UPPE R NAIL HOUSING to the side of the BODY.
3. The ADJUSTER PLATE can be move d up and down when twisting the
ADJUSTE R NUT(see B Fig.15) . According to the length of nail, the
ADJUSTE R PLATE should be adjusted correctly to t he position
Indicated inside LO WER NAIL HOUSING.
4. Place a coil of nails over the LOWER NAIL HOUSING . Uncoil enough
nails to reach the F EED HO OK and place the second nail betwee n the
teeth on the FE ED HOOK. (see Fig. 16).
5. Close the UPPER NAIL HOUSING and depress the LATCH (see Fig.
17).
6. Adjust directional EXHAUST deflector (s ee F ig. 18), so that the
exhaust air blast will be directed aw ay from the operator. Grasp the
deflector and rotate it to the desired position for the current application.
CAUT ION : All line co mponents (ho ses, co nnectors, filters,
regulators, etc.) must meet 150% of the maximum system pressure.

USING THE TOOL
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with theis
tool: Contact Fire and Single Sequential Fire (Black trigger)
Contact Fire
This tool is set up at the Contact Fire mode
1. P ull the trigger with th e tool off the work piece
2. Depress the safety ag ainst the work piece to drive a nail
3. Move the tool along the work piece with a boun cing motion. Each
depression of the safety w ill drive a nail. As soon as the desired number
of nails has been driven, remove your finger from the trigge r.
1-800-348-5004
Single Sequential Fire
1. Position the nail outlet on the work piece with finger off the trigger
2. Depres s the safety firmly until it is comple tely depressed.
3. Pull the trigger to drive a nail
4. Remove finger from the trigger.
To continue nailing in a separate location, move the tool along the
wood, repeating steps 2 - 4 as required.
Remove finger from trigger whe n not driving fasteners.
Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool will fire a fastener if
safety is bumped.
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is to o hard, or at
too steep an a ngle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener
can ricochet causing personal injury.
Disco nnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving working area, moving tool to
another locatio n, or handing the tool to another person.
Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully chec k for proper operation of
trigge r and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless both the
trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is
leaking air or needs any other repair.
3. Driving depth will be adjusted by adjusting adjuster (A) Fig.19 .
Test fire a fastener an d check depth. If the nail is driven too deep,
rotate the adjuster to ma ke safe bracket do wnw ard. Whereas,
