• Do not attempt to keep the trigger contact element

depressed with tape or wire. Death or serious injury

may occur.

• Always check contact element as instructed in this

manual. Nails may be driven accidentally if the safety

mechanism is not working correctly.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

INSTALLATION

Selecting compressor (Fig. 2)

• Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air

output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph

shows the relation between nailing frequency,

applicable pressure and compressor air output. Thus,

for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of

approximately 60 times per minute at a compression of

1.76 MPa (17.6 bar), a compressor with an air output

over 40 L/min is required. Pressure regulators must be

used to limit air pressure to the rated pressure of the

tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool's rated

pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to

tool operator or persons in the vicinity.

Selecting air hose

WARNING:

• Use a high pressure resistant air hose. The air

pressure used for this nailer is higher than that for other

general finishing nailers. (Fig. 3)

• Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to

assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.

CAUTION:

• Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller

diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency

may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the

tool.

Lubrication (Fig. 4)

To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,

regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust

the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every

50 nails.

When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic

tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air

fitting. This should be done before and after use. For

proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times

after pneumatic tool oil is introduced. (Fig. 5)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before

adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Checking before operation

WARNING:

• Never use the nailer when the safety elements are not

in working order. Using it in that condition may cause a

personal injuries and damage.

This nailer does not fire nails without activating both the

trigger and the safety elements. Before nailing, check the

nailer that the safety systems is in working order by

following the procedure shown below. (Fig. 6)

1. Make sure that nails are not loaded on the tool before

operation.

2. Connect the air hose to the tool.

3. Set the lock lever in the released position.

4. Pull the slide door of the magazine toward yourself.

5. Pull only the trigger.

6. Release the finger from trigger and place the safety

element against the workpiece.

7. Bring the safety element off the workpiece, pull the

trigger and then place the safety element against the

workpiece.

8. If the nailer works between 5 - 7, the safety elements

are not in working order. (Fig. 7 & 8)

Using the trigger lock

The tool has trigger lock to avoid accidents by an

unintentional start. The trigger lock makes the trigger

unmovable and let the tool cause no firing.

To lock the trigger, set the lock lever in the “LOCK ”

position.

Before nailing, set the lock lever in the “FREE ”

position. When not in use, always set it in the “LOCK ”

position and disconnect the hose from the tool. (Fig. 9 &

10)

Adjusting depth of nailing

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before

adjusting the depth of nailing. (Fig. 11 & 12)

To adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster. The depth

of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is turned fully

in the A direction shown in the figure. It will become

shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B direction.

Hook (Fig. 13)

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before

changing the hook installation position and using the

hook.

• Never hook the tool at high location, on waist belt or

potentially unstable surface.

The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.

The hook can be installed on either side of the tool.

When changing the installation position, remove the

screw from the hook. Place the hook on the desired

position and secure it with screw.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before

carrying out any work on the tool.

• Load the same kind, size and uniform length of nails

when loading nails in the magazine.

Loading nailer

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before

loading the nailer. (Fig. 14)

Press the lock lever and open the magazine by pulling it

toward yourself with the lever pressed.
