OPERATING PROCEDURES
nails. The lowest position is for 1-3/4" nails, the center position is for 1-1/4" and
1-1/2" nails, and the upper position for 7/8" and 1" nails.
3. Remove retainer from a coil of nails, uncoil approximately 3 nails, and position the
coil on the nail support with the second nail in the feed fingers.
4. Close the magazine cover. Close and latch the feeder cover.
5. Adjust the directional exhaust deflector so that the exhaust air will be directed
away from the operator. Grasp the deflector and rotate it to the desired position.
6. Adjust the shingle guide by loosening the retaining screw and sliding the shingle
guide to the desired position. Tighten the retaining screw firmly. (The shingle
guide can be used as an aid in positioning the shingle to be nailed at a specific
distance from the front edge of the previous row of shingles.)
USING THE TOOL
Complete all the steps in Preparing the Tool and Loading Fasteners, above, before
using the tool.
This tool can be fired two different ways:
1. Position the nose of the tool onto the work surface, push forward on the tool to
depress the safety, and squeeze the trigger to fire a nail. This "trigger fire"
method provides the most accurate fastener placement.
2. Squeeze and hold the trigger while pushing the nose of the tool against the work
surface. The tool will fire a nail every time the safety is depressed. This "bottom
fire" method allows very fast, repetitive fastener placement.
CAUTION:
Remove finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool will fire a fastener if the safety is
bumped.
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive nails into materials too hard to penetrate, or at too steep
an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet
causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly, maintenance,
clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Clean and inspect the tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger
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.
The depth to which a nail is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob,
reachable through the window in the front of the clear plastic guard. The depth of
drive is factory adjusted to maximum.
Test fire a nail into a sample of the material you will be working on and check depth.
If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise (upward) to increase
the depth, counterclockwise (downward) to decrease it. Test fire another nail and
check depth again. Adjust as necessary.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
1. Caution: Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Open the feeder cover and the magazine cover. Remove any remaining
fasteners from the nailer.
3. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost posi-
tion. Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers.
4. Follow instructions in Preparing the Tool to reload fasteners.
