Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Preparation
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before adjustment or maintenance is
carried out
Recommended air supply
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see specification details)
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc) are correctly rated for the air pressure
to be used
• If an automatic oiler (as per diagram below) is not used, pour two drops of air tool oil into the air
inlet of the quick connector before each use
QUICK COUPLER
TO YOUR
NIPPLE
AIR TOOL
LEADER HOSE
• Dirty, wet air will rapidly corrode the internal working parts of this machine and will shorten its
working life significantly. Water collects in the compressor tank and will cause serious corrosion.
The tank must be drained on a daily basis to prevent water build-up in the air supply
NOTE: Some air tools have built-in regulators which are used to control speed/torque performance .
Where a machine does not have a built-in regulator, the speed/torque can still be adjusted by
varying the pressure on your air supply regulator
Fitting the quick connector
• A ¼" male BSP bayonet quick connector is supplied with this tool. The connector screw fits onto
the air inlet
• Remove the rubber protective cap to air inlet to fit the quick connector
• Applying PTFE tape to the screw threads will help to maintain an air tight seal. Air lines fitted with
matching ¼" connectors will now be a push fit
Checking the safety catch
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment or maintenance
is carried out .
1. Ensure that there are no fasteners in the magazine
2. The Safety Catch (5) should move in and out with no obstruction
3. To test the safety catch is working correctly connect the tool to the air supply
4. Push the safety catch against a piece of wood without pulling the Trigger (7). The tool must not
fire. Should the tool fire it must be repaired before any further use
5. Hold the tool away from the piece of wood. The safety catch should return to the original position
6. Pull the trigger. The tool must not fire. Should the tool fire it must be repaired before any
further use
7. Push the safety catch against the piece of wood, but this time pull the trigger. The tool should fire
and this indicates normal operation
Exhaust
• The Exhaust (8) can be adjusted simply by rotating it. Adjust it before use so that escaping air will
not affect you or others around you
Loading the magazine
WARNING . Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any adjustment, maintenance or
loading is carried out .
1 . Pull back the Magazine Latch (4) until it is held by the Locking Lever (3)
2. Insert fasteners in to the Magazine Loading Point (2) ensuring the point of the fastener is
facing forward (away from the handle of the tool)
3. Pull back the magazine latch and release the locking lever
4. Allow the magazine latch to slide forward and load the nails

Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT. Before firing a nail into the workpiece, always test the depth of penetration on a piece
of scrap material. See 'Adjusting the depth of penetration' below.
1. Connect the tool to the air supply
2. Rotate the Air Exhaust (8) so that air escapes in a safe direction (away from you)
3. Hold the tool firmly against the material so that the Safety Catch (5) is depressed
4. Gently squeeze the Trigger (7) until the fastener is fired. Release the trigger and check that the
fastener has penetrated the material correctly
Adjusting the depth of penetration
• The Depth Adjuster (6) enables you to adjust the depth of nail penetration
• Rotate the adjuster a small amount at a time (clockwise to increase depth, anticlockwise to
decrease depth), firing a nail into a waste piece of material, until the nail head penetrates by the
amount you require
Clearing jams
• Using the hex keys supplied and a 10mm spanner (not supplied), you can remove the magazine
cover to gain access to the magazine should a fastener become jammed
• Unscrew magazine hex screws 3mm (9)
• Unscrew magazine hex screw 5mm (10) (Fig I)
• Unscrew magazine hex screw 5mm (11) using a 10mm spanner to brace the nut (Fig I)
• Taking care not to lose the magazine sliding collet (Fig II), CAREFULLY slide magazine out of
nailer (Fig III)
• Slide spring loading mechanism out of magazine (Fig IV) and check both magazine and nailer
for obstructions
• After clearing any obstruction, ensure spring loading mechanism is inserted correctly (Fig IV)
with spring bracket hooked onto the end of the magazine (Fig. V)
• Reassemble all parts, ensuring everything is replaced correctly and all screws/nuts are tightened
Maintenance
Keep the machine oiled
IMPORTANT: Ensure air tools are kept clean and lubricated. Lubrication is essential to prevent
corrosion of internal parts, which could lead to machine failure .
• Contact your retailer for suitable air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL
ENGINE OIL
Every day, before use:
• With the machine disconnected from the air supply, pour the equivalent of a tablespoon of oil
(1.5ml) into the Quick Connector (or air intake)
• Operate the machine briefly (e.g. 2-4 seconds) at low speed to lubricate all internal workings
Once a week:
• Wipe the body of the tool with a damp cloth. You can use a mild detergent or non-flammable
solvent
• Once clean, lubricate all moving parts with a light oil
NOTE: If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time a combined filter/
lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted at all times.
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the guarantee
