OPERATION
DEPTH-OF-DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 11, page 14.
The depth-of-drive of the nail may be adjusted. It is advis-
able to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine
the required depth for the application.
To determine depth-of-drive, first adjust the air pressure
and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the
depth-of-drive adjustment on the tool.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove nails
from the tool.
 Turn the depth selector left or right to change the
depth-of-drive.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply and reload the tool
with nails.
 Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
