OPERATION
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine is almost empty of nails, the dry-fire
lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with nails.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the
same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 10.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted. It is advisable
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 drive
depth adjustment on the tool.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
DRIVING NAILS AT AN ANGLE
See Figure 11.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
pointed away from yourself and others.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
positioned correctly. Driving at an angle that is too steep
may:
• cause the nail to miss the workpiece
• cause the nail to ricochet
• cause the workpiece to splinter, causing the nail to come
back toward the operator.
Never drive a nail at an angle by tilting the tool forward.
This could lead to the fastener missing the work surface or
bouncing off the work surface, leading to serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 12.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
To remove a strip of nails from the tool, press the release
button on the pusher. When released, the pusher will slide
forward.
NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine
to prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher.
Press down on the nail stop tab near the end of the
magazine and slide the nails over the tab.
Remove the nail strip from the tool.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 13.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect
the air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while
clearing the jam.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Remove fasteners from the tool.
Insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the driving
mechanism.
Tap the screwdriver gently with a hammer. The inserted
screwdriver should push the driver blade back, freeing
the nail jam.
Remove the bent nail, using needle-nose pliers if
necessary.
If needed, the jam-clearing slide can be used to release the
nail. To use the jam-clearing slide:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Remove fasteners from the tool.
Loosen the wing screw by turning it counterclockwise.
Remove the wing screw, taking care not to lose the small
concave washer.
Pull back the jam-clearing slide to remove jammed or bent
nails.
Push the jam-clearing slide back into place, aligning the
holes for the wing screw with the holes in the slide.
Reinstall the concave washer as shown.
Retighten the wing screw, making sure it is secure.
NOTE: The jam-clearing slide should always be in place
when operating this tool. When using the tool, periodically
confirm that the tensioning wing nut is securely fastened.
