SECTION 3: OPERATIONS
If the air fitting is not already screwed in, first be
sure the threads are wrapped with teflon tape and
then screw it in the back. Teflon tape is available
at most hardware stores.
To connect the air hose to the air nozzle at the
rear of the nailer:
1. Pull back on the female hose connector
sleeve.
2. Press the fitting onto the nailer air nozzle and
release the sleeve. The female fitting will
lock onto the male nailer fitting.
3. Listen for any air leaks. If no leaks are
detected, you are ready to test fire the nailer.
Air pressure should be set at the minimum
required to set the fastener and must not exceed
90 p.s.i.
Consistently operating at unnecessarily high
pressures will put excessive stress on internal
parts which will lead to premature nailer failure.

Unpacking
The pneumatic nailers/staplers are shipped from
the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If
you discover damaged after delivery, please call
Customer Service immediately for advice.
Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise filing a claim can be difficult.
Carefully remove the items packed in the carton.
It may be a good idea to save the carton and
packing material in case it might be needed in the
future. Upon removal of all items from the pack-
age, you should have:
1. Nail Nailer
2. Allen Wrenches
3. Oil Bottle
4. Air Fitting
Be sure that your air compressor is proper-
ly grounded. If you are unsure of the quality
and condition of the circuit you intend to
use, have it inspected and repaired by a
qualified electrician. Failure to ensure prop-
er grounding could result in serious injury
and/or equipment damage.
NOTE
Please keep all packaging materials until
you are satisfied that the machine is in good
condition. Should you need to file a freight
claim, the carrier’s agent will require inspec-
tion of those materials. Settling a claim can
be difficult if packaging is not available.
