Using the Nailer
Before you operate your nailer, place five
to six drops of air tool oil into the quick
connect fitting where the nailer connects
to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting on your nailer.
2. To test for proper nail penetration, hold
the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
Note: Deflection is caused when
grain irregularities, knots or foreign
objects inside the wood cause the
nail to change its path, resulting in
the nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.
5. Pull the trigger.
— If the nail penetrates the wood to the
depth you want, continue with your
intended operations.
— If the nail either went too far or not
far enough, adjust the depth of fire
by following the procedures listed on
Page 11.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of
deflection (illustrated below in Figure
7).

Read the manual before operation.
Become familiar with these nailers,
their safety instructions, and opera-
tion before beginning any work.
Serious personal injury may result if
safety or operational information is
not understood or followed.
