Set Up
For best service you should incorporate an oiler, regulator, and inline filter, as shown in the
diagram above. Hoses, couplers, oilers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor
Freight Tools.
1. You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air Plug
(41) on the Nailer. First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal
tape before connecting to the Air Source Hose (not included). Connect the Air Source
Hose to the Air Plug (41).
Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system on your air compressor, before operation,
add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Remove the air line at the
inlet and put 2 or 3 drops of good quality air tool oil into the air fitting each day of use. With
heavy, prolonged use, do this at least twice a day.
2. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 60-125 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum air
pressure of 125 PSI.
Note: About Air Consumption - CFM Air fastening tools are classified as “intermittent use”,
and, as such, may be operated by compressors of almost any size. Small, portable units
may not be suitable for high volume work, but will satisfactorily power the nailer for work at
a slower rate. The air demand of any fastening tool depends largely upon how quickly the
tool is to be used. PRESSURE - Use the lowest air pressure that will sufficiently drive the
fastener into the wood. This will depend on the density of the wood, and upon the size and
length of the nails being used. Vary the air pressure to adjust the driven depth, without
exceeding hte maximum air pressure of 125 PSI.
3. Check the air connection for leaks.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure the parts listed on page 10 are included.
If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number
on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.
Warning! Disconnect the Nailer from the air compressor whenever loading or servicing.
After disconnecting the Nailer from the air compressor, there could still be enough
air pressure to fire the Nailer. Always fire the trigger repeatedly to make sure all of
the air is expended.
