Operating the Nailer
1. Attach the Nailer to the air supply at the Air Plug (41). Start your compressor and
check the pressure making sure it is set at the recommended 60-125 PSI and not over
the maximum 125 PSI.
2. After reading the following, it is recommended that you get acquainted with this tool by
practicing on scrap wood until you are familiar with its characteristics.
Always Wear Eye Protection When Using the Air Nailer
3. Turn the Exhaust Cover (4) to direct the air away from the operator.
4. The full sequential trip trigger has a safety device assembled to the nosepiece. The
nailer will not fire unless the serrated collar is depressed. Never attempt to defeat
this mechanism, and never manually hold it back to shoot nails.
5. To place and shoot a single nail, grip the nailer without touching the trigger, and
position the nosepiece on the wood. With your free hand, press down on the top of the
nailer. Give the trigger a quick pull and release.

Loading Nails
ALWAYS WEAR ANSI APPROVED IMPACT SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN
RELOADING OR DOING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ON THIS TOOL. Other
people in the work area must also wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.
Always disconnect the air nailer from the air supply when loading the magazine. Grasp the
finger grip at the lower left side of the magazine, and pull the slide firmly back until it latches.
(See the photo section below.) Insert a strip of clipped-head nails, point down, into the loading
slot on top of the magazine. You may load 3, or more, strips, depending on the size of the nails.
When ready, pull rearward on the finger grip to relieve spring tension, and press the magazine
latch in to release the slide. Hold the slide grip to allow it to close gently.
