ponents, such as a connector and
quick coupler, will make operation
more efcient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Do not install a female quick
coupler on the tool. Such a coupler
contains an air valve that will allow
the air tool to retain pressure and
operate accidentally after the air
supply is disconnected.
Note: Air ow, and therefore tool perfor-
mance, can be hindered by under-
sized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough 3.
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
Close the in-line safety valve be-4.
tween the compressor and the tool.
Turn on the air compressor according 5.
to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.
Adjust the air compressor’s output 6.
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure at any
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,
while checking the air output gauge
to set the right pressure range.
Inspect the air connections for leaks. 7.
Repair any leaks found.
If the tool will not be used at this time, 8.
turn off and detach the air supply
and safely discharge any residual air
pressure.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be
present after the tool is disconnected
from the air supply. However, it is a
good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion
after disconnecting to ensure that the
tool is disconnected and unpowered.
To Attach An Air Connector:
1. Attach a 1/4” Connector (not
included) to the Air Plug (83) on the
Nailer.
2. Wrap about 3” of pipe thread seal
tape (not included) onto threads of
the Connector before attaching it to
the Air Plug.
3. Connect the 3/8” air source hose to
the Nailer.
4. Set the air pressure on compressor to
70 to 120 PSI operating pressure. Do
not exceed 120 maximum PSI.
5. Check air connection for leaks. If any
are present, disconnect the Nailer
from air source hose.
