Installing Fastener Strips
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Press the pusher release button and
gently slide back the pusher assembly.
Do not allow the pusher assembly to slide
back fast.
Connecting the Air Supply
Use only clean, dry compressed air with a
maximum pressure of 200 psi. Before con-
necting the tool to the air supply, check the
air compressor regulator gauge to be sure it
is functioning properly, with a range between
70-120 psi. Air pressure higher than 120 psi
could cause injury and property damage. The
correct pressure is the lowest pressure that
will do the job.
To connect the air supply:
1. Remove the plastic plug from the tool air
inlet.
2. Insert a 1/4" NPT quick connector into
the tool air inlet.
NOTE: To improve the seal between
the connector and the tool, and to help
protect against oxidation, apply a PTFE
tape or paste to the connector threads
before insertion.
3. Snap the air hose onto the quick con-
nector.
4. Check for air leakage.

5. Slide the pusher assembly toward the
nose of the tool until it latches. It may
be necessary to tip up the nose of the
tool slightly to seat the staples and close
the pusher assembly.
NOTE: If the pusher assembly will not
close, the fastener strip may be either
upside down or not fully seated in the
magazine.
WARNING
Always use a coupling that discharg-
es all the compressed air in the tool at
the time the fi tting or hose coupling is
disconnected. Using a coupling that
does not discharge the compressed
air could cause unintended operation
and serious injury.
DANGER
Do not use oxygen, combustible gas-
es or bottled gases as a power source
for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing
fasteners. Failure to do so could
result in injury.
Always make sure the tool's maga-
zine is EMPTY before connecting to
the air supply. The tool may actuate
when the tool is fi rst connected to the
air supply. Always connect the tool
to the air supply before loading nails
to prevent injury from unintended
actuation.
Never install fasteners with the
workpiece contact or trigger acti-
vated. Failure to do so could result
in injury.
Use only recommended fasteners
of the correct size, length, collation
angle and head type, as indicated
on the tool's nameplate. Refer to the
"Accessories" section for informa-
tion on recommended fasteners.
Other fasteners could result in tool
malfunction, leading to injury.
4. Place fastener strips into the magazine
with the points of the staples pointing
out.
NOTE: Use only recommended fas-
teners of the correct size and width as
indicated on the tool's nameplate.
