The Sears 15 Gauge Finishing Nailer is equipped with
a contact trip safety mechanism
that disables nailer

procedure
is preferred
for
rapid-fire nail driving. Never operate tool unless con-
tact trip is in contact with workpiece.
OPERATING PRESSURE
Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation.
Air pressure in excess of that which is required will
make the nailing operation inefficient and may cause
premature wear or damage to the tool
Different workpiece materials and different nail lengths
witt require
different
qperating
pressure.
Determine
minimum
air pressure
required
by drk, ing some test
nails into the workpiece°
Set air pressure so that test
nail heads are driven down flush with the work surface.
Nails driven too deep may damage workpiece.
Air pressure can be adjusted for nail countersinking.
MAINTENANCE
Lubricate too! daily with quality air tool oil If no air' line
lubricator is used, place five to six drops of oil into inlet
of nailer' everyday,
Keep magazine and nose clean and free of anydirt,
tint
or abrasive particles.
The tip of the ram (Key No. t !) can become dented or
rounded
over time. Square off tip of the ram with a
clean, fine hand file to extend the life of the ram and
nailer° Nail firing will be more consistent
if the ram tip is
kept clean and square,
