Operating

Brad Nailer
To operate your brad nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick con-
nect fitting.

the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of a piece of clean scrap wood that is
thick enough for the length of nails you
have loaded.
3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.

4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflec-
tion.
Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities,
objects inside the wood cause the
nail to change its path, resulting in
the nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in Figure 7.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is in the path of the deflecting
nail.
Figure 7. Example of nail deflection.

nect fitting.

against the workpiece.
3. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
