magazine. If the tool is operated with the coil support
plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction
of the tool may result.

Connecting air hose
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting. A hose
coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a
way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time
the air supply coupling is disconnected.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Make sure all safety systems are in working order
•
before operation.
1. To drive a nail, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger, or
Fig.12
Fig.13
2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact
element against the workpiece.
No. (1) method is for intermittent nailing, when you
•
wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately.
No. (2) method is for continuous nailing.
CAUTION:
However when the tool is set to the "Intermittent
•
Nailing" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A
HALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailing
could occur, if contact element is allowed to
re-contact against the workpiece or the other
surface under the influence of recoil.
In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform
as follows;
− A. Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
− B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2
seconds after nailing.
For No. (1) method, set the change lever to
•
the position.
For No. (2) method, set the change lever to
the position.
After using the change lever to change the nailing
method, always make sure that the change lever is
properly set to the position for the desired nailing
method.
