3. Tool Set-Up and Operation
3.1 SET-UP
Connect the air line to the regulator (see diagram to the
right). Wrap all male threaded connections with "Teflon"
tape prior to assembly to prevent leakage.
NOTE: Make sure that couplers are attached only to the
compressor side of the air supply system, and all com-
ponents are rated for the tool operating pressure.
3.2 Lubricate the tool
Use Hilti ATL (Air Tool Lubricant) or an equivalent light-
weight acid-free, non-detergent oil (viscosity 3–4
Engler/20°C; aniline point 60°C).
During normal use, squirt 2-3 drops of oil daily into the
air connector fitting on the tool.
4. Loading the magazine
(Always connect air supply to the tool before loading
fasteners into magazine)
1. Pull the pusher fully back wards until it is held in place
by the pusher latch pin. Open the flap on the maga-
zine all the way up.
2. Insert the strips of nails into the magazine and slide
all the way forward. The nail strips should be insert-
ed parallel to the magazine.
5. Normal operation
5.1 Adjust the air pressure
To the minimum required to drive the fastener, making
sure never to exceed the maximum rated pressure for
the tool (175 PSI).

3. Close the flap fully. Holding the pusher firmly, release
it from the magazine catch and guide the pusher for-
ward until it rests against the fasteners. Do not allow
the pusher to strike the nail strip with full spring force
as it can break up the collation that holds the nails
together and cause jamming. (There is a built-in fir-
ing detent on the pusher that will prevent the tool from
operating when the magazine is empty.)
5.2 Single fire operation
For precision fastenings, place the tool nose in the cor-
rect position and depress the safety yoke, then quickly
pull and release the trigger. Repeat in a new location.
