secure it with the screw.
Use the nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before installing or
•
removing the nose adapter.
Fig.7
If you like to protect the surface of workpiece, attach
the nose adapter of contact element.
When nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces,
use the nose adapter. To attach the nose adapter to the
contact element, press it onto the contact element until
the protrusion in three places inside the nose adapter fit
in three holes in the contact element.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the air hose before loading the
•
nailer.
Loading the nailer
CAUTION:
Make sure that the coil support plate is set to the
•
correct step for used nails.
Fig.8
Disconnect the air hose from the tool. Select nails
suitable for your work. Depress the latch lever and open
the door and magazine cap.
Select nails suitable for your work. Depress the latch
lever and open the magazine cap.
Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the arrow with
nail size indicated on the coil support plate will point to
the corresponding graduation increment marked on the
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.
Fig.9
Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoil
enough nails to reach the nail guide. Place the first nail
in the feeder and the second nail in the feed claw. Place
other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close the magazine
cap slowly until it lock after checking to see that the nail
coil is set properly in the magazine.

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.11
Fig.12
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.

Nailing of steel plate
WARNING:
Use 3.2 mm or les steel for C-shaped one.
•
The tool will bounce severely and a nail struck
back, causing serious injuries.
Use hardened nails only for steel plate.
•
Using other purposed nails may cause serious
injuries.
When nailing, hold the tool so that it stands upright
•
to the driving surface.
Slanted nailing may cause nails to strike back,
causing serious injuries.
When fastening a corrugated zinc plate on the
•
C-shaped steel, use 0.7 mm or less thick plate and
32 mm long hardened nails. Failure to do so may
cause nails to strike back, causing serious injuries.
Do not use the tool for nailing on ceiling or roof.
