Operating Nailer

If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, DO NOT operate
the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place one
drop of the included oil into the quick con-
nect fitting where the nailer connects to the
air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
Test the loaded nailer for proper nail

penetration. Hold the nailer perpen-
dicular to the surface of a piece of
clean scrap wood that is thick enough
for the length of finish nails you have
loaded. Depress the safety yoke
mechanism on your workpiece.

Before pressing the trigger, make

sure your free hand is positioned out
of the way of a potential path of a nail
in case of deflection. (Deflection is
caused when grain irregularities,
knots or foreign 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 4.) Besides damag-
ing your workpiece, deflection can
cause injury if your free hand is secur-
ing the workpiece in the location that
the nail deflects.
Press the trigger. If the finish nail

drove into the wood far enough, con-
tinue with your intended operations. If
the nail either went too far or not far
enough, then adjust the depth adjust-
ment knob.
Turn the knob clockwise to drive the
5.
nail deeper, or counterclockwise if the
nail is going too deep. (Figure 5.)
