LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figure 3, page 11.
 Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool's driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is
first connected to the air supply. Always connect the tool
to the air supply before loading nails to prevent injury from
unintended cycling. Always make sure the nosepiece is
empty at the beginning of each work session, before
connecting to an air supply.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, feed
a nail into the nosepiece. Be sure the nails are pointed
downward and at the angle shown.
 Do not hold the tip or head of the nail when feeding into
the nosepiece.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in pos-
sible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this tool.
The use of any other nails can result in tool malfunction,
leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the nosepiece depressed. Doing so
could result in possible serious personal injury.
OPERATION
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 70-75 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
DRIVING NAILS
 Place tip of the nail against the workpiece.
 Push the tool firmly with your palm. Keep the nail in line
with the nosepiece as the nail is driven.
 Remove the tool from the nail when complete.
WARNING:
Never hold the nail with your hand or fingers while driv-
ing the nail. Doing so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
