OPERATION

NO-MAR PAD

See Figure 2, page 16.

The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps

prevent marring and denting when working with softer

woods.

WARNING:

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before

removing or replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to

do so could result in serious personal injury.

The pad can be removed by pulling it down and away from

the nose. To replace the pad, fit it into place over the nose

and push up to reseat.

On-board storage for the pad is located on the magazine of

the tool. An extra no-mar pad is provided in the on-board

storage area.

ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST

See Figure 3, page 16.

The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows

the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator

preference.

To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.

WARNING:

Disconnect the tool from the air supply before

leaving the work area, moving the tool to another

location, or handing the tool to another person.

Failure to do so could result in serious personal

injury.

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY

See Figure 4, page 16.

DANGER:

Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled

gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will

explode and cause death or serious injury.

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed air

at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi . The correct

air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.

NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage

the tool.

The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that allows

all pressure to be removed from the tool when the coupling

is disconnected.

WARNING:

Always use a coupling that discharges all the

compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or

hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling

that does not discharge the compressed air could

cause unintended operation and serious personal

injury.

WARNING:

Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying

a tool that is connected to an air hose. Doing so

could result in serious personal injury.

Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick

connector.

LOADING THE TOOL WITH STAPLES

See Figure 5, page 17.

WARNING:

The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the

tool is first connected to the air supply. Always

connect the tool to a pressurized air supply before

loading nails to prevent injury from unintended

cycling. Always make sure the tool’s magazine

is empty at the beginning of each work session,

before connecting to an air supply.
