OPERATION

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.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply and
remove fasteners from the tool 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.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
 Light wood assembly
 Finish and trim work
 Decorative moldings
 Picture frame assemblies
 Joint and dowel pinning
 Window beading crafts
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection. Eye protection does
not fit all operators in the same way. Make sure the
eye protection chosen has side shields or provides
protection from flying debris both from the front
and sides.
PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
This is an oil-free tool, therefore lubrication is not required.
However, the occasional addition of air tool lubrication
into the air fitting on the tool is recommended and will not
adversely affect performance or harm the tool.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge
to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of 70-
100 psi.
NO-MAR PAD
See Figure 1, page 13.
The no-mar pad helps prevent marring and denting when
working with softer woods.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply and
remove fasteners from the tool before removing or
replacing the no-mar pad. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
Remove the no-mar pad by pulling it away from and off the
nose of the tool. To replace the no-mar pad, fit it into place
over the nose, then push up and press onto the tool.
On-board storage for the no-mar pad is located on the
magazine of the tool. An additional no-mar pad is provided
in the on-board storage area.
Hex key storage is also located in the on-board storage area.
RELOAD INDICATOR
See Figure 1, page 13.
The reload indicator shows when the magazine is low on
fasteners.
BELT HOOK
See Figure 2, page 13.
The hook will rotate to either side of the tool and can be used
to hang the tool from a belt when the tool is disconnected
and not in use.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 3, page 13.
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.
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 fasteners 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.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed air
at regulated pressures between 70 and 100 psi . The correct
air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 100 psi may damage
the tool.
