Operating Instructions
Air Supply Connection

TO YOUR
AIR TOOL
LEADER HOSE
This tool should be connected to a clean air supply, with in-line oiler and
water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated in the
specifications
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
• Ensure that condensate is drained from air system daily
Preparing the tool
• A ¼" bayonet quick connector is supplied with this tool. The connector is
a screw fit into the Air Inlet /
tape to the screw threads will help to maintain an air tight seal. Air lines
fitted with matching ¼" connectors will now be a push fit
• With the quick connector pointing uppermost, pour a few drops of Air Tool
Oil (3) into connector and allow it to run down into the mechanism
Checking the safety catch
Warning: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any
adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
• Ensure that there are no fasteners in the magazine
• The Safety Catch (6) should move in and out with no obstruction
To test the safety catch is working correctly:
1. Connect the tool to the air supply
2. Push the Safety Catch (6) against a piece of wood without pulling the
Trigger (1). The tool must not fire. If the tool fires, it must be repaired
before any further use
3. Hold the tool away from the piece of wood. The Safety Catch (6) should
return to the original position
4. Pull the Trigger (1). The tool must not fire. If the tool fires, it must be
repaired before any further use
5. Push the Safety Catch (6) against the piece of wood, but this time pull
the Trigger (1). The tool should fire. This indicates normal operation
Loading the magazine
Warning: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any loading,
adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
• Open the Magazine Latch (4) and pull open the Magazine Cover (5)
• Insert fasteners into the magazine ensuring the point of the fastener is
facing forward (away from the handle of the tool).
• Close the Magazine Cover (5) until the Magazine Latch (4) is fully secured
(you will hear a 'click')
Operating
IMPORTANT: Always fire a test staple into a similar piece of material to
ensure that the staple penetrates to the correct depth. Use the regulator to
adjust the air pressure. Reducing the pressure will reduce the depth that
the staple penetrates.

trigger and check that it has penetrated the material correctly
Clearing Jams
Warning: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before any
adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Fastener jammed in magazine
1. Open Magazine Latch (4) and open the Magazine Cover (5)
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers
3. Reload magazine and close securely
Fastener jammed in plate area
1. Remove Screws (8) and then remove nose cover using Hex Keys (7)
supplied. The safety lever can now be removed. Remove screws and
remove main plate
2. Remove the obstruction using pliers
3. Re-assemble the nose plates and check the operation of the safety
lever before using the tool
Maintenance
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool. Note
that when an air tool fails to work, it is generally because the internal
workings have corroded due to residues of dirty wet air and failure to follow
the maintenance instructions given below.
EVERY DAY, before use, with the machine disconnected from the air supply,
pour the equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Operate the
machine at low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times.
Contact your retailer for suitable air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL.
NOTE: Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions
may invalidate the guarantee.
