Unloading fasteners
Unloading is the reverse of loading, except always
disconnect the air source before unloading.
WARNING: Always unload all fasteners before
removing tool from service.
WARNING: Always disconnect the air source before
unloading.

Clearing jams
Occasionally, a fastener may become jammed in the firing
mechanism of the tool, making the tool inoperable. To
remove a jammed fastener, follow the steps below:
Disconnect the tool from air source.
Remove fasteners from the tool. Failure to do so will
cause the fasteners to eject from the front of the tool
Completely remove the small nose screws

to reveal the jammed fastener.
Using caution not to bend or damage the driver blade,
using pliers or a screwdriver if required to clear the
jammed fastener.

WARNING: Make sure there is no fastener in
magazine before clearing a jam.
WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After disconnecting the
tool from the air compressor, there, should still be
enough air pressure to fire the tool. After the air
hose is disconnected, always fire the tool into scrap
wood

Setting the air pressure
The amount of air pressure required depends on the
size of the fasteners 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 fastener with the air pressure set at 90-
.
and the
95psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the
lowest setting that will perform the job with consistent
results
It may be possible to achieve the desired
.
depth with air pressure adjustments alone.

Firing the tool
The tool is specially designed for single sequential mode.
This mode requires the trigger to be pulled each time a
fastener is driven. The tool can be actuated by depressing
the Work Contact Element(WCE) (G) against the work
surface followed pulling the trigger(H).
The trigger must be released to reset the tool before
another fastener can be driven.

WARNING: Always know the operational mode of the
tool before using. Failure to know the operational
mode could result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING: An improperly functioning tool must not be
used. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the work place.

Work contact element(WCE)
Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
Make sure the trigger and work contact element move
freely up and down without sticking or binding.
Reconnect air supply to the tool.
Depress the work contact element against the work
surface without pulling the trigger, the tool must not
operate. Do not use the tool if it operates without pulling
the trigger. Personal injury may result.
Remove the tool from the work surface, the work contact
element (WCE) must return to its original down position,
the tool must not operate. Do not use the tool if it operates
while lifted from the work surface. Personal injury may
result.
Pull the trigger and depress the work contact
element(WCE) against the work surface. The tool must not
operate.
Depress the work contact element (WCE) against the
surface, pull the trigger. The tool must operate.

CAUTION: Check the operation of the work contact
element trip mechanism before each use. The WCE
must move freely without binding through its entire
travel distance. The WCE spring (I) must return the
WCE to its fully extended position after being
depressed. Do not operate the tool if the WCE trip
mechanism is not operating properly. Personal injury
may occur.
