Connecting air hose
CAUTION:
Do not rest your finger on the
trigger when connecting the air hose.
► Fig.16: 1. Air fitting 2. Air socket
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the tool. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting.
A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool in
such a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at
the time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Make sure all safety systems are in
working order before operation.
Selecting the operation mode
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the actua-
tion mode selector is properly set to the position
for the desired nailing mode before nailing.
► Fig.17: 1. Actuation mode selector
Single sequential actuation mode:
You can drive one nail by one sequential operation.
Select this mode when driving a nail carefully and
accurately.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the position.
Contact actuation mode:
You can drive nails repetitively by placing the contact
element with the trigger held.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the position.
Checking proper action before
operation
Before operation, always check following points.
— Make sure that the tool does not operate only by
connecting the air hose.
— Make sure that the tool does not operate only by
pulling the trigger.
— Make sure that the tool does not operate only by
placing the contact element against the workpiece
without pulling the trigger.
— In single sequential actuation mode, make sure
that the tool does not operate when pulling the
trigger first and then placing the contact element
against the workpiece.
Single sequential actuation
CAUTION:
Do not place the contact element against
the workpiece with excessive force. Also, pull the trigger
fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds after nailing.
Even in the "Single sequential actuation" mode, half-
pulled trigger causes an unexpected nailing, when the
contact element re-contacts the workpiece.
Place the contact element against the workpiece and
pull the trigger fully.
After nailing, release the contact element, and then
release the trigger.

Anti dry fire mechanism
This tool is equipped with an anti dry fire mechanism.
When there are a few nails remaining in the magazine,
the contact arm will be locked in the undepressed posi-
tion to prevent the tool from being activated. When it is
activated, load more nails to resume operation.
Removing jammed nails
CAUTION:
Always release the trigger and dis-
connect the hose before removing jammed nails.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed nails or nail
strip. Failure to do so causes poor nail feeding.
Follow the procedures in "Removing nails" to remove
the nails in the magazine.
Open the latch and release the door, then remove the jammed nail.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance, always release the
trigger and disconnect the air hose from the tool.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Nails
Handle nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail strips have been
handled roughly, they may be out of shape, causing poor nail feed.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight.
