Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even death to the operator or to bystanders. Do not drive nails on top of other nails. Do not operate the clipped head nailer at too steep of an angle. Nails can ricochet. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders. Do not modify the clipped head nailer in any way. Unauthorized alterations can jeopardize safety in the tool’s operation. Failure to follow this precaution can result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders. On rooftops and other high locations, always as you use the clipped head nailer. You can easily loose your footing if moving When nailing against a perpendicular nail from the top down. This causes less fatigue and reduces the Ensure the work area is sufficiently The work area should be clear and 56 Thoroughly clean and maintain the clipped head nailer after every use. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rust and minimize friction-related wear. Wipe down the entire tool and remove all dust from the moving parts. Properly store the clipped head nailer in a suitable case to keep it ready for the next job. All maintenance and repairs should be performed by an authorized repair facility. Call 1-888-278-8092 to obtain a list of repair facilities in your area or to make arrangements to return the tool for service. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS: 1. Exhaust Cover 2.

Hex Wrenches (2) 7 COMPONENT INSTALLATION Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the clipped head nailer. Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the clipped head nailer’s firing mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the clipped head nailer to discharge a fastener while the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious or per- manent injury or even death to the operator or to bystanders. When selecting an air compressor, it must comply with the requirements of the American National Safety Institute - ANSI B19.3. Choose an air compressor that can supply more than the required air pressure to ensure optimum efficiency. Always use clean, dry compressed air with a maximum pressure of 200 psi. Use a pressure regulator and set the pressure between 70-120 PSIG (5.0- 8.5 kg/cm2G). Before each use, check the pressure regulator to ensure it is functioning within the proper pressure range. Using an air pressure of more than 120 psi can cause the clipped head nailer to malfunction or possibly explode causing severe injury or property damage. SELECTING A PROPER AIR HOSE Use an air hose with the largest diameter and shortest length possible continuous, efficient nailing operations. Using an air pressure of 70 kg/cm2G), an air hose with an inside diameter of 1/4" (6.5 mm) or greater length of less than 6.6 ft (20 m), it is recommended that a 0.5 be allowed between each nailing. Air supply hoses shall have of 150 psi (10.7 kg/cm2G) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced by the compressor or whichever is higher. Low air output by the compressor or a longer a smaller inside diameter in relation to the driving capability of the air nailer. SELECTING A QUICK DISCONNECT 1. Remove the plastic protective from the tool’s air inlet. 2. Insert a 1/4" NPT male disconnect into the the female portion 8 To improve the connection between the quick disconnect and air nailer, and to help prevent oxidation, apply PTFE tape or joint compound to the connector threads before insertion. 3. Snap the air hose onto the quick disconnect on the air nailer. Check for air leaks. LUBRICATION To ensure maximum performance, it is recommended to install an air set (oiler, regulator, and air filter) as close as possible to the air nailer. Adjust the oiler so that approximately one drop of oil will be released for every 50 nails. If an air set is not used or is unavailable, oil the tool using pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 or 3 drops into the air inlet. This should be done before and after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired several times after the oil is introduced to the filter. OPERATING THE CLIPPED HEAD NAILER Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safe-ty glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the clipped head nailer. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Failure to comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent to the ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness Always disconnect the air hose before making adjustments functionality of the air nailer.
