Safety Instructions
1. Read this manual and understand all safety instruction before operating the
tool.
2. Never allow the use of any type of flammable gases or oxygen as a power
source for the tool. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only.
3. Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool. Vapors in
the tool could be ignited by a spark and explode.
4. Do not exceed maximum permissible operating pressure 110 psi (7.6 bar).
5. Disconnect the tool from air supply before clearing jams, servicing,
adjusting, and during non-operation.
6. Do not keep the trigger pulled on contact safety mechanism when carrying
or holding the tool. Never carry the tool by the hose or pull the hose to
move the tool.
7. At the workplace, always wear the protective equipment such as Z37.1
safety glasses ear and head protection.
8. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in
the tool.
9. Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other
person.

Lubrication And Maintenance
1. Your tool requires lubrication before you use it for the first time.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool before lubricating.
3. Turn the tool so the inlet is facing up and put one drop of high speed spindle
oil, UNOCAL RX22, or 3-IN-1 oil into air inlet. Never use detergent oil or
additives. Operate the tool briefly after adding oil.
4. Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust. Excessive oil will damage
O-rings of tool. If in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet
is not required on a daily basis.
Compressed Air System And Connections
THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE CORRECT MODE OF CONNECTION TO THE
COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM WHICH WILL INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY AND USEFUL LIFE OF THE
TOOL.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use oiler to help provide oil circulation through
tool and increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in the oiler
daily.
Many air, tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquid and impurities
which can rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter also increase the efficiency and
life of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary drained.
For better performance, install a 3/8” quick connector (1/4” NPT thread) with an inside
diameter of .315” on your tool and a 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.

2. Empty the magazine.
3. Make sure the trigger and contact safety mechanism move up and down without
any sticking.
4. Connect air supply to the tool.
5. Depress the contact safety mechanism against the workpiece without pulling the
trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs.
6. Hold the tool clear of the workplace. The contact safety mechanism should return
to its original down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use
the tool if a cycle occurs.
