Preparing the tool  
Tool lubrication  
This finish nailer requires lubrication BEFORE initial use and  
BEFORE and AFTER each additional use throughout its life.  
3. After lubrication, run brad nailer briefly. Wipe off any  
excess oil from the adjustable deflector exhaust (1).  
The work surface can become damaged by excessive  
lubrication.  
1. Disconnect the air hose, turn the finish nailer so the air  
inlet (3) is facing up. Place 3-4 drops of non detergent  
oil into the air inlet. Do not use air tool oil as it contains  
solvents which will damage the nailer’s internal parts.  
4. Finish nailer repairs must be done by a qualified and  
experienced service dealer.  
2. Lubricate the drive safety cover & slide guide (8), trigger  
(2) and magazine slide mechanism periodically.  
Place a few drops of  
non-detergent oil into air  
inlet before each use.  
Apply a few drops  
of oil to the trigger  
mechanism.  
Apply a thin coat of  
lightweight grease to  
safety slide guides.  
Apply a few drops of oil  
to sliding mechanism of

Loading & unloading the fasteners:  
Operation  
Operating the tool:  
Firing mechanism:  
1. Always disconnect the finish nailer to the air hose before  
loading fasteners.  
This tool operates on a single sequential firing system.  
Where to use finishing nailer.  
Finishing nailer/staplers are used mainly in medium to light  
duty applications. The use of T-Brad finishing nails enable  
the nail heads to be countersunk under the surface of  
your work surface. This is important where the ‘finish’ or  
appearance of the workpiece is a priority.  
Some additional important safety applications are as follows:  
2. Press and pull the latch (4)  
back until it catches onto the  
back of the nail magazine  
cover (5).  
1. Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials  
too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel.  
2. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with  
the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may  
ricochet causing personal injury.  
3. Insert a row of quality T-Brad  
finishing fasteners into the  
magazine. Make sure the  
pointed ends of the fasteners  
are resting on the bottom of  
the magazine.  
3. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece.  
The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly  
free or ricochet causing personal injury.  
Checking the safety strike element:  
1. Disconnect the air hose from the brad nailer and remove  
all fasteners from the magazine.  
IMPORTANT. Make sure  
the fasteners are not rusted,  
damaged or dirty.  
2. Make sure the trigger and the strike nose move freely up  
and down.  
4. Push the nail magazine cover  
(5) forward until the latch  
meets with the nails.  
3. Reconnect air hose to the finish nailer.  
4. Push the strike element against the work surface without  
depressing the trigger. The finish nailer must NOT cycle.  
5. Always disconnect the air hose before unloading  
fasteners.  
5. Remove the finish nailer from the work surface, the strike  
element should return to its original position. Pull the  
trigger, the brad nailer must NOT cycle. If it cycles DO  
NOT use it.

Adjusting the exhaust direction:  
Air source  
1. The finish nailer is equipped  
with an adjustable direction  
exhaust deflector (1). Simply  
adjust the directional exhaust  
deflector so that the exhaust  
air blast will be directed away  
from the operator. Grasp the  
deflector and rotate it to the  
desired position for the current  
application.  
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed  
air at regulated pressures between 75 and 120 PSI.  
The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure  
regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool  
as possible.  
All compressed air contains moisture and other  
contaminates that are detrimental to internal components  
of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these  
contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool.  
If an in-line oiler is not available, place 3 - 4 drops of non  
detergent oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each  
workday.  
Adjusting the fastening depth:  
1. Regulate the air pressure to 120 PSI at the compressor.  
2. Connect the air hose to the nailer and test for penetration  
by driving fasteners into a sample piece of wood. If the  
fasteners do not achieve the desired depth, rotate the  
depth adjustment thumb wheel (10) until the desired  
depth is achieved.  
DANGER. All air line components (hoses, connectors,  
filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working  
pressure rating of at least 120 PSI or 150% of maximum  
system potential, whichever is greater.  
Clearing a jam:  
1. Disconnect the air supply  
from the nailer and remove all  
fasteners from the magazine.  
2. Press the quick release latch  
(9) which will disengage  
the driver safety cover (8).  
Remove the driver safety  
cover (8) so the jammed  
fastener is exposed.  
3. Remove the jammed fastener,  
using screwdriver or long nose  
pliers if required.  
4. Close back the driver safety  
cover tightly.  
5. Test the finish nailer.

Preparing the tool  
Tool lubrication  
This brad nailer/stapler requires lubrication BEFORE  
initial use and BEFORE and AFTER each additional use  
throughout its life.  
1. Disconnect the air hose, turn the brad nailer/stapler  
so the air inlet (3) is facing up. Place 3-4 drops of non  
detergent oil into the air inlet. Do not use air tool oil as it  
contains solvents which will damage the nailer/stapler’s  
internal parts.  
3. After lubrication, run brad nailer/stapler briefly. Wipe off  
any excess oil from the adjustable deflector exhaust (1).  
The work surface can become damaged by excessive  
lubrication.  
4. Brad nailer/stapler repairs must be done by a qualified  
and experienced service dealer.  
2. Lubricate the drive safety cover & slide guide (8), trigger  
(2) and magazine slide mechanism periodically.  
Place a few drops of  
non-detergent oil into air  
inlet before each use.  
Apply a few drops  
of oil to the trigger  
mechanism.  
Apply a thin coat of  
lightweight grease to  
safety slide guides.  
Apply a few drops of oil  
to sliding mechanism of  
the magazine.

Loading & unloading the fasteners:  
Operation  
Operating the tool:  
Firing mechanism:  
1. Always disconnect the brad nailer/stapler to the air hose  
before loading fasteners.  
This tool operates on a single sequential firing system.  
Where to use brad nailer/stapler  
Brad nailer/staplers are used mainly in medium to light duty  
applications. The use of brad nails and staples enables the  
nail heads to be countersunk under the surface of your work  
surface. This is important where the ‘finish’ or appearance of  
the workpiece is a priority.  
Some additional important safety applications are as follows:  
2. Press and pull the latch (4)  
back until it catches onto the  
back of the nail magazine  
cover (5).  
1. Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials  
too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel.  
2. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with  
the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may  
ricochet causing personal injury.  
3. Insert a row of quality brad  
fasteners into the magazine.  
Make sure the pointed ends  
of the fasteners are resting on  
the bottom of the magazine.  
3. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece.  
The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly  
free or ricochet causing personal injury.  
Checking the safety strike element:  
IMPORTANT. Make sure the fasteners are not rusted,  
damaged or dirty.  
1. Disconnect the air hose from the brad nailer/stapler and  
remove all fasteners from the magazine.  
4. Push the nail magazine cover (5) forward until the latch  
meets with the nails/staples.  
2. Make sure the trigger and the strike nose move freely up  
and down.  
5. Always disconnect the air hose before unloading  
fasteners.  
3. Reconnect air hose to the brad nailer/stapler.  
4. Push the strike element against the work surface  
without depressing the trigger. The brad nailer/stapler  
must NOT cycle.  
5. Remove the brad nailer/stapler from the work surface, the  
strike element should return to its original position. Pull  
the trigger, the brad nailer/stapler must NOT cycle.  
If it cycles DO NOT use it.

detergent oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of  
each workday.  
be directed away from the  
operator. Grasp the deflector  
and rotate it to the desired  
position for the current application.  
Adjusting the fastening depth:  
1. Regulate the air pressure to 120 PSI at the compressor.  
2. Connect the air hose to the nailer/stapler and test for  
penetration by driving fasteners into a sample piece of  
wood. If the fasteners do not achieve the desired depth,  
rotate the depth adjustment thumb wheel (10) until the  
desired depth is achieved.  
DANGER. All air line components (hoses, connectors,  
filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working  
pressure rating of at least 120 PSI or 150% of maximum  
system potential, whichever is greater.  
Clearing a jam:  
1. Disconnect the air supply  
from the nailer/stapler and  
remove all fasteners from the  
magazine.  
2. Remove the 3 hex screws  
located in driver safety cover  
(8). Remove the driver safety  
cover (8) so the jammed  
fastener is exposed.  
3. Remove the jammed fastener,  
using screwdriver or long nose  
pliers if required.  
4. Place the driver safety cover  
back onto the driving  
mechanism and tighten the  
3 screws to secure with a  
hex key.  
5. Test the brad nailer/stapler.

Additional safety rules  
for framing gun nailers  
1. Do not play with the contact element. It prevents  
accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and not  
removed. Securing the trigger in the ON position is also  
very dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the trigger. Do  
not operate a tool if any portion of the tool operating  
controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not  
working properly.  
2. Operate the tool within the specified air pressure of  
0.5 - 0.8 MPa (75 – 120 PSI) for safety and longer tool  
life. Do not exceed the recommended max. operating  
pressure of 0.8 MPa (120 PSI). The tool should not  
be connected to a source whose pressure potentially  
exceeds 1.37 MPa (200 PSI).  
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised  
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not  
turn the tool on and off correctly.  
18. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact  
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,  
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.  
3. Never use the tool with other than compressed air.  
If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen,  
hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible gas (hydrogen,  
propane, acetylene, etc.) is used as an air source for this  
tool, the tool will explode and cause serious injury.  
19. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only  
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service  
facility to fit replacement parts.  
20. Disconnect tool from air supply hose. Before doing  
tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving  
work area, moving tool to another location, or handing  
the tool to another person.  
4. Always check the tool for its overall condition and  
loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.  
5. Make sure all safety systems are in working order  
before operation. The tool must not operate if only the  
trigger is pulled or if only the contact safety mechanism is  
pressed against the wood. It must work only when both  
actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation  
with nails unloaded.  
21. Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or  
damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all  
screws and caps are securely tightened.  
22. Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety  
glasses with side shields.  
6. Check working environment. Check walls, ceilings,  
floors, roofing and the like carefully to avoid possible  
electrical shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by  
striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.  
7. Use only nails specified in this manual. The use of  
any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool and will  
not be covered under warranty.

8. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never  
attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at  
the same time. Nails may rip through and/or fly off,  
presenting high risk to safety.  
13. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the  
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection  
port area.  
14. Accidental firing can be extremely dangerous.  
When the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool  
with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in  
this condition.  
9. Watch your footing and maintain your balance with  
the tool. Make sure there is no one below when working  
in high locations, and secure the air hose to prevent  
danger if there is sudden jerking or catching.  
15. Handle the tool carefully. As there is high pressure  
inside the tool that can be dangerous if a crack is  
caused by rough handling (dropping or striking). Do not  
attempt to carve or engrave on the tool.  
10. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you  
move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if you  
nail while leaning backward. When nailing against  
perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom.  
You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue  
by doing so.  
16. Stop nailing operations immediately. If you notice  
something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.  
17. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a  
legible WARNING LABEL.  
11. Place the nails with care. A nail will be bent or the tool  
can become jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of  
another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may  
be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react  
dangerously.  
18. Never hang the tool on a waist belt or the like.  
Dangerous accidental firing may result.  
19. Handle nails and their box carefully. If the nails have  
been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or their  
connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.  
12. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compressor  
under pressure for a long time out in the sun. Be  
sure that dust, sand, chips and foreign matter will not  
enter the tool in the place where you leave it setting.  
20. Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place  
exposed to direct sunlight.

CAUTION. Low air output of the compressor or a long or  
smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency  
may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool.  
Preparing the tool  
Selecting compressor  
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air  
output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph shows  
the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure  
and compressor air output.  
Tool lubrication  
This framing nailer requires lubrication BEFORE initial use  
and BEFORE and AFTER each additional use throughout  
its life.  
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of  
approximately 40 times per minute at a compression of  
0.8 MPa (120 PSI). a compressor with an air output over  
3CFM is required.  
1. Disconnect the air hose, turn the framing nailer so the air  
inlet (12) is facing up. Place 2-3 drops of non detergent  
oil into the air inlet. This should be done before and  
after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a  
couple of times after pneumatic nail gun oil is introduced.  
Do not use air tool oil as it contains solvents which will  
damage the nailer’s internal parts.  
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to  
the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure  
exceeds the tool’s rated pressure. Failure to do so may  
result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.  
(ft /3min.)  
2. Lubricate the contact safety mechanism (1),  
the latch (9), and the trigger (4) periodically.

3. After lubrication, run framing nailer briefly. Wipe off any  
excess oil from the exhaust port (3). The work surface  
can become damaged by excessive lubrication.

Where to use framing nailer  
B
Framing nailer guns are used mainly in heavy construction  
applications. Some additional important safety applications  
are as follows:  
4. Press the nail lock (8) and the  
latch (9) will spring forward,  
securing the strip nails against  
the firing chamber.  
1. Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials  
too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel.  
2. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with  
the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may  
ricochet causing personal injury.  
Adjusting depth of nailing  
3. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece.  
The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly  
free or ricochet causing personal injury.  
CAUTION. Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the  
depth of nailing.  
IMPORTANT. Always test the nail depth on a sample piece  
of wood and establish whether the nail head is too deep or  
proud of the surface.  
Checking the safety strike element  
1. Disconnect the air hose from the framing gun nailer and  
remove all fasteners from the magazine (7).

2. Connect the Framing Gun to an air supply and fire a nail  
into a sample piece of wood to determine the driving  
depth has been achieved.  
Air source  
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed  
air at regulated pressures between 75 and 120 PSI.  
3. If the nail depth is not acceptable, disconnect the tool  
from the air supply and re-adjust.  
The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure  
regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the  
tool as possible.  
Connecting the air hose

1. Slip the air coupling of the air  
All compressed air contains moisture and other  
contaminates that are detrimental to internal components  
of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these  
contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool.  
If an in-line oiler is not available, place 3 - 4 drops of non  
detergent oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of  
each workday.

the nailer. Be sure that the  
air coupling locks firmly into  
position when installed onto  
the air fitting (Fig. D).  
2. 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.  
DANGER. All air line components (hoses, connectors,  
filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working  
pressure rating of at least 150 PSI or 150% of maximum  
system potential, whichever is greater.  
Operation  
1. Push the contact safety nose (1) against the work surface  
without depressing the trigger (4).  
Maintenance  
CAUTION. Always ensure that the air hose is disconnected  
from the tool before attempting to perform inspection or
