a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-  
ing and use common sense when  
operating the tool. Do not use the  
tool while tired or under the influ-  
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-  
tion. A moment of inattention while  
operating the tool increases the risk  
of injury to persons.

as a result of being caught in moving  
parts.  
tool use and care  
a.  
Avoid unintentional  
misfires. Be sure Trigger  
(56) is in the OFF posi-  
tion when not in use and  
before plugging in. Do  
not carry any tool with your finger on  
the Trigger, whether it is attached to  
an air source or not. Do not point tool  
towards yourself or anyone whether it  
contains nails or not.  
c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be  
sure the switch is off before con-  
necting to the air supply. Do not  
carry the tool with your finger on the  
switch or connect the tool to the air  
supply with the switch on.  
b. Do not load nails with Trigger or  
safety depressed. Unintentional fir-  
ing may occur. Always assume Nailer  
contains fasteners.  
d. Remove adjusting keys and  
wrenches before turning the tool  
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-  
tached to a rotating part of the tool  
increases the risk of personal injury.  
c. Do not load fasteners when Nailer  
is connected to air hose. Always  
assume tool contains fasteners. Unin-  
tentional firing may occur.  
e. do not overreach. keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
Proper footing and balance enables  
better control of the tool in unexpect-  
ed situations.  
d. Properly adjust Nailer angle to  
match corresponding fasteners  
before inserting nail strip. Failure  
to do so can cause Nailer to jam and  
lead to personal and/or property dam-  
age.  
f.

e. Fire nails into an appropriate work  
surface only. Do not attempt to fire  
nails into surfaces too hard to pen-  
etrate. Do not drive nails on top of  
other nails, or at too steep an angle.  
Nails can ricochet, causing personal  
injury. Never fire this tool into the air  
or point it toward yourself or another  
person.  
trained persons. A tool is dangerous  
in the hands of untrained users.  
m. Maintain the tool with care. Keep  
tool clean. A properly maintained tool,  
reduces the risk of binding and is  
easier to control.  
n. check for misalignment or bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of  
parts, and any other condition that  
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-  
aged, have the tool serviced before  
using. Many accidents are caused  
by poorly maintained tools. There is a  
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.  
f.  
hold tool away from head and  
body during use. Tool may kick  
back, causing injury.  
g. Do not fire fasteners too close to  
edge of workpiece. They may split  
the workpiece and fly free, causing  
personal injury.  
o. use only accessories that are  
identified by the manufacturer for  
the specific tool model. Use of an  
accessory not intended for use with  
the specific tool model, increases the  
risk of injury to persons.  
h. carry tool safely. Carry tool by  
handle.  
i.  
Use clamps or another practical  
way to secure and support the  
workpiece to a stable platform.  
Holding the work by hand or against  
the body is unstable and is able to  
lead to loss of control.  
Service  
a. Tool service must be performed  
only by qualified repair personnel.  
j.  
do not force the tool. Use correct  
tool for application. The correct tool  
will do the job better and safer at the  
rate for which the tool is designed.  
b. When servicing a tool, use only  
identical replacement parts. use  
only authorized parts.  
c. use only the lubricants supplied  
with the tool or specified by the  
manufacturer.  
k. disconnect the tool from the air  
source before making any adjust-  
ments, changing accessories, or  
storing the tool. Such preventive  
safety measures reduce the risk  
of starting the tool unintentionally.  
Turn off and detach the air supply  
and safely discharge any residual  
air pressure before leaving the work  
area.  
Air source  
a.  
Never connect to an air  
source that is capable of  
exceeding 120 pSI. Over  
pressurizing the tool may  
cause bursting, abnormal operation,  
breakage of the tool or serious injury  
to persons. Use only clean, dry,

arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of  
vibration-related injury:  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regu-  
larly or for an extended period should  
first be examined by a doctor and  
then have regular medical check-  
ups to ensure medical problems are  
not being caused or worsened from  
use. Pregnant women or people  
who have impaired blood circulation  
to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-  
vous system disorders, diabetes, or  
Raynaud’s Disease should not use  
this tool. If you feel any medical or  
physical symptoms related to vibra-  
tion (such as tingling, numbness, and  
white or blue fingers), seek medical  
advice as soon as possible.  
3. Take caution, as some woods contain  
preservatives such as copper chro-  
mium arsenate (CCA) which can be  
toxic. When nailing these materials,  
extra care should be taken to avoid  
inhalation and minimize skin contact.  
4. WARNING: The brass components  
of this product contain lead, a chemi-  
cal known to the State of California  
to cause birth defects (or other repro-  
ductive harm). (California Health &  
Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)  
5. Only use with accessories rated to  
handle forces exerted by tool during  
operation. Other accessories not de-  
signed for the forces generated may  
break and forcefully launch pieces.  
2. Do not smoke during use. Nico-  
tine reduces the blood supply to the  
hands and fingers, increasing the risk  
of vibration-related injury.  
6. Attach all accessories properly to the  
tool before connecting the air sup-  
ply. A loose accessory may detach or  
break during operation.  
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the  
vibration effects on the user.  
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration  
when there is a choice between dif-  
ferent processes.  
7. Obey the manual for the air compres-  
sor used to power this tool.  
5. Include vibration-free periods each  
day of work.  
8. Install in-line shutoff valve to allow  
immediate control over air supply in  
emergency, even if hose is ruptured.  
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while  
still keeping safe control of it). Let  
the tool do the work.  
9. Do not lay tool down until it has com-  
pletely stopped. Moving parts can  
grab surface and lead to control loss. 7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as  
explained in this manual. If abnormal  
Vibration precautions  
vibration occurs, stop immediately.

ponents, such as a connector and  
quick coupler, will make operation  
more efficient, but are not required.  
Note: Residual air pressure should not be  
present after the tool is disconnected  
from the air supply. However, it is a  
good safety measure to attempt to  
discharge the tool in a safe fashion  
after disconnecting to ensure that the  
tool is disconnected and unpowered.  
WARNING! tO pREVENt SERIOuS  
INjuRY FROM AccIdENtAL  
OpERAtION:  
do not install a female quick  
coupler on the tool. Such a coupler  
contains an air valve that will allow  
the air tool to retain pressure and  
operate accidentally after the air  
supply is disconnected.  
To Attach An Air Connector:  
1. Attach a 1/4” Connector (not  
included) to the Air Plug (83) on the  
Nailer.  
Note: Air flow, and therefore tool perfor-  
mance, can be hindered by under-  
sized air supply components.  
2. Wrap about 3” of pipe thread seal  
tape (not included) onto threads of  
the Connector before attaching it to  
the Air Plug.  
3. The air hose must be long enough  
to reach the work area with enough  
extra length to allow free movement  
while working.  
3. Connect the 3/8” air source hose to  
the Nailer.  
4. Close the in-line safety valve be-  
tween the compressor and the tool.  
4. Set the air pressure on compressor to  
70 to 120 PSI operating pressure. Do  
not exceed 120 maximum PSI.  
5. Turn on the air compressor according  
to the manufacturer’s directions and  
allow it to build up pressure until it  
cycles off.  
5. Check air connection for leaks. If any  
are present, disconnect the Nailer  
from air source hose.  
6. Adjust the air compressor’s output  
regulator so that the air output is  
enough to properly power the tool,  
but the output will not exceed the  
tool’s maximum air pressure at any  
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,  
while checking the air output gauge  
to set the right pressure range.  
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.  
Repair any leaks found.  
8. If the tool will not be used at this time,  
turn off and detach the air supply  
and safely discharge any residual air  
pressure.
