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. Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components. 3. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. 4. Close the in-line safety valve between the compressor and the tool. 5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off. 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. 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. To Attach An Air Connector: 1. Attach a 1/4” Connector (not included) to the Air Plug (83) on the Nailer. 2. Wrap about 3” of pipe thread seal tape (not included) onto threads of the Connector before attaching it to the Air Plug. 3. Connect the 3/8” air source hose to the Nailer. 4. Set the air pressure on compressor to 70 to 120 PSI operating pressure. Do not exceed 120 maximum PSI. 5. Check air connection for leaks. If any are present, disconnect the Nailer from air source hose. Rev 09l OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product. Inspect tool before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts. If any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired. Testing the Single Sequential Safety Trip Mechanism TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards. 1. WARNING! Even though the Nailer should be empty during this procedure, ALWAYS point the Nailer at a piece of scrap wood when testing. 2. Completely empty Magazine (71). 3. The Nailer should not fire if Safety (37) is not depressed against the workpiece. 4. Make sure Trigger (56) and Safety (37) move freely, without sticking. 5. Connect air supply to the Air Plug (83). Set the regulator at the recommended 70 to 120 PSI. 6. Test by depressing Safety (37) against the workpiece without pulling the Trigger. The Tool must not cycle (fire). If it cycles (fires), stop immediately and have it repaired by a qualified service technician. 7. Hold tool away or off of workpiece. The Safety should return to its original position. Squeeze Trigger. The tool should not cycle (fire). If the tool fires, stop immediately and have it repaired by a qualified service technician. 8. Depress Safety against workpiece and squeeze Trigger. The tool must cycle (fire) only once. Release the Trigger and squeeze it again. The tool must cycle (fire) only once. With the Trigger held, carefully lift the Nailer and press it against the workpiece again. The tool must not cycle (fire). If it fails Figure 1 Trigger (56) Air Plug (83) Magazine (71) Safety (37) Rev 09l to perform in the manner explained in bold, have it repaired by a qualified service technician. WARNING! Disconnect the Nailer from the air compressor whenever loading or servicing. ALWAYS WEAR ANSI- APPROVED IMPACT SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN RELOADING OR DOING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ON NAILER. Other people in work area must also wear ANSI- approved safety goggles. Loading Nails 1. CAUTION! Make sure Nailer is not attached to the air hose when loading tool. 2. CAUTION! Keep Nailer pointed away from yourself and others at all times. Always disconnect Nailer from its air supply before loading nails. Do not load Nails with Trigger (56) or Safety (37) depressed. 3. Pull the Feeder Shoe (69) all the way to the rear, until it latches. 4. Orient a strip of nails with the tips down and drop the strip of nails into Magazine (71). 5. Slide the strip of 60 10-Gauge nails forward in Magazine. 6. Unlatch the Feeder Shoe (69) and allow Feeder Shoe to slide forward against strip of nails. Operating Framing Nailer 1. Adjust the Exhaust Cover (4) to direct as desired. 2. To fire a nail, place the nose of the Nailer on the workpiece. The Nailer should not fire i...
