LUBRICATION

OPERATION

USE ONLY THE AIR TOOL LUBRICANTS SUPPLIED WITH THE
TOOL.

Do not use other lubricants as they may damage the

tool.
If the tool is not used with an in-line lubrication system on
the air supply it is necessary to periodically lubricate the tool
with air tool lubrication.
Under  low  use,  lubricate  once  a  day.  Under  heavy  use,
lubricate  twice  a  day.  To  lubricate,  insert  2-3  drops  of
lubricant  into  the  air  supply  fitting  attached  to  the  tool
handle (FIG 2). Using too much oil will cause it to collect in

the tool and be noticeable in the exhaust.

Do not use detergent oil, WD-40, transmission fluid, motor
oil, or other lubricants not specifically designated as air tool
lubricants. These lubricants will cause accelerated wear to
the seals, o-rings, and bumpers in the tool, resulting in
poor tool performance and frequent maintenance.

2-3 Drops of

Air Tool Lubricant

ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE

Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure
70-115PSI

The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do
the job. Using the tool at a higher than required air pressure
unnecessarily over stresses the tool. Don't exceed 115PSI.

according to the length of nails and the hardness

of workpiece.

FEATURES

ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

Follow the instructions below to prepare your tool for
operation.

All tool operators and their immediate supervisors must
become familiar with the operator safety instructions
before operating the tool.
Included with each tool are one copy of these
Operating/Safety Instructions. Keep this publications for
future reference.
Install a filter, regulator, lubricator unit and moisture trap

on  your  air  delivery  system  per  the  manufacturer's
instructions  for  these  devices.  Additionally,  install  a
pressure  gauge  as  close  as  practical  to  the  tool,
preferably within 10 feet.
Select  hoses  with  a  minimum  inner  diameter  of  1/4
inches and a maximum length of 100 feet.

To reduce the risk of injury from a hose bursting, select
hoses that are rated at least 200PSI.

Select fittings that are appropriately sized for the
selected hoses. The tool and air hose must have a hose
coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool
when the coupling joint is disconnected.

Never use non relieving couplers and/or female quick
disconnect couplings on the tool.

Non relieving couplings

and female couplings will trap high pressure air in the tool
when the air line is disconnected. This will leave the tool
charged with enough air after it has been disconnected to
drive a nail. Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors
should be fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the
tool is vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is
disconnected.

Set the regulator at the air delivery system to a PSI that
falls within the tool's operating range of 70-115PSI.
The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do
the job.
