TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE Lubrication To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.
Load nails into the magazine so that the nail points will be set into the groove at the bottom of the maga- zine. Move the nails into the ejection slot as far as they will go. CAUTION : Always load the same type and size of nail into the magazine. If you load the tool with different types and/or sizes at the same time, a malfunction may result.
3. Loosen the three screws which secure the driver guide a half turn. 4. Turn the adjusting bolt until the desired depth of nailing can be obtained. The adjusting bolt moves 0.7 mm (1 /32") per turn. 5. Tighten the three screws while holding the driver guide so that the projection of the center plate contacts the adjusting bolt.
I I .i Connecting air hose Lock the trigger. Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into position when installed onto the air fitting.
Hook The hook is convenient for hanging the tool tempo- rarily. This hook can be installed on either side of the tool. CAUTION : .Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose when hanging the tool using the hook. Never hang the tool on a waist belt or the like.
I Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain suffi- cient lubrication will cause O-ring to wear quickly. Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over 140” F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or alkalis).
