7CAUTION:• Low air output of the compressor, or a long orsmaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailingfrequency may cause a decrease in the drivingcapability of the tool.LubricationTo insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided forevery 30 nails.Fig.2When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatictool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the airfitting. This should be done before and after use. Forproper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple oftimes after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.Fig.3FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hosebefore adjusting or checking function on the tool.Nose adapterWhen nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces,use the nose adapter. It is factory installed at the rear ofthe tool.Fig.4Attach the nose adapter to the contact arm. When not inuse, store the nose adapter at the rear of the tool to keepit from being lost.Fig.5Adjusting depth of nailingTo adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster so thatthe arrow above the adjuster will point to the numberindicated on the adjuster. The depth of nailing is thedeepest when the arrow points to the number 1. It willbecome shallower as the arrow points to higher number.The depth can be changed in approx. 1.0 mmincrements per graduation. If nails cannot be drivendeep enough even when the arrow points to the number1, increase the air pressure. If nails are driven too deepeven when the arrow points to the number 9, decreasethe air pressure. Generally speaking, the tool service lifewill be longer when the tool is used with lower airpressure and the adjuster set to a lower number.Fig.6ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hosebefore carrying out any work on the tool.Loading nailerSelect nails suitable for your work. Depress the latchlever and open the door and magazine cap.Fig.7Lift and turn the coil support plate to set it to the correctstep. When loading 90 mm long nails, use the bottomstep. When loading 65 or 75 mm long nails, use themiddle step. When loading 45 or 50 or 57 mm long nails,use the top step. If the tool is operated with the coilsupport plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed ormalfunction of the tool may result.Fig.8Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoilenough nails to reach the feed claw. Place the first nail inthe driver channel and the second nail in the feed claw.The nail heads must be in the slot in the feeder body.Place other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close themagazine cap and door after checking to see that thenail coil is set properly in the magazine.Fig.9Connecting air hoseLock the trigger. Slip the air socket of the air hose ontothe air fitting on the nailer. Be sure that the air socketlocks firmly into position when installed onto the air fitting.A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool insuch a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge atthe time the air supply coupling is disconnected.Fig.10OPERATIONCAUTION:• Make sure all safety systems are in working orderbefore operation.Fig.11Fig.121. To drive a nail, you may place the contact elementagainst the workpiece and pull the trigger, or2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contactelement against the workpiece.No. 1 method is for intermittent nailing, when you wish todrive a nail carefully and very accurately.No. 2 method is for continuous nailing.CAUTION:• However when the tool is set to the "IntermittentNailing" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN AHALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailingcould occur, if contact element is allowed tore-contact against the workpiece or the othersurface under the influence of recoil.In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, performas follows;A. Do not place the contact element against theworkpiece with excessive force.
