Use onlyclean, dry, regulated air within rate range asmarked on tool.Air delivery Required: 0.94 SCFM @ 90 PSI. (30shots per minute).WARNING: Keep hands and body away fromdischarge area of tool when connecting air supply.Always disconnect tool from air supply when servic-ing or adjusting tool and when tool is not in use.• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricatedcompressed air to ensure top performance, lowmaintenance and long life.• Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lineswill damage tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.• Moisture will reduce tool performance and life ifnot removed from compressed air.• The air supply system must be able to provideair pressure of 70-120 pounds per square inch attool.• All hoses and pipes in the air supply system mustbe clean and free of moisture and foreign parti-cles. Hoses must be rated for maximum workingpressure of 150 PSI or 150% of maximum systempressure, whichever is greater.• Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.• The air pressure should be properly regulated.• Different workpiece materials and differentfastener lengths will require different operatingpressure.• Be sure all connections in air supply system aresealed to prevent air loss.WARNING: This tool is equipped with a male, free-flow coupling for air supply connection. To preventaccidental discharge and possible injury, NEVERremove the male coupling to replace with a femalecoupling.To connect tool to air supply:1. Firmly hold tool by its handle with one hand. Besure to point tool away from you and others in thearea.2. With other hand, insert female coupling of airhose over male coupling of tool until hose cou-pling is firmly seated.CAUTION: When connecting or disconnecting airhose, air pressure may cause the the hose couplingto kick back if the hose coupling is not firmly seatedon tool coupling.NOTE: When hose is disconnected from tool, snapthe dust cap over the tip of the tool male coupling.Figure 3-Air Supply LineLOADINGSee Figures 4-6 (Pages 4 & 5)WARNING: To avoid serious injury, disconnect toolfrom air supply. Do not load tool until you are readyto use it. Do not pull trigger or depress contact tripwhile loading tool. Make sure that the tool noseplateis securely closed before loading fasteners.
