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. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 50 nails. When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops in[...]

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. To [...]

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. 6. If nails ar[...]

I I .i Connecting air hose Lock the trigger. Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the nailer.
