tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Never engage Lnhorseplay. Never pull the thgger unless
the contact frfp is In contact wtth the workplace. Keep othere at a safe distance from the tool while the tool Is In
operation.

•

Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with finger on or under the trigger
as accidental actue_lon may oo_ur and cause Injury.

•

Always keep hands and body away from the fastener discharge area when air supply is connected to the tool. Grip
too/firmly to maintain control whl_e allowing tco9 to recolJ
away from work surface as fastener Is driven.If contact trip
Is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger Is
released, an unwanted fastener may be driven.

Check operation of the c_ltact thp frequently. Never use
the tool if the contact thp, trigger or eprlnge have become
Inoperable, mtsslng or damaged. Do not altar or remove
contact tap, trigger or springs. Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair

•

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the
tool at too steep an angle. The fasteners can dcechet and
cause Injury DO not drive fasteners close to the edge of
the workplace. The workpteos is likely to split, allowing the
fastener to tty free and cause injury DO not attempt to

• Air operated tools require cJesn, dry, lubricated compressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.

DESCRIPTION

Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will damage tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.

The Craftsman 18 Gauge Brad Nailer drives brads from %" to
2%" long. Oiltass design eliminates daily oiling and oil stains
on workpiece. Die cast magnesium body with textured rubber
grip minimizes operator fatigue. I_rga capaoi_ side leading
magazine with posilNe, quick action latch makes loading easy.
Nailer features rear exhaust, single and rapid-fire operation,
adjustable depth of drive control, rubber nose tip and storage
case. Salty feature disabtes toot unless contact tdp is pressed
against workptece. Tapered nosepiece provides operator with
greater visibility for precme fastener placement Rigid nosepiece reduces jamming. The 18 Gauge Brad Nailer is excellent
for molding, furniture making, and picture fremlng.

Moisture will reduce tool performance

OPERA1]ON;

The air tool is equipped with a contact trip safety mechanism that disables too# unless _sct
lrip is pushed
against work. To drive a fastener hold body firmly and
press contact tnp on workpisce where fastener is to be
applied. Pull trigger to ddve fastener into workplace. To fire
a second fastener lilt the tool from the workpisce, release
the trigger and then repeat the above sequence.
OPERATION:

The toal can also be operatad by holding bigger
depressed and pushing contact trip against workplace. A
fastener will be driven each time the cordact trip is pushed
against the workplece. This opera_ng procedure provides
rapid-fire fastener ddving. Never operate tool unless contact b'ip is in contact with workpisce.

OPERATING

Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air
pressure in excess of that which is required will make the

CHECK

Inspect contact trip safety mechanism daily for proper operation Do not operate tool if mechanism is not operating
properly
With the red push-button switch in the rapid-fire mode, perform the fo_towing procedures to test safety mechanism:

Leave trigger untouched while pushing contact trip Into
workpiece Tool must not fire.

•

Pull trigger while contact trip Is dear of wolf and pointed
away from operator and o'_ers. Tool must not fire.

•

Depress and hold trigger, push contact trip against work
where _stener is needed. The tool should drive only one
lastener each time the contact trip is pushed against
