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

Nnlo:

Dirt and abrasive materials presem in all air lines will damage tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.
• Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not
removed from compressed air,

Depress latch (Key No, 59) and slide magazine cover (Key

The female coupling provides a seal preventing loss of
compressed air from compressor tank when disconnected
from male coupling. If connected to tool side of air supply,
the female coupling could seal a compressed air charge in
the nailer which could discharge if the tool trigger is actuated.
The air pressure should be properly regulated.
