to reduce the risk of fire, elec-

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
4.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.
6.

DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

7.

USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended, for
example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9.

USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if cutting operation is dusty.

10. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry toot by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safe performance. Follow instructionsfor lubrication and

18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditionsthat may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instructionmanual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service centers. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignitefumes.
SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES FOR FUTURE USE.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye injury.
Always wear approved safety glasses or a face shield when working with this tool.
GROUNDING
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect-the operator from
electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor
cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding
type receptacle, The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord

is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal. Your nailer has a plug like that shown in Figure A.
An adapter, Figures B and C, is available for connecting Figure A plugs
to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.

CORDS

Tools that have 3 wire cords requiring grounding must only be used with
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If
the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use.
Any cord marked as outdoor (The letters "WA" on the cord jacket indicate a
cord recommended for outdoor use) can also be used for indoor work.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating
the smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more calSacity than 18 gauge. When using
more than one extension cord to make up the total length be sure each
individual extension cord contains at least the minimum wire size.

Figure 5, before pulling the trigger to assure safety and proper driving of
the brad. Hold the nailer firmly with both hands, as shown in Figure 5.
One handed operation may result in poor performance.
NOTE: Drive a few brads in scrap wood to get the "feel" of your Electdc
Brad Nailer before you attempt to do any finished work.

NOTE: Do not rapid fire this tool. Damage to the unit could result.

LEVELER

STRIP

Different hardnesses of the material in which you are nailing, will cause
the brads to be driven to different depths. When nailing in soft pine, for
example, the Electric Brad Nailer is quite capable of sinking the brad
heads below the surface of the wood. In order to prevent the brad heads
from sinking into the wood, a Leveler Strip is provided (see Figure 6). To
prevent the brad heads from penetrating too deeply the material into
which you are nailing, pull the Leveler Strip off the Electric Brad Nailer
and reinstall it so that the raised boss shown in Figure 6 is in the front
(where the brads come out).

USE ONLY

IDENTICAL

Only the components shown on the parts list below are to be replaced
by the customer. To avoid the possibility of alteration or damage to the
system, service should be performed by your nearest Sears Electric
Motor Shop/Specialty
repair center. Contact your nearest Sears retail
store.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean clothes to remove dirt, etc.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, etc., it has
been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive
to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended that this tool be used for continuous production work on any
fiberglass material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
CAUTION -- Do not alter, attach special fixture, or redesign parts of this
tool. Also, please follow grounding instructions as explained earlier.

REPLACEMENT

PARTS

TO CLEAR A JAMMED NAIL
This tool should not jam if kept
clean and the correct brads are
used and loaded properly. If a
jam should occur, unplug the
tool and unload any remaining
brads. Slide jam release clip
forward
to relieve
clamping
pressure as shown in Figure 7.
This may be sufficient to clear
jam.
If further
clearing
is
required, the front brad guide
may be moved.
NOTE: Misuse of the tool, such
as actuating it when empty, will
cause excessive heating and
permanent damage to the tool.

Where paneling is being applied over drywall, a slightly longer brad may
be desirable. For this purpose, 1-1/4" brads are available. (Consult your
Instruction Manual for part number). When nailing through paneling,
drywall, and then studding, these longer brads wdl perform adequately. In
other applications where the brads are to be dnven directly into wood, the
brad heads may protrude slightly above the surface. If this situation anses,
use 1" brads.
