observing appropriate safety rules and procedures as outlined in this manual.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the SAFETY portion of this manual and
throughout text in this manual where a potential hazard might occur.

In addition to SAFETY ALERTS listed above, there could also be numerous symbols
alerting the operator that specific safety equipment is required to safely operate this
tool. Learn these SAFETY SYMBOLS as well as the SAFETY ALERTS to prevent
injury to the operator and to bystanders.
READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand tool labels,
safety warnings and precautions in this manual before operating the tool.
Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in serious injury or even death
to the operator or bystanders.

Hazards that MUST be avoided to prevent serious injury follow headers marked
DANGER or WARNING. These same precautions are placed as labels on the tool
itself.
NEVER use this nailer for applications that are NOT specified in this manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WEAR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses must conform to
the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1
and provide protection against flying particles from both front and side.

Do not operate brad nailer anywhere fastener may contact hidden electrical
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make all metal parts of the brad nailer
“live.” This can result in severe electrical shock, severe burns or death to the
operator. Contact a qualified electrical contractor to ensure a safe working environment exists.

WEAR HEARING PROTECTORS: Hearing protectors should be worn to
protect the ears from loud exhaust noise produced by the air tools.

Be aware of conduits or gas pipes. Striking a gas pipe could result in an explosion causing serious injuries or even death to the operator or bystanders.

USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY COMPRESSED AIR: Never use oxygen, combustible gases and any other bottled gas to operate air tools. Using these
other sources can cause the air tool to explode.
NEVER POINT THE BRAD NAILER AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS: Fasteners
are under extreme pressure and can cause severe injury or even death if
misused.
DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.43 kg/cm2G). Using excessive pressure
from the power source can cause the brad nailer to explode resulting in
severe injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.

Be aware of what is behind the work piece. A fastener could travel through the
work piece and out the other side, striking a bystander resulting in serious
injury or even death.
Do not operate the brad nailer in the presence of flammable liquids, such as
gasoline, thinner, paint, or adhesives, gases or dust. Sparks created by the tool
can cause flammable materials to ignite or explode. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away from area where brad nailer is
being used. Distractions can result in severe injury or even death to anyone
who inadvertently gets in the way of nailing operations.
Do not use oxygen, combustible or bottled gases (such as carbon
dioxide or nitrogen) as a power source for the brad nailer. Use
only compressed air from a source as outlined in this manual. The
tool will explode resulting in severe injury or even death to the operator and
bystanders.

Do not connect brad nailer to an air source capable of generating
more than 200 psi (14.06 kg/cm2 G). Over-pressurizing the brad
nailer will result in bursting, abnormal operation or breakage of the
tool. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at levels specified on the tool. Failure to comply can cause severe injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not attempt to fasten the trigger in the “ON” position. This could lead to
an accidental discharge of the brad nailer. Do not operate the brad nailer if any
portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnected, altered in
any way or not in proper working order. Failure to comply with this warning
could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
All air compressors must comply with the requirements of ANSI
b19.3. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure where
air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated operating pressure.
Do not carry the brad nailer with a finger on the trigger. This could lead to an
accidental discharge of the brad nailer. Do not press the trigger of the brad nailer unless it is pressed firmly against the work piece. Do not point the brad nailer at yourself or in the direction of another person. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other
bystanders.
Do not tamper with the work piece contact. The work piece contact prevents
accidental discharge of the brad nailer and should never be removed or compromised in any way. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
Always disconnect air hose and remove any remaining nails:
1. When brad nailer is left unattended.
2. Before performing any maintenance or repair on the brad nailer.
3. Before attempting to clear a jam in the brad nailer.
4. Before moving the brad nailer to a new location.
Always check the overall condition of the brad nailer before using. Check for
and tighten any loose screws. Ensure all safety systems are in working condition before using the brad nailer. The brad nailer must not operate if only the
trigger is pulled or if only the work piece contact is pressed against the work
piece. The brad nailer must only be used if both the trigger and work piece contact work at the same time.

Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safety glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of
the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the brad nailer. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) z87.1. Failure to
comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent damage to the
ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness in the eyes.
Never carry the brad nailer by the air hose. A sudden disconnection of the air
hose could cause the brad nailer to remain charged and an accidental firing
could occur. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to serious injury to
the operator or bystanders.
Always disconnect the power source and ensure the tool is not charged
before loading fasteners. Failure to comply with this warning could cause
severe injury or death to the operator, bystanders and severe damage to the
brad nailer.
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the brad nailer. Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the brad nailer’s firing mechanism. A
non-relieving air coupler can allow the brad nailer to discharge a fastener while
the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure to comply with this
warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even death to the operator
or to bystanders.
Do not drive nails on top of other nails. Do not operate the brad nailer at too
steep of an angle. Nails can ricochet. Failure to comply with this warning can
result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not modify the brad nailer in any way. Unauthorized alterations can jeopardize safety in the tool’s operation. Failure to follow this precaution can result
in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
On rooftops and other high locations, always move forward as you use the
brad nailer. You can easily loose your footing if moving backwards. When nailing against a perpendicular surface, nail from the top down. This causes less
fatigue and reduces the chances of accidents.
Ensure the work area is sufficiently illuminated to operate power tools. The
work area should be clear and free of litter.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean and maintain the brad nailer after every use. Lubricate
moving parts to prevent rust and minimize friction-related wear. Wipe down the
entire tool and remove all dust from the moving parts. Properly store the brad
nailer in a suitable case to keep it ready for the next job.
All maintenance and repairs should be performed by an authorized repair
facility. Call 1-888-278-8092 to obtain a list of repair facilities in your area or
to make arrangements to return the tool for service.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the brad nailer. Always use couplers that release any built-up charge in the brad nailer’s firing mechanism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the brad nailer to discharge a fastener while the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure
to comply with this warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even
death to the operator or to bystanders.
When selecting an air compressor, it must comply with the requirements of the
American National Safety Institute - ANSI B19.3.
Choose an air compressor that can supply more than the required air pressure to
ensure optimum efficiency. Always use clean, dry compressed air with a maximum
pressure of 200 psi. Use a pressure regulator and set the pressure between 60 –
115 psi. (4.0 – 8.0 kg/cm2G). Before each use, check the pressure regulator to
ensure it is functioning within the proper pressure range.
Using an air pressure of more than 120 psi can
cause the brad nailer to malfunction or possibly explode causing
severe injury or property damage.
SELECTING A PROPER AIR HOSE
Use an air hose with the largest diameter and shortest length possible to ensure
continuous, efficient nailing operations. Using an air pressure of 70 psi (5.0
kg/cm2G), an air hose with an inside diameter of 1/4" (6.5 mm) or greater and a hose
length of less than 6.6 ft (20 m), it is recommended that a 0.5 second interval be
allowed between each nailing. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure of 150 psi (10.7 kg/cm2G) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced by the
compressor or whichever is higher.

Low air output by the compressor or a longer hose with
a smaller inside diameter in relation to the nailing frequency may decrease
the driving capability of the air nailer.
SELECTING A QUICK DISCONNECT
1. Remove the plastic protective plug
from the tool’s air inlet.
2. Insert a 1/4" NPT male quick
disconnect into the air inlet. Install
the female portion to the air hose.

To improve the connection between the quick disconnect and air nailer, and to help
prevent oxidation, apply PTFE tape or joint compound to the connector threads
before insertion.

OPERATION IN SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
To select the Single Sequential Actuation Mode (see
Figure 1):

3. Snap the air hose onto the quick disconnect on the air nailer. Check for air
leaks.

1. Press and hold the red Actuation Selector embedded
in the trigger.

LUBRICATION
To ensure maximum performance, it is recommended to install an air set (oiler, regulator, and air filter) as close as possible to the air nailer. Adjust the oiler so that
approximately one drop of oil will be released for every 50 nails.
If an air set is not used or is unavailable, oil the tool using pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 or 3 drops into the air inlet. This should be done before and after use. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired several times after the oil is introduced to
the filter.
OPERATING THE BRAD NAILER

2. Rotate Actuation Selector down to the Single
Sequential Actuation (T).
3. Release Actuation Selector, ensuring locking tab is
fully seated in the slot.

Figure 1

Ensure selector has locked into position. Ensure
actuation process is fully understood before attempting to use brad nailer.
TO USE THE BRAD NAILER IN SINGLE SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MODE:
1. Firmly grip brad nailer handle.
2. Position brad nailer work piece
contact on work piece surface.
3. Push brad nailer against work piece
compressing work piece contact.
4. Pull trigger on brad nailer to drive
nail. The brad nailer will recoil away
from the work piece as nail is driven.
5. Remove finger from trigger and lift
brad nailer away from surface of work
piece.

OPERATION IN CONTACT ACTUATION MODE

When using contact actuation mode, be careful of unintentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the work piece contact is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work
piece.

To select Contact Sequential Actuation Mode (see Figure 2):
Always disconnect the brad nailer before making any
adjustments to the nail depth knob.

1. Press and hold Actuation Selector embedded in the
trigger.
2. Rotate Actuation Selector up to the Contact
Sequential Actuation (TTT).
3. Release Actuation Selector, ensuring locking tab is
fully seated in the slot.

USING THE HOOK

Figure 2

Ensure selector has locked into position. Ensure
actuation process is fully understood before attempting to use brad nailer.

Always disconnect the air hose before hanging the brad nailer with the hook.
NEVER hook the brad nailer in a high location or on an unstable platform.
LOADING NAILS INTO THE AIR NAILER

TO USE THE BRAD NAILER IN CONTACT ACTUATION MODE:
1. Firmly grip brad nailer handle.
2. Pull and hold the brad nailer trigger.
3. Push brad nailer against work piece compressing work piece contact.

Always disconnect the air hose from the brad nailer before adding or removing nails to the brad nailer.

4. The brad nailer will drive nail upon contact. The brad nailer will recoil away
from the work piece as nail is driven.

NEVER use deformed nails or nail strip. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in poor nail feeding and/or jams in the feeding mechanism.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF NAILING

To load nails in brad nailer, depress magazine lever and pull magazine cover to back
of magazine. (Figure 4). Insert nails and slide magazine cover over nails until it locks
into place.

Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
Adjust the depth of nailing by turning the
adjustment knob (Figure 3, Item 1) to the left (A)
for the shallowest setting and to the right (B) for
the deepest setting. To increase the depth of the
nails, when the adjustment knob is already set to
its lowest setting, increase the air pressure. To
decrease the depth of nails when the adjustment
knob is already set to its highest setting,
decrease the air pressure. Should nails be driven
too deep even when the adjustment knob is set
at its lowest setting, decrease the air pressure. In
general, the brad nailer will have a longer service
life when the adjustment knob is set at a lower
setting causing less wear and tear on the driving
mechanism.

Figure 4

USING THE NO-MAR NOSEPIECE
Always disconnect the air hose before attaching the
Figure 3

no-mar nosepiece.

6. Select Single Sequential Actuation Operation. Check for leaks. Without pulling

8. If Steps 1 through 7 function properly, prepare the tool for use. Select operation mode and load fasteners.
9. Set the required depth of drive.

10.Repeat these steps daily. Test again if the nailer is dropped, jammed, etc.
USING THE AIR NAILER
To drive a nail, place the work piece contact of the brad nailer against the work
piece and pull the trigger. See Figure 6.
To avoid any unexpected nailings,
perform the operation as follows:
1. Avoid placing the work piece contact
against the work piece with excessive
force.
2. Pull the trigger fully and hold it in the
fired position for 1 to 2 seconds
before releasing the trigger. This will
give the brad nailer time to completely expend the previous nail and build
enough pressure for the next nail.

Figure 6

4. With work piece contact against the work piece, pull trigger. The trigger must
operate smoothly.
5. Connect air supply and set regulator for 70 psi. DO NOT load a fastener strip.

DO NOT hold the trigger in a half-pulled position. This
could cause an unexpected nailing to occur if the work piece contact is permitted to re-contact the work piece. Failure to comply could result in damage to
work piece.

CHANGING DIRECTION OF EXHAUST AIR

OVERALL MAINTENANCE OF AIR NAILER

The direction of exhaust air on the air nailer can be
directed 360˚ degrees by placing hand on exhaust
cover and turning. See Figure 7.

Always disconnect the air hose from brad nailer before
attempting any type of maintenance or visual inspection of tool.
Always visually inspect brad nailer before every use. Check on the overall condition
and for any loose screws. Tighten any screws that have come loose. See Figure 9.
Visually inspect the work piece contact and
trigger to ensure there is free movement. See
Figure 10.

Figure 7

CLEARING JAMS
Typically, jams are caused when a fastener or a fastener fragment becomes wedged
between the driver blade and nail guide. Using the wrong fastener can also cause jams.
TO CLEAR A JAM:
1. Disconnect the air supply and remove the
fastener strip. Leave the pusher assembly
open.

Figure 8

When the tool is not going to be used for an
extended period, wipe off all dust and debris
that have collected on it. Tighten all loose
screws. Lubricate the firing mechanism with
pneumatic tool oil. See page 9 for
Lubrication.
Figure 9

2. Pull out the latch tab and open the jamclearing door.

Store the brad nailer in a safe location or in
suitable carrying case. It is recommended
that the air nailer be secured in a locked
location to prevent unauthorized usage.

3. Remove all debris that has built up
during operation.
4. Remove jammed fastener. If fastener is difficult to grasp, use needle nose pliers instead
of fingers.
5. If necessary, insert a flat-blade screwdriver
so that it touches the tip of the driver blade.
See Figure 8. Tap the screwdriver with a
hammer. The screwdriver will push the driver
blade back, freeing the jam.
6. Close the jam-clearing door securely.
MAINTENANCE

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or
locations with high humidity and heat.

Figure 10

Remove the brad nailer from use and schedule to have
it repaired at an authorized repair facility if the work piece contact is binding or not moving freely. Do not attempt to repair the brad nailer. Failure to
comply can result in malfunction of the tool and severe injury to the operator or any bystanders.

STORAGE OF NAILS
Always handle nail strips and their box very carefully. If the nail strips have been mishandled, they may be out of shape or have breaks in the connecting strips. This will
cause the nails to feed poorly and possibly result in misfiring or jams in the air nailer.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot environment or place in direct sunlight.

of any nonconforming item and/or part thereof shall constitute fulfillment of all obligations to the purchaser. Alltrade shall not be responsible or liable for any expense,
including freight charges, or repairs made outside Alltrade's facility or an Alltrade
