The air tool is equipped with contact trip safety mechanism
that disables tool unless contact trip (Fig. 7) is pushed
against work. Hold body firmly and press contact trip on
workpiece where fastener is to be applied. Pull trigger to
drive fastener into workpiece.
The tool can also be operated by holding the trigger
depressed and pushing contact trip against workpiece.
This operating procedure provides rapid-fire fastener
driving. Never operate the tool unless contact trip is in
contact with workpiece.
OPERATING PRESSURE
•
Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air
pressure in excess of that which is required will make the
operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or
damage to the tool.
•
Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some
test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that
test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface.
Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.
WARNING:
All air power fastening tools recoil when operat-
ed. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool
may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener
to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in
hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. Let the tool
do the work.This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away
from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.
CONTACT TRIP ADJUSTMENT
The contact trip may be adjusted up or down to vary the
driven depth of the fastener. To adjust, rotate depth control
knob (see Figure 7) to raise or lower contract trip to desired
setting.

EXHAUST DEFLECTOR
•
Exhaust deflector can be positioned to point in any direc-
tion (full 360° movement). Reposition deflector by grasping
firmly and rotating to the desired position (see Figure 8).

SHINGLE GAUGE
Refer to Figure 9.
The tool is equipped with a shingle gauge to control shingle
spacing. Pull adjusting lever and slide gauge to desired shin-
gle exposure. Tighten adjusting lever to secure shingle gauge
in position.The amount of exposed shingle surface will
depend on the type of shingle and manufacturer's specifica-
tion.

COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not store in cold environment. Frost or ice
could form inside tool affecting operation and damaging tool.
Use a cold temperature lubricant, such as ethylene glycol,
when operating tool in freezing temperatures.
