 User-Maintenance Instructions

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
Safety

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,

BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):
• Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
• Release the trigger.
• Detach the air supply.
• Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
• Empty the Magazine and leave it open during service.
The Magazine is spring‑loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:

Do not use damaged equipment.
If abnormal noise, vibration, or leaking air is detected, have the problem corrected before further use.
Setup

TO PREVENT EXPLOSION: Lubricate only with specified lubricants. Lubricate the air inlet using
only Pneumatic Tool Oil. Lubricate the internal mechanism using only white lithium grease.
Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an
explosion.

and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries
to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of
our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER

If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may
elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will
return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
