Disconnect the air hose from the tool. Select nails
suitable for your work. Depress the latch lever and open
the door and magazine cap.
Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the arrow with nail
size indicated on the coil support plate will point to the
corresponding graduation increment marked on the magazine.
If the tool is operated with the coil support plate set to the
wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction of the tool may result.
Fig.8
Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoil
enough nails to reach the feed claw. Place the first nail
in the driver channel and the second nail in the feed
claw. Place other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close
the magazine cap slowry until it lock after checking to
see that the nail coil is set properly in the magazine.

Connecting air hose
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting. A hose
coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a
way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the
time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Make sure all safety systems are in working order
•
before operation.
1. To drive a nail, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger, or
Fig.10
Fig.11
2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact
element against the workpiece.
No. (1) method is for intermittent nailing, when you
•
wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately.
No. (2) method is for continuous nailing.
CAUTION:
However when the tool is set to the "Intermittent
•
Nailing" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A
HALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailing
could occur, if contact element is allowed to re-
contact against the workpiece or the other surface
under the influence of recoil.
In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform
as follows;
− A. Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
− B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2
seconds after nailing.
For No. (1) method, set the change lever to
•
the position.
For No. (2) method, set the change lever to
the position.
After using the change lever to change the nailing
method, always make sure that the change lever
is properly set to the position for the desired
nailing method.

Nailing of steel plate
WARNING:
Use 2.3 mm or les steel for C-shaped one.
•
The tool will bounce severely and a nail struck
back, causing serious injuries.
Use hardened nails only for steel plate.
•
Using other purposed nails may cause serious injuries.
When nailing, hold the tool so that it stands upright
•
to the driving surface.
Slanted nailing may cause nails to strike back,
causing serious injuries.
When fastening a corrugated zinc plate on the C-
•
shaped steel, use 0.7 mm or less thick plate and
32 mm long hardened nails. Failure to do so may
cause nails to strike back, causing serious injuries.
Do not use the tool for nailing on ceiling or roof.
•
Choose and use nails more than 10 mm longer than
total thickness of all workpiece to be fastened by
referring to the table below.

CAUTION:
Depending on the hardness and total thickness of all
•
workpiece in combination to be fastened, enough
fastening may not be obtained. Nailing on steel plate to
excessive depth may extremely reduce the fastening
force. Before nailing, adjust the nailing depth properly.
In the nailing on the steel plate, the driver may be
•
clogged due to susceptibility to wear. When it is
worn, sharpen it or replace it with a new one.
Nailing of concrete
WARNING:
Use hardened nails only for concrete.
•
Using other purposed nails may cause serious
injuries.Do not nail directly on the concrete or do not
use to fasten directly the steel plate to the concrete.
Failure to do so may cause concrete fragments to fly
off or nails to strike back, causing serious injuries.
