ion grip minimizes operator fatigue. Large capacity, top load-
ing magazine makes loading easy. Safety feature disables tool
unless contact trip is pressed against workpiece. Tapered
nosepiece provides operator with greater visibility for precise
fastener placement. Quick release nose cover allows easy
access to jammed fasteners. Adjustment knob controls depth
of fastener. Air deflector can be adjusted to any direction. The

AIR SUPPLY LINE
Refer to Figure 1 (page 3).
° The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from
60 to 100 PSI.
° Never exceed maximum pressure.
Air Delivery Required: 1.41 SCFM @ 90 PSI
(30 shots per minute).
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area
of tool when connecting air supply. Always disconnect tool
from air supply when servicing or adjusting tool and when tool
is not in use.
° Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated com-
pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.
° Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-
age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.
° Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not
removed from compressed air.
° A filter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be
located as close to tool as possible (see Figure 1, page 3).
A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended.
° Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure
to the tool causing a reduction in power and efficiency.
