Adjustments and Usage Prep
Air Supply and Connections
WARNING: Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this
tool as tool may explode, possibly causinginjury.
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power
source for this tool.
NOTICE: Do not exceed recommended maximum
operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly
increased. The air supply must be capable of
maintaining the operating pressure at the tool.
Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power.
Tool Air Fitting
WARNING: Always use couplings that relieve all
pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from
the power supply. Always use hose connectors that
shut off air supply from compressor when the tool
isdisconnected.
The tool is equipped with a 1/4" male quick
connectorfitting.
To Install an Air Fitting
1. Wrap the male end of the fitting with thread seal tape
prior to assembly to eliminate airleaks.
2. Screw fitting directly into the air inlet and tighten firmly.
NOTE: If an adapter is in the air inlet, remove it prior to
inserting thefitting.
NOTE: A 3/8" (9.5 mm) supply line (and fittings) should
be used for high volume nailing. This fitting requires
a 3/8" (9.5mm) adapter. Both fitting and adapter are
available from CRAFTSMAN. Refer to Accessories.
Operating Pressure
WARNING: Do not exceed recommended
maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be
greatly increased. The air supply must be capable
of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool.
Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to Tool Specifications for
setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
Hoses
WARNING: Air hoses should have a minimum
working pressure rating of 150 percent of the
maximum pressure that could be produced in the
air system. Refer to Tool Specifications for the
correct operating pressure for the tool. The supply
hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick
disconnecting” from the male fitting on the tool.
Oil Free Motor
The fastener is designed to be used without the need to add
any air tool oil and still deliver long life. If air tool oil is added
to tool it will still function properly.
