ADJUSTING THE NAILING

same depth, be sure that:
1) the air pressure to the Nailer remains
constant (requlator is installed and
working properly), and
2) the Nailer is always held firmly against
the workpiece.
If nails are driven too deep or shallow into
the workpiece, adjust the nailing in the
following order.
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
2 If nails are driven too deep, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise while pulling
it downward.
When the adjuster is released, it returns
upward. Furthermore, turn the adjuster
until it reaches a position where it gets
fixed with a clock.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the
adjuster clockwise while pulling it
downward.
When the adjuster is released, it return
upward. Furthermore, turn the adjuster

fixed with a clock.
