WORK AREAKeep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETYGrounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull the Plug from an outlet. keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETYStay alert. watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.Dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

INSTALLATION EXTENSION CORDSGrounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condi-tion. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT:Never exceed the maximum or minimum pressure. Pressure that is too low or too high may cause excess noise, wear, and/or misfiring. When connecting the air supply, keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the nailer. A filter regulator/oiler is required and should be located on the air line as close to the tool as possible. Keep the air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure supplied to the tool causing a reduction in power and efficiency. For better performance, install quick-connectors on your tool and a quick coupler on the air hose. For the best performance, make sure all connections in the air supply are tightly sealed to prevent air loss.
25
OPERATION
Place the tire gauge opening on the valve stem of the tire and firmly hold in place for at least 2 seconds. If required check twice for accuracy.The side wall of your tire will specify the maximum PSI or KPA rating however the pressure level for everyday driving will be specified in your vehicles manual and should be followed. It is suggested to review your vehicles owners manual for optimum tire pressure by season or contact your tire manufacturer for more details. NOTE: Check tire condition and pressure at least once a month and before any long trip. Never exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure shown on the tire side wall. The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. On hot days the pressures will be 4 to 8 psi (28 - 50 KPA) higher after high speed driving.NOTE: The Tire Gauge is NOT INCLUDED in the accessories.
USING THE TIRE CHUCK1. Connect tire chuck to hose using PTFE tape on threads. You may also attach the tire chuck to a male quick connect for quick and easy removal in the future.2. Connect hose to compressor and turn switch to ON position. Allow pressure to build up to maximum pressure level in tank.3. Adjust regulator pressure to MAXIMUM position. In maximum output pressure position 135psi the tire will fill up quicker and accurately however it is extremely important to monitor the air flow using the tire gauge as it is in process of being filled to ensure of not overfilling tire. NOTE: If maximum pressure is not used for output of the compressor to tire than the tire may not fill as there may be a pressure lock between the tire and the hose which is normal. Due to this always use maximum pressure from compressor and continue to monitor pressure with gauge.4. Place tire chuck on tire valve stem and press firmly into place to prevent air from leaking out of tire. 5. Remove tire chuck from valve stem and check pressure using a tire gauge. This process needs to be followed throughout the process of filling each tire to ensure of accuracy and to prevent overfilling..
