Prepare Before Use
Load your fasteners into the tray before connecting to air pressure

Be aware, these tools are pressurized, and puffs of air accompanied by sudden noises can be alarming. Experiment with the tool on scrap wood to familiarize yourself with these sensations.

Tool Tips
The tool will not fire unless it is in contact with your work surface. This is to avoid launching fasteners under high pressure into the air. Press the tip of the tool firmly to the material to disengage the safety feature.

Align your fastener correctly using the markings on the tool tip, as the firing point will be covered by the tool during use.
