Use of the Brad Nailer
Attach the Brad Nailer to the air supply at the Air Inlet (72). Start the compressor and set the pressure at no more than 120 PSI. To fire, place the Driver Guide (51) on the workpiece. Once the Driver Guide engages the workpiece and is depressed, pull the Trigger (43) one time. One Brad will be fired into the workpiece.
Allow the Brad Nailer to recoil from the workpiece. Pushing the Brad Nailer down hard onto the workpiece is not required, the tool will do the work. When the job is complete, disconnect the Brad Nailer from the air supply and completely empty the Magazine Assembly. Attempt to fire a Brad into a piece of scrap material to ensure that the unit is disconnected and incapable of firing any Brads. When storing, lock the Brad Nailer in a clean, dry location, safely out of the reach of children.
Clearing Jams
Caution. Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles when using or performing maintenance on the Brad Nailer. Do not allow children or bystanders in the area where the Brad Nailer is being used or worked on. 1. 2.
When a Brad gets jammed in the Brad Nailer, first disconnect the air supply, and then disengage and empty the Magazine Assembly. Attempt to fire the Brad Nailer into a piece of scrap material, to ensure it is properly disconnected and incapable of firing before beginning any work on the Brad Nailer.
