fasteners or load the fasteners incorrectly.
® Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
@® Maintain tools with care. Keep tool clean. A
properly maintained tool, reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
8 Store tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained people. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
® Check operation of the tool before use. Do
not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as
accidental driving of a fastener may occur.
8 Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate
properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be
repaired.
8 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
8 Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding a tool by hand or
against the body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
@ Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
® Do not use the tool as a hammer.

NO-MARRING PAD
The no-marring pad attached the nose of the tool
helps prevent marring and denting when working
with softer woods.
Á WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air resource
before removing or replacing the no-
marring pad or replacing the no-marring
pad. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required depends on
the size of the fasteners and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail
into the same type of workpiece material used for
the actual job.
Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 90-
95psi. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the
lowest setting that will perform the job with
consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with
air pressure adjustments alone.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The driving depth of the fasteners are adjustable.
To adjust the depth, use the drive depth adjustment
wheel(E) on the tool.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air resource.
2. Tum the depth wheel left or right to change the
driving depth.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air resource.
4. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the
desired depth is set.
=};
= Adjustment wheel(E)
CAUTION:
It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap
workpiece to determine the required
depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust
the air pressure and drive a test fastener.
Never exceed 120psi.

ANTI-DUST
Each FREEMAN tool is packed with an anti—dust
cap on the air connector.
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air connector
when the toolis notin use.
LUBRICATION
The tool is uniquely designed not to need daily
lubrication. But lubrication is required for best
performance after long periods use. Oil for
pneumatic fastening tools is added through the air
line connection and will lubricate intemal parts. Do
not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants
will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CLEARING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust , oil, grease, etc.
A WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect. come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent
tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool
lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as
a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
