The tool is equipped with a factory pre-installed 3/4" Foot Plate(G). And an additional uninstalled 5/8" foot plate. To change the plate: Disconnect the tool from the air source. Empty the magazine completely. Fire the tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure there is no compressed air or fasteners left in the tool. Set the tool on its side to expose the four Screws(H). Remove the four Screws(H), then, remove the foot plate. Align the four screw holes in the replacement foot plate with the four threaded mounting holes. Using the four screws you removed just now, secure the replacement foot plate to the tool. Ensure the correct Foot Plate is installed by firing into a scrap piece of flooring and checking for proper fastener placement. Disconnect the tool from the air source whenever changing the foot plate. Make sure there is no fastener in the magazine before changing the foot plate.

Screws(E) Foot plate(D) 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.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE

If any parts are missing, do not operate this tool until the missing parts are replaced. Before using this tool, make sure the arm part and the main body part are screwed together tightly. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
