A moment of inattention while operating the Nailer increases the risk of injury to persons.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

(3) Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the Nailer with your finger on the switch or connect the Nailer to the air supply with the switch on.

(4) WARNING – Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making adjustments, doing Nailer maintenance, clearing jams, touching the Push Lever, when not in use, leaving work area, leaving the Nailer outside of the operator's supervision or control, loading, or unloading the Nailer, handing it to another person, elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the Nailer to a new location. Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Nailer unless you have disconnected air hose from the Nailer and removed all remaining fasteners from the Nailer. The Nailer should never be left unattended since people who are not familiar with the Nailer might handle it and injure the themselves.

Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the Nailer in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid ng is safetyshoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
(7) ⚠️WARNING – Risk of hearing loss. Wear hearing protection.

Hearing protection shall have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) determined in accord Environmental Protection Agency rules that is appropriate for noise exposure.

(8) Always wear head protection.

Always wear head protection to protect your head from fl ying objects.

(9) Do not attach the hose or Nailer to your body.

Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.

(10) WARNING – Drive Nails into proper work surface only. Do not drive nail into other nails. This is able to cause the fastener to be deflected and hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react and result in a risk of injury to persons.

3. Nailer use and care

(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
(2) Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for the application. The correct Nailer will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is designed.
(3) Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not turn the Nailer on or off. Any Nailer that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Never use Nailer which is defective or operating abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service center.

SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

(4) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Nailer. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer unintentionally.
(5) Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer performance.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the Nailer's operation.

If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is (damaged.

(8) Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper working order. Tags and physical segregation shall be used for control.
(9) Use only accessories that are identified by metabo HPT for the specific Nailer. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific Nailer, increases the risk of injury to persons.
(10) Use only those fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not identified for use with this Nailer by metabo HPT are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or damage when used in this Nailer.

4. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
(2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
(3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer or specified by metabo HPT.

5. Air source

(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm ^2 ) if a regulator fails.

Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer or serious injury to persons.

120psi 120psi

DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm ^4 ).

sug only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the Nailer.

Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

(2) Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

6. Others

(1) Be careful of double fi re and being hit by the Nailer due to spring back ("recoil").

After driving a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to move away from the work surface.

To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:

1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.
2) allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work surface.
3) not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be forced back into the work surface. In "CONTAC ACTUATION MECHANISM", if push lever is allowed to re-contact work surface before the trigger is released, an unintended discharge of a nail will occur. In order to avoid this undesirable double fire,

○ Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)

① Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.

② Release the trigger QUICKLY.

SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

○ Continuous operation (Push lever fire)

① Do not press the Nailer against the wood with excessive force.
② Separate the Nailer from the wood as it recoils after nailing.

4) keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.

(2) Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
(3) Check Push Lever before use. Make sure Push Lever operates properly, and is not inoperable, disconnected, or altered. (The Push Lever may be called "Safety".) Never use the Nailer unless the Push Lever is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the Push Lever, or otherwise cause the Push Lever to become inoperable.
(4) Keep all screws and covers tightly in place. Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted.

Check their condition periodically. Never use the Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.

(5) Do not load fasteners with Trigger or Push Lever depressed. When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when connecting the air hose,

1) do not depress the Trigger;
2) do not depress the Push Lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.

(6) Keep hands and body away from fi ring head during use. Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head. A serious injury can result if the fasteners are deflected by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of entry.

(7) When working close to an edge of a workpiece or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping, splitting or splintering, or free fl ight, ricochet or piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury.

(8) Never drive fasteners from both sides of a wall at the same time. The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.

(9) Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into existing walls or other blind areas to prevent contact with hidden objects or persons on other side (eg., wires, pipes).
(10) Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires.
(11) Do not lift, pull or lower the Nailer by the hose.
(12) Do not disconnect air hose from Nailer with finger on Trigger. The Nailer can fire when re-connected to An air supply.
t(13) Handle Nailer correctly. Operate the Nailer according to this Manual. Never allow the Nailer to be operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personnel.
(14) Never use Nailer for applications other than those specified in this manual.
(15) Never modify or alter a Nailer. Doing so may cause it to malfunction and personal injuries may result.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

WARNING

• No flammable gas, liquid or other flammable objects at worksite.
  ● Clear the area of children or unauthorized personnel.

AIR SUPPLY

DANGER

● NEVER use reactive gases or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur.

WARNING

● Never connect Nailer to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm²) if a regulator fails.
● Never use non relieving coupler on Nailer.

1. Power source
   ○ Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Nailer.

Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Nailer must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 "Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries."
○ Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Nailer. Drain daily.

1. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator

Regulator Nailer Side Compressor Side Filter Lubricator

1. Air hose

Compressed air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi (10.4 bar 10.6 kgf/cm²), whichever is greater.

1. Air consumption

Using the Air consumption table and the Air compressor size formula, fi nd a correct compressor size.

Air consumption table

Operating pressure	psi(bar)(kgf/cm2)	80(5.5)(5.6)	90(6.2)(6.3)	100(6.9)(7)
Air consumption	ft^3 /cycle(ltr/cycle)	.033(.93)	.039(1.1)	.046(1.3)

Air compressor size formula

Amount of air required

=number of Nailers

× average nails driven each minute per Nailer
× air consumption at given air pressure
× safety factor (always 1.2)

Example: 2 Nailers operating at 100 psi driving 30 nails per minute

Amount of air required

=2×30×.046(1.3)×1.2
=3.3 CFM (ft ^3 /min) (94 ltr/min)

After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor providing 3.3 CFM of air that is required.

LUBRICATION

It is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.

Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.

○ Use metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant.

Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the Nailer to malfunction.

○ Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.

Keep the lubricator filled with metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant.

☐ If a lubricator is not available, supply 5 – 10 drops of metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer twice a day.

COLD WEATHER CARE

○ Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning the work.

○ If the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Nailer to warm up before use.

① Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bar 4.5 kgf/cm ^2 ).
② Remove all nails from the Nailer.
③ Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Nailer.

The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Nailer.

Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.

CAUTION

- Do not free-fire the Nailer at high pressure.

TESTING THE NAILER

⚠️ DANGER

- Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection.

This metabo HPT nailer has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce Fire). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as order part number 878226.

THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with t "METHODS OF OPERATION".

NOTE:

Be careful that the final nail can be dropped or driven at an irregular angle.

METHODS OF OPERATION

This Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does not operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward position).

There are two methods of operation to drive nails with this Nailer.

They are:

1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fire):

k(p) i entemittestation (Trigger fire)

① Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger off the trigger.
② Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely depressed.
③ Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
④ Remove finger from the trigger.

To drive another nail, move the Nailer along the workpiece, repeating steps ① - ④ as required procedure.

Push Lever ② ③ Trigger

(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)

① Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
② Depress the push lever against the workpiece to drive a nail.
③ Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a bouncing motion.

Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail. As soon as the desired number of nails have been driven, remove finger from the trigger.

fously pull rigger ① ③

WARNING

• Keep your finger off the trigger except during fastening operation, because serious injury could result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or others in work area.
• Keep hands and body away from the discharge area. This metabo HPT nailer may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
• Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exercise caution!

THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with the following "Method of Operation".

You must first depress the push lever (upward position) where you want to drive a nail and then pull the trigger. After the each nail is driven, completely release the trigger and lift the tool off the work surface.

An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or others in the work area. This is because it is less likely to drive an unwanted nail if you keep the pulled and accidentally bump the push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of operation compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.

NOTE:

● Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if used as described above and according to all warnings and instructions.
● Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are dropped, collating wire may be damaged and cut, which will cause mis-feeding and jamming.
● After nailing:

1) disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
2) remove all nails from the Nailer;
3) supply 5 - 10 drops of metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer; and
4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moisture.

USING THE SHINGLE GUIDE

The shingle guide can be used to control shingle spacing. Adjust the shingle guide in the following order.

① DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER
② Loosen the hex. socket hd. bolt with the accessory Allen wrench.

③ Place the shingle guide against the bottom of the first row of shingles.
④ Adjust the distance between the outlet and the shingle guide to the proper shingle exposure by sliding the shingle guide.
⑤ Tighten the hex. socket hd. bolt.

Second Row First Row Outlet Proper Shingle Exposure ③ ④ Shingle Guide Hex. Socket Hd. Bolt ① Disconnect air hose

NOTE:

● The proper shingle exposure will depend on the type of shingle and the manufacturer's specifications.
● The shingle guide is not to be utilized as an indicator of nail location.

ADJUSTING THE NAILING DEPTH

WARNING

- Disconnect the air hose from the nailer before turning the adjuster.

To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be sure that:

1) the air pressure to the Nailer remains constant (regulator is installed and working properly), and
2) the Nailer is always held firmly against the workpiece. If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece, adjust the nailing in the following order.

① DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER

Adjuster ①⑤ Disconnect air hose

② If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster counterclockwise while pulling it downward.

When the adjuster is released, it returns upward. Furthermore, turn the adjuster until it reaches a position where it gets fixed with a clock.

Too Deep Tum Adjuster ② Flush

If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster clockwise while pulling it downward.

When the adjuster is released, it return upward. Furthermore, turn the adjuster until it reaches a position where it gets fixed with a clock.

Turn Adjuster FlushToo Shallow ②

The adjuster can be fi exed each at 1/4 rotation.

The adjuster moves approximately 0.25 mm per 1/4 rotation.

③ Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is reached for a nailing test.
④ Connect the air hose. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTOR. Perform a nailing test.
⑤ DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
⑥ Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: The information contained in this Manual is designed to assist you in the safe maintenance of the Nailer.

Some illustrations in this Manual may show details or attachments that differ from those on your own Nailer.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Read section titled "SAFETY" (pages 4 – 8).

WARNING

- Disconnect air hose and remove all nails from Nailer when:

1) doing maintenance and inspection; and 2) clearing a jam.

● Never use gasoline or other highly fl ammable liquides for cleaning.

1. Clearing a jam

Main Nail Stopper Nail Guide Sub Nail Stopper Feeder Nose Opening Feeder Shaft

④ Lubricate the feeding surfaces of the nose and the nail guide after cleaning.

This promotes smooth operation and prevents rust.

1. Cleaning and removal of tar and dirt.

Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and push lever.

This can prevent correct operation.

Clean and remove tar and dirt with kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.

NEVER USE GASOLINE or other highly flammable liquids.

Vapor of such liquids inside the Nailer could be ignited by a spark produced during nailing, which can cause an explosion.

① Immerse only the area around the outlet in solvent.

Do not immerse the magazine or body.

Plastic parts and O-ring may be damaged.

Body Nose Push Lever Magazine Outlet

② Dry off the Nailer before use. Any oil film left after cleanup will accelerate the tar buildup, and the Nailer will requite more frequent re-cleaning.

③ Make sure the push lever operates properly.

WARNING

● Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating properly.

NOTE:

Solvents sprayed on nose to clean and free up the push lever may have the opposite effect. The solvent may soften the tar on the shingles and cause tar buildup to be accelerated. Dry operation is better.
