manual abstract
Before using your nailer, regulate the air pressure to find the optimum setting within the specified operating range. Start by testing the nailer at a low setting, then increase the air pressure as needed for satisfactory results. An in-line filter/lubricator/regulator unit, can be installed as depicted in Figure 1. This filter/lubricator/regulator unit will protect your tool from damaging water build-up, allow you to adjust and maintain regulated air pressure to your tool, and save you the inconvenience of having to manually lubricate your tool every time you use it. If you plan on installing a filter/ lubricator/regulator unit in your compressed air system, always follow the connection instructions that come with the unit. Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may damage the nailer and cause it to malfunction. To protect yourself from personal injury, DO NOT allow the air pressure to exceed the recommended pressure for this nailer! ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Safety Glasses ........................... 1 E. Carrying Case............................ 1 -6 Model W1774 18 Gauge Brad Nailer Safety Nose Mechanism A safety mechanism on the nose of the nailer protects against accidental firing. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety nose mechanism is depressed. Before you use your nailer for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function. To check the safety nose mechanism, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY! 2. Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails. 3. Make sure the trigger and the safety nose mechanism move up and down without sticking. 4. Connect the nailer to the air supply. 5. Without pressing the trigger, depress the safety nose mechanism against a scrap piece of wood that is clean and free of any knots, nails, or other foreign objects. — If the nailer does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly. — If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Technical Support. — If the nailer fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly. — If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not working properly, check the lubrication of its sliding components. The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur. Operating this nailer can propel objects into the air, causing immediate eye damage. To protect yourself, always wear ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles when operating this equipment. DO NOT attempt to modify or bypass the safety nose mechanism to make the nailer/stapler fire without pushing the safety nose down. -7 Model W1774 18 Gauge Brad Nailer OPERATIONS Loading When replacing nails in your Model W1774, follow these guidelines: Gauge:........................................18 Length: .................................. 5.8"–2" Capacity: ................................... 100 To load your nailer, do these steps: 1.
