8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over
or across running machines or air hoses.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The
handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
12. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
13. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
14. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
15. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor
Freight Tools.
16. Do not operate tool is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the

17. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required for the air
compressor, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the
tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or
cause electrical damage to the tool. Check your compressor’s manual for the
appropriate size cord.
18. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician.
19. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gases as a power source.
Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending
on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool perfor-
mance.
Warning:The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-
stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be
built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Operation
1/4” - 18 NPT
Mini Nailer
For best service you should incorporate an oiler, regulator, and inline filter, as shown in the
diagram above. Hoses, couplers, oilers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor
Freight Tools.
1. You will need to prepare a 1/4”air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air Inlet (20)
on the Nailer. First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before
threading it into the Air Inlet (20). Connect the 3/8” ID Air Source Hose to the air connector.
Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of
Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of con-
tinual use.
2. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 60-90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended
air pressure of 90 PSI.
3. Check the air connection for leaks.

Caution: Do not point the Nailer toward any person, pet, or toward yourself.

to fire a nail. With the Guide Box pressed against a solid surface, press down on the
top of the Nailer several times to expel any residual air charge.
