The graph shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and compressor air output. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity. Using the trigger lock The tool has trigger lock to avoid accidents by an unintentional start. The trigger lock makes the trigger unmovable and let the tool cause no firing. To lock the trigger, set the lock lever in the “LOCK ” position.
