SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WORK AREA  
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered  
benches and dark areas invite accidents.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,  
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,  
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
TOOL USE AND CARE  
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your  
application. The correct tool will do the job better and  
safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.  
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is  
dangerous and must be repaired.  
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to  
lose control.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism  
frequently. Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact  
mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving  
of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper  
operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.  
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other  
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of  
untrained users.  
Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifications  
and provides protection against flying particles both  
from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn  
by the operator and others in the work area when  
loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection  
is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris,  
which could cause severe eye injury.  
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper  
eye protection is worn. We recommend Wide Vision  
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety  
glasses that provide protection against flying particles  
both from the front and side. Always use eye protection  
which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.ꢀ.  
Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance instruc-  
tions. Properly maintained tools are easier to control.  
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may  
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool  
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by  
poorly maintained tools.  
Additional safety protection will be required in some  
environments. For example, the working area may in-  
clude exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing  
damage. The employer and user must ensure that any  
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the  
operator and others in the work area. Some environments  
will require the use of head protection equipment. When  
required, the employer and user must ensure that head  
protection conforming to ANSI Z89.ꢀ-ꢀ997 is used.  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common  
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool  
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,  
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating  
power tools may result in serious personal injury.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.  
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves  
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts.  
Use only fasteners that are recommended for your  
model.  
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from  
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-  
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based  
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol-  
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and  
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.  
SERVICE  
Tool service must be performed only by qualified  
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by  
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.  
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement  
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of  
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
Know your pneumatic tool. Read operator’s manual carefully.  
Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific  
potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will  
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.  
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may  
follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude un-  
expectedly from the side of the work material.  
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work  
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to  
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the  
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer  
against the material. The workpiece contact may cause  
the work material to shift unexpectedly.  
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool  
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil  
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing  
into hard or dense material.  
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after  
driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool.  
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer  
against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a  
second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the handle  
firmly, let the tool do the work and do not place second  
hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to  
heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.  
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with  
the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause  
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.  
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the  
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the  
fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.  
Always wear safety glasses with side shields.  
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They  
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce  
the risk of eye injury.  
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the op-  
eration is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of  
serious personal injury.  
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during  
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will  
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.  
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or  
footing and may become damaged.  
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge  
fasteners into open air.  
U se the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which  
it was designed.  
Do not use hardened nails in this tool.  
Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool. Use  
of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener feed-  
ing, jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool at erratic  
angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly and properly,  
discontinue their use immediately. Jammed and improperly  
feeding fasteners could result in serious personal injury.  
 ever use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener  
to be directed toward anything other than the workpiece.  
Do not use the tool as a hammer.  
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS  
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled  
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will ex-  
plode, possibly causing injury or death.  
Do not use with an air compressor which can po-  
tentially exceed 200 psi as tool may burst, possibly  
causing injury.  
D o not alter or modify this tool from the original design  
or function without approval from the manufacturer.  
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling  
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.  
 ever leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.  
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible  
warning label.  
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure  
when air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting  
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after discon-  
necting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after  
the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.  
Always disconnect air supply:  
Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does  
not function properly.

• Respect the tool as a working implement.  
• Never engage in horseplay.  
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in  
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly  
causing injury.  
• When tool is not in use  
• When moving to a different work area, as accidental  
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.  
LOADING TOOL  
Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of  
the operating controls is activated.  
When loading tool:  
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener  
discharge area of tool.  
Never point tool at anyone.  
Do not depress the workpiece contact as accidental  
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.  
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone  
whether it contains fasteners or not.  
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a  
fastener into the workpiece.  
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully posi-  
tioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece  
contact only partially above the workpiece could cause  
the fastener to miss the workpiece completely and result  
in serious personal injury.  
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The  
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE  
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size  
of the nail 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 nail with the air pressure set at 50-55 psi. Raise  
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will  
perform the job with consistent results.

MAINTENANCE  
LUBRICATION  
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best  
performance. Oil added through the air line connection  
will lubricate the internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or  
additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear  
to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool  
performance and frequent tool maintenance.  
WARNING:  
When servicing use only identical RIDGID  
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may  
create a hazard or cause product damage.  
COLD WEATHER OPERATION  
WARNING:  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with  
side shields during power tool operation or when  
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a  
dust mask.  
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the  
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.  
We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent  
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.  
CAUTION:  
WARNING:  
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment  
to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools’  
operating valves and mechanisms that could cause  
tool failure.  
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before  
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could  
result in serious personal injury.  
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful  
to “O” rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature  
air dryers without checking compatibility.  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most  
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of  
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use  
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.  
AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME  
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume  
supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of under-  
size fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water  
in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from  
receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pres-  
sure reading is high. The results will be slow operation or  
reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for  
these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the  
supply source for restrictive connectors, low points contain-  
ing water and anything else that would prevent full volume  
flow of air to the tool.  
WARNING:  
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,  
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,  
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can  
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may  
result in serious personal injury.
