Wear eye protection!!!

Make sure the gun is not in bump fire mode, meaning you have to pull the
trigger to fire the nail.

Practice with scraps of wood.

Do not adjust the nail depth with the gun attached to the air hose.

Have a nail set handy

Unplug your compressor and release the air from tank after using it.

A few drops of oil in the gun air hole before use.

A while ago I picked up a cheap, no-name pneumatic brad nailer. The
instructions that came with it are pretty much useless. It's worked well
the few times I've used it.

I'm going to be installing some molding with this gun and don't want to
split or drive through the material, so I'm trying to locate some
instructions on how best to use this gun.

It will drive 18 gauge nails or staples, 3/4" to 2" (?) in length. On the
back of the head there appears to be an adjustment knob that turns easily
about 90 degrees, but doesn't appear to do anything.

So, I'd like to know...

- What is the optimum air pressure to supply the nailer with?
- Should that top actually adjust anything?
- Any links on how to use a brad nailer properly?
