What happens here
Before use, ensure the palm nailer is properly connected to an air compressor via an air hose. The quick-connect fittings should be securely attached to prevent air leaks. Load the appropriate structural connector nails into the palm nailer; these are typically short, heavy-gauge nails specifically designed for metal connector plates. The tool shown in the video operates by placing a single nail into its magnetic tip.
Goal: Ready the pneumatic palm nailer for operation.
