PNEUMATIC NAILER MODELS P240 & P260

MAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY

A new valve assembly was gradually introduced in October 2006. Its main feature is that it no longer requires a screw to hold all components together - they simply snap into each other. You can verify the date of manufacture of your tool to determine the type of valve assembly it's fitted with:
All P240 & P260 tool manufactured before October 2006 Some P240 nailers manufactured after October 2006 and before May 2007	All P240 & P260 tools manufactured since May 2007 Some P240 nailers manufactured since October 2006 Tools retro-fitted with the new valve
You can also do a visual check:
If you remove head cap P-501, you shall not be able to pull out the actuator head P-541, unless screw P-544B is broken. If you open the head assembly, the screw P-544B will be visible.	The disk P-601A is snapped into head cap P-601. If you remove head cap P-601. If you open the head assembly, you should be able to pull out the valve assembly (P-642+P-543+P -644). There is no screw going through actuator cap P-644.
