WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1
(CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing
protection when operatingtool.
The
DeWALT
cordless nailers are assembled in accordance
with the ANSI Standard SNT-101-2002.
The framing nailer is capable of firing nails using bump
actuation or sequential actuation. If you would like to
have the bump actuation mode disabled, have the tool
serviced by an authorized
DeWALT
service center. Before
operating this tool, look at the selector switch to determine
the actuation mode. Read all instructions before selecting
actuationmode.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when
not driving nails to avoid accidental firing. NEVER
carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool
will fire a nail if contact trip is bumped while trigger
isdepressed.
Sequential Action
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where
very careful and accurate placement and depth control
is desired. The sequential actuation mode provides the
maximum delivery of power for driving the longestnails.
To Operate the Nailer in Sequential Action Mode
1. Slide the selector switch
9
to the left, as shown in
FigureF.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor
willstart).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into worksurface).
4. Releasetrigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off worksurface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for nextapplication.
NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed
followed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by
a release of both the contact trip and trigger after
eachnail.

Bump Action
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that
require driving shorternails.
When using bump action, two methods are available: place
actuation and bumpactuation.
Slide the selector switch

to the right, as shown in
FigureG.

To Operate the Tool Using the Place Actuation Method
WARNING: A nail will fire each time the
trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip
remainsdepressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the worksurface.
2. Depress thetrigger.
To Operate the Tool Using the Bump Actuation Method
1. Depress thetrigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user
to drive multiple nails insequence.
WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool
is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the locked
position when the tool is not inuse.
WARNING: When the tool’s motor is running, the
next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing the
contact trip, will cause a nail tofire.
