lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in
a safe place, out of the reach ofchildren.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in
immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent
accidentaldischarge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance
at all times. Loss of balance may cause personalinjury.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone,
extremely hard woods, knots or any material
too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not
use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer.
Discharged fastener may follow unexpected path
and causeinjury.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of thepusher.
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
thetool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area.
Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be
careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such asrooftops.
• Do not drive fastener near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow
the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the
chisel point of the fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk ofinjury.
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails
mayresult.
• 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 contact trip may cause the work
material to shiftunexpectedly.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause aspark.
• 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.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener
is driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to
recontact work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will befired.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
manual for triggeringoptions.
• Always select an actuation system that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the
training of theoperator.
• Use caution when handling, loading or unloading
fasteners. Fasteners have sharp points which could
causeinjury.
• Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and
safe control of the trigger and any adjustingdevices.
Bump/Sequential Selector Switch
Sequential Action
• When using the tool in sequential action, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against theworkpiece.
Bump Action
• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is
allowed to accidentally re-contact the worksurface.
• To Avoid Double Fires:
ʵ Do not engage the tool against the work surface with
a strongforce.
ʵ Allow the tool to recoil fully after eachactuation.
ʵ Use sequential actionmode.
• When bump actuating the framing nailer, always
keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of anail.
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
protruding nail may causeinjury.
• Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
ʵ Remove batterypack.
ʵ Engage trigger lock-off.
ʵ Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury and or propertydamage.
• 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.
