Bump Action (Fig. G)
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that
require driving shorternails.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two
methods of tool operation are available: place actuation
and bumpactuation.

To Operate the Tool Using the Bump
ActuationMethod:
1. Depress thetrigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is depressed, the tool will drive a nail every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user
to drive multiple nails insequence.

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 inuse.

WARNING: When the tool’s motor is running, pulling
the trigger or depressing the contact trip will cause a
nail to bedriven.


WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply
lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can
seriously affect the life and performance of thetool.

carton. Follow instructions outlined (see Charging
a Battery).
1. Read the safety instruction section of thismanual.
2. Wear eye and earprotection.
3. Ensure magazine is empty of allfasteners.
4. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact
trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either
assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use
a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the
actuatedposition.
5. Keep tool pointed away from yourself andothers.
6. Insert fully charged batterypack.
Using the Trigger Lock-off (Fig. H)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not
in use. Keep the trigger lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig.H)
when the tool is not inuse.


injury, lock off trigger, disconnect battery pack
from tool and remove nails from magazine before
makingadjustments.
Each
DeWALT
nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off
2
which when pushed to the right as shown in FigureH,
prevents the tool from firing a nail by locking the trigger and
bypassing power to themotor.
