TO CHANGE BROKEN RETURN SPRINGS:
NOTE: Springs should be replaced as a pair, using only the correct D
EWALT accessory spring
replacement kit.
1. Using the key (K) provided, loosen the two screws (aa) on either side of the unit. Refer to
Figure 15.
2. Remove the return system (bb) from the unit. Refer to Figure 16.
3. Slide the spring rail clip (cc) off of the spring rail (dd). Refer to figure17.
4. Twist and remove the Spring Bumper (ee) and remove the washer (ff) and return spring
(gg). Refer to figure 18.
5. Mount the new return spring and washer on to the spring rail (dd). While compressing the
spring with the washer near the opposite end of the rail, twist on the new spring bumper
until it is past the groove (hh) for the spring rail clip.
6. Mount the new spring rail clip securely and position the bumper against the clip.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 for the second spring.
NOTE: Check the return of the profile by sliding the profile up the spring rail and letting it
go. It should return due to the force from the springs.
8. Slide the return system (bb) back into the unit. It is important to try the alignment of the
profile and the flywheel before screwing the return system back on to the unit. This can
be done by connecting a battery and pushing then releasing the nose of the unit against
a bench or hard surface. This will start the motor spinning.
NOTE: When the profile and the flywheel are correctly aligned, you will hear the motor
coast back down from full speed. If the profile and the flywheel are not correctly aligned,
the motor it may not start up, may slow down much faster than normal along with a loud
grinding noise from the unit. If this happens remove and reseat the return system.
9. Once the return system is correctly seated, open the provided sachet of Loctite
®
* and
apply a small amount on the thread of the two screws (aa) and remount the two screws
using the key and tighten securely.
WARNING: Always test the unit by firing short nails in to soft wood, to ensure that the tool
is working properly. If tool does not operate properly, contact a recognized D
EWALT service
