CAUTION: When removing a jammed nail, DO NOT orient the nailer with the nose up or
with the battery foot up. Positioning the nailer this way makes the jammed nail or pieces of the nail
more likely to be ingested into the nailer. If any portion of a nail is ingested into the tool, the nail should
be retrieved by removing the top cap.
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed
away from you and follow these instructions to clear:
1. Remove battery pack from tool and engage trigger lock-off.
2. After laying the tool on its side, slide the spring-loaded pusher
latch (H) to the base of the magazine to lock it into place and
unload nail strip.
NOTE: If nails don’t release press nail support lever (N).
3. Using the hex tool (K) provided, loosen the two hex bolts (Q)
at the top of the magazine.
4. Rotate the magazine (G) forward.
5. Remove jammed/bent nail, using pliers if necessary.
CAUTION: If any portion of a nail is ingested into the tool, the nail should be retrieved by removing
the top cap.
6. If the driver blade is in the down position, rotate the stall release lever on the top of thenailer.
NOTE: If the driver blade will not reset after rotating the stall release lever, manually resetting the
blade with a long screw driver may be necessary.
7. Rotate the magazine back into position under the nose of the tool and tighten hex bolts.
8. Reinsert battery pack.
NOTE: The tool will disable itself and not reset until the battery pack has been removed and
reinserted.
9. Reinsert nails into magazine (refer to Loading the Tool).
10. Release the pusher latch.
11. Disengage the trigger lock-off when ready to continue nailing.
NOTE: Should nails jam frequently or the driver blade continually fail to reset, have tool serviced by
an authorized
DeWALT
service center.
Cold Weather Operation
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
2. Actuate the tool 10 or 15 times into scrap lumber before using.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can
deteriorate bumpers and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.
Rotating Rafter Hook (Fig. 13)
WARNING: Never use hook to hang tool from belt or other clothing unless tool is in sequntial
action mode.
WARNING: Remove nails from magazine before making any adjustments or servicing this tool.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.
CAUTION: Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
The
DeWALT
cordless nailer includes a rotating rafter hook (J) and can be
easily positioned to the left or right of the tool to accommodate left- or right-
handed users.
If use of the hook is not desired at all, it can be rotated to the front or back
of the handle base.

Adjusting Depth (Fig. 10)
The depth that the nail is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment wheel (C) on the nose
of the tool.
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting
to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage trigger lock-off.
• Always point the nose of the nailer away from you.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth adjustment
wheel (C) to the left, toward the shallow nail icon.
2. To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth adjustment wheel
(C) to the right, toward the deeper nail icon .

ERROR
Reset tool by removing and reinserting battery pack
or cycling trigger lock off. If error code persist, take
tool to an authorized
DeWALT
service center.
Stall Release (Fig. 11)
If the nailer is used in harder wood where all available energy in the motor
FIG. 11
E
is used to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver blade will not
complete the drive cycle and the jam/stall indicator will flash. Rotate the
stall release lever (E) on the tool and the mechanism will release. NOTE:
The tool will disable itself and not reset until the battery pack has been
removed and reinserted. If the driver blade does not automatically return
to the home position, proceed to Clearing a Jammed Nail. If the unit
continues to stall please review the material and fastener length to be
sure that it is not too rigorous an application.
Clearing a Jammed Nail (Fig. 1, 12)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, disconnect battery pack from
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, servicing, or moving the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
