UNLOADING THE TOOL
WARNING: The trigger lock-off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments are made
or when tool is not in use.
1. Slide the spring-loaded pusher latch to the base of the magazine to lock it into place.
2. Tip the tool up until the fastener strip slides freely out of the magazine.
NOTE: If nails don’t release press the nail support lever (N).
3. With battery removed, check the nosepiece to verify there are no nails remaining.
NOTE: The tool is equipped with a magnet in the nose area for improved tool performance. When
unloading, always verify that the small sticks of nails are not held to the magnetized nose piece.
Nail Length Setting (Fig. 7)
This nailer is equipped with a nail length selection switch (O) located on
the foot.
• For shorter nails, select speed 1 by setting the switch to the left most
position.
• For longer nails and more rigorous applications, select speed 2 by
setting the switch to the right most position.
In the event that nails are not driving to depth in speed setting 1, you may
have to switch to speed setting 2 for additional driving power.
NOTICE: Firing nails under 2-inches in length using Speed Setting 2 will cause excessive
wear to your tool and may result in early failures.

Actuating/Firing the Tool (Fig. 1, 8, 9)
WARNING: Metal connector nails are not designed to penetrate metal. When installing metal
connectors, ALWAYS place the exposed point of the metal connector tip (M) into the metal
connector’s pre-formed hole, and orient so the nail is perpendicular to the hole before attempting to
drive a fastener. Refer to Figure 8.
FIG. 8
WARNING: Fasteners must be driven straight into the material. Do not tilt nailer while driving
fasteners. Refer to Fig. 9.

FIG. 9
The tool can be fired/actuated by pulling the trigger (A) in one of two modes: sequential mode or
RapidCycle
TM
mode. Refer to Selecting the Mode for detailed instructions for firing in each mode.
Selecting the Mode (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
hearing protection when operating tool.
To select standard sequential mode, slide the mode selector switch (I) to display the single
arrow ( ) icon.
To select rapid sequential operating mode (RapidCycle
TM
), slide the mode selector switch (I) to display
the double arrow ( ) icon.
NOTE: Battery life in RapidCycle
TM
mode will be shorter than in standard sequential mode. Leaving
the tool in standard sequential will give maximum battery life.
SEQUENTIAL MODE
The sequential mode is used for intermittent nailing. It offers the maximum battery life for driving nails.
1. Using the mode selector switch (i), select the sequential mode.
2. Release the trigger safety lock-off (B).
3. Push the contact trip (C) against the work surface.
4. Pull the trigger switch (A) to actuate the tool.
5. Release the trigger and raise the nailer from the work surface.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 to actuate the next nail.
RAPIDCYCLE
TM
MODE
In RapidCycle
TM
mode, the motor rotation speed is automatically restored after driving a nail to allow
fast consecutive nailing. While offering the ability to drive more nails in less time, this mode more
quickly depletes the battery charge.
1. Using the mode selector switch (i) to select the RapidCycle
TM
mode.
2. Release the trigger safety lock-off (B).
3. Push the contact trip (C) against the work surface.
4. Pull the trigger switch (A) to actuate the tool.
5. Release the trigger and raise the nailer from the work surface. NOTE: The tool motor returns to
full speed automatically without the contact tip (C) being depressed.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 to actuate the next nail.
