Operator’s Manual

Reload Indicator
To indicate that the magazine is almost empty of
fasteners (about 4-5 left), the workpiece contact
will not compress, preventing operation under usual
pressure. Install more fasteners to continue working.
WARNING
NEVER wedge or hold back the
workpiece contact mechanism
during operation of the tool. Never attempt to
clear a jammed workpiece contact by grasping
the discharge area of the tool. Doing so could
result in serious injury.
To avoid serious injury, do not attempt to prevent
the recoil by holding the tool too rmly against
the work. Keep face and body away from the
tool. During normal use, the tool will recoil im-
mediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal
function of the tool. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven when
the tool is in Contact Actuation mode. Grip the
handle rmly, let the tool do the work, and do not
place a second hand on top of the tool.
Setting the Depth of Drive
The depth of drive can be adjusted to account for
the size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
WARNING
Know what is behind your
workpiece. A fastener could travel
through the workpiece and out the other side,
striking a bystander and causing serious injury.
Lower the depth of drive to prevent the fastener
from being pushed all the way through the
workpiece.
1. Drive a test fastener.
2. Remove battery pack.
3. WARNING! Always point
the tool away from yourself
and others when making
adjustments. Failure to do
so could result in injury.
4. Turn the depth selector left
or right to increase or de-
crease the driving depth.
5. Repeat until desired depth is
reached.
Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of a
fastener wedging between the driver blade and the
nail guide. Fastener strips with an incorrect colla-
tion angle or the wrong fastener gauge may cause
continuous jamming. To clear the jam:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. WARNING! Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing or removing
fasteners. Failure to do so could result in injury.
3. Remove fastener strip from magazine.
4. Remove the fastener using needle-nose pliers.
If necessary, remove magazine from tool.
5. Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing"
before restarting the work.
Resetting Striker
After a nail jam or low battery condition, the striker
may not reset.
To reset the striker,
1. Remove battery pack.
2. WARNING! Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing or removing
fasteners. Failure to do so could result in injury.
3. Remove fastener strip from magazine.
4. Check for incorrect striker position. If striker
does not require a reset, see steps for clearing a
jammed nail.
5. To reset striker, install battery pack.
6. Hold open the nail pusher (to override the Reload
Indicator) and press the workpiece contact against
a workpiece.
7. Pull the trigger.
8. The striker will retract.
9. Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing"
before restarting the work.
REQUIRED DAILY TESTING
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to your-
self and others, test the tool before
beginning work each day or if the tool is dropped,
received a sharp blow, been run over, etc. Com-
plete the following checklist IN ORDER. If the tool
does not work as it should, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility immediately.
Always point tool away from yourself and others.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. WARNING! Always point the tool away from
yourself and others when installing fasteners.
Failure to do so could result in injury.
3. Check all screws, bolts, nuts, and pins on the tool.
Any loose fasteners must be tightened.
4. Hold open the nail pusher (to override the Re-
load Indicator) and press the workpiece contact
against a workpiece. It must move smoothly.
5. With the workpiece contact pressed against the
workpiece, pull the trigger. It must move smoothly.
6. Insert battery pack.
7. Select the Single Sequential Actuation Operation.
Without pulling the trigger, hold open the nail
pusher (to override the Reload Indicator) and
press the workpiece contact against a workpiece.
The tool must not operate.
Holding the workpiece contact away from the
workpiece, open the nail pusher (to override
the Reload Indicator). Pull and hold the trig-
ger for 5 seconds. The tool must not operate.
Continue to pull and hold the trigger and push the
workpiece contact against a workpiece. The tool
must not operate.
Without pulling the trigger, hold open the nail
pusher (to override the Reload Indicator) and
press the workpiece contact against a work-
piece. Pull the trigger. The tool must operate.
Release the trigger. The driver must move up.
8. Select the Contact Actuation Operation.
Holding the workpiece contact away from the
workpiece, hold open the nail pusher (to override
the Reload Indicator) and pull the trigger. The tool
must not operate.
Continue to pull and hold the trigger and push the
workpiece contact against a workpiece. The tool
must operate.
9. If all previous tests work properly, set the tool for your
work. Select the operation and load fastener strips.
10. Set the depth of drive according to the "Setting
the Depth of Drive" section.
11. If all tests operate properly, the tool is ready for
use. Repeat these tests before use each day or if
the tool is dropped, received a sharp blow, been
run over, jammed, etc.
