UNLOADING THE TOOL

WARNING:

The battery should always be removed and the trigger lock-off engaged

whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in use.

1. Press the nail pusher latch and pull the magazine down.

2. Tip the tool up until the nails slide freely out of the magazine.

3. Open the jam clear door on the contact trip to verify there are no nails remaining.

ADJUSTING DEPTH (FIG. 5)

The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment wheel

(3) on the side 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.

• Avoid contact with trigger during

adjustments.

Depth settings are on a sliding scale, the

right side being the shallowest and the left

side being the deepest.

1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the

depth adjustment wheel (3) to the lowest

setting, towards the right on the depth

adjustment indicator (4).

2. To drive the nail deeper, rotate

the depth adjustment wheel (3) to the highest setting, towards the left on the depth

adjustment indicator (4).

WORK LIGHTS (FIG. 6)

There are work lights (5) located on each side of the nailer.

Work lights turn on upon depressing the contact trip.

NOTE: These work lights are for illuminating the

immediate work surface and are not intended to be

used as flashlights.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: The work lights will

flash and then turn off completely to indicate low

battery.

JAMMED NAIL INDICATOR: The work lights will flash continually if a nail becomes

jammed in the nose piece (see Clearing a jammed nail).

STALL RELEASE (FIG. 7)

WARNING:

If a jam occurs, the tool will disable itself and will require you to

reset it. To do so, follow instructions on clearing the jammed nail. Next remove battery

pack and then reinsert battery pack. The tool will now be operational.

If the nailer is used in rigorous application where all available energy in the motor is used

to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver

blade did not complete the drive cycle and the jam/

stall indicator will flash. Rotate the stall release lever

(6) on the tool and the mechanism will release as

shown in figure 7.

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.
