OPERATION
Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the magazine.
Release the pusher and allow it to push the nails up to
the driving mechanism. The pusher will stop when it rests
against the end of the nail strip.
NOTE: Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this
tool (refer to the Fastener Guide). The use of any
other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading
to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or
trigger activated. Doing so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use nails smaller than .113 in. nail shank
diameter. Doing so may cause nails to exit the tool
prematurely through the guide track. Do not use
hardened nails with pneumatic tools. This could
lead to excessive wear of the guide body and allow
nails to exit the back of the guide body, leading to
serious personal injury.
USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See Figures 8 - 9.
WARNING:
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact
mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so
could result in possible serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger
set in the Single Sequential Actuation mode. The selectable
trigger can also be set for Contact Actuation mode.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate
fastener placement.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.
Rotate the selector to Position A.
Release the trigger lever pivot pin.
WARNING:
The nailer will not function properly if the selector
is not securely seated in either position A or B.
Always assure the selector is seated properly
to avoid an unexpected fastener discharge and
possible serious personal injury.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose
of the tool onto the work surface.
Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of nails has been driven.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener place-
ment.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.
Rotate the selector to Position B.
Release the trigger lever pivot pin.
NOTE: The trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held
in position by locking tab to prevent movement during op-
eration.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the
work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive
a fastener.
Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of nails has been driven.
NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be
operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the
surface and squeezing the trigger.
WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function
of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil
by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction
to the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let
the tool do the work, and do not place second
hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
