LOADING THE FASTENERS (FIG. C to E)
1. Open the magazine. Pull down door latch and swing door open. Door swing to
the left. Swing magazine cover open. Magazine cover swings to the right.
2. Check the adjustment for the size of nail to be inserted. The nail support can be
moved up or down to three settings. To change the setting, pull up on the post and
twist to the correct stop. The nail support should be adjusted to the position as fol-
lows: 1-3/4” nails – use bottom stop; 1-1/4”, 1-1/2” – use middle stop; 3/4”, 1” – use
top stop. A gauge is located on the side of the magazine noting the position for each
size nail.
3. Place the coil of nails over the post in the magazine. Uncoil enough nails to reach
the feed pawl, and place the second nail between the teeth on the feed pawl. The
nail heads fit in the slot on nose.
4. Swing magazine cover closed.
5. Close the door, check the latch engages (if the latch does not engage, check that
the nail heads are in the slot on the nose). Then you should be all good to go!
SHINGLE GUIDE (FIG. F)
This guide can be used to control shingle spacing.
Loosen the screw to adjust the gauge to the desired
shingle exposure.
ADJUSTING THE DIRECTIONAL EXHAUST DEFLECTOR (FIG. G)
Adjust the directional exhaust deflector so that the exhaust air blast is directed away
from the operator. Grasp the deflector and rotate it to the desired position for the
current application.

TYPES OF TRIGGERS
Because we’re nice people, we have included two different triggers that you can use with the WEN Coil Roofing
Nailer depending on the task at hand.
Rapid Fire Trigger (Red Trigger): This trigger allows for nails to be shot quickly, one after another. Only one of
the two safety mechanisms (the trigger or the safety bracket) needs to be disengaged between nails. This gives users
the opportunity for both bump fire (where the trigger remains engaged and the bump of the safety bracket fires
nail after nail) and also sequential fire (where the safety bracket remains engaged and the repetitive pulling of the
trigger shoots nail after nail). This is best for larger jobs where speed is more important than precision.
Single Sequential Trigger (Black Trigger): This trigger prevents the nailer from being able to bump fire. This
means you cannot hold down the trigger and press down on the safety bracket in order to fire multiple nails in a
row. This would be the preferred method for more detailed and specific nailing jobs.
