WARNING: Remove nails from magazine before making
any adjustments or servicing this tool. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Disconnect battery pack from tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, servic-
ing, or moving the tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand
upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance Chart
ACTION Clean magazine, pusher, and contact trip mechanism.
WHY Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces wear,
and prevents jams.
HOW Blow clean with compressor air. The use of oils, lubri-
cants periodically or solvents is not recommended as
they tend to attract debris.
ACTION Before each use, check to insure all screws, nuts and
fasteners are tight and undamaged.
WHY Prevents jams and premature failure of tool parts.
HOW Tighten loose screws or other fasteners using the
appropriate allen wrench or screwdriver.
Cleaning
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously
damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, turpentine, lac-
quer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet
before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the
exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic
brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Lubrication
CAUTION: NEVER spray or in
any other way apply lubricants or
cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can
seriously affect the life and performance
of the tool.
DEWALT tools are properly lubricated at
the factory and are ready for use.
However, it is recommended that, once a year, you take or
send the tool to a certified service center for a thorough
cleaning and inspection.

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, main-
tenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and
