Bump Action
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that
require driving shorternails.
To Operate the Tool Using the Bump Actuation Method
1. Depress thetrigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user
to drive multiple nails insequence.

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool
is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the locked
position when the tool is not inuse.

WARNING: When the tool’s motor is running, the
next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing the
contact trip, will cause a nail tofire.
Preparing the Tool
NOTICE: 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.
NOTE: The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Follow instructions outlined (refer to Charging
aBattery).
1. Read the Nailer Safety Warnings section of
thismanual.
2. Wear eye and earprotection.
3. Remove battery fromtool.
4. Ensure magazine is empty of allfastners.
5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact
trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either
assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use
a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the
actuatedposition.
6. Keep tool pointed away from yourself andothers.
7. Insert fully charged batterypack.
Using the Trigger Lock-Off (Fig.D)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not
in use. Keep the trigger lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig.D)
when the tool is not inuse.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, lock off trigger, disconnect battery pack
from tool and remove nails from magazine before
makingadjustments.
Each
DeWALT
nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off
4
which when pushed to the right as shown in FigureD,
prevents the tool from firing a nail by locking the trigger and
bypassing power to themotor.

When the trigger lock-off is pressed to the left, the tool will
be fully operational. The trigger lock-off should always be
locked off (Fig.D) whenever any adjustments are made or
when tool is not in immediateuse.
NOTICE: Do not store tool with battery pack installed.
To prevent damage to the pack and to ensure best
battery life, store battery packs out of the tool or
charger in a cool, drylocation.
