
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from
accidental actuation when attempting to adjust
depth, ALWAYS:
• Remove batterypack.
• Engage trigger lock‑off.
• Always point the nose of the nailer away fromyou.
• Avoid contact with trigger duringadjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using
the depth adjustment wheel


WARNING: The trigger lock‑off should always be engaged
whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not
inuse.
1. Push the door latch
13
to open the nail door
8
.
2. Rotate the canister cover
6
open.
3. Adjust the nail platform
15
according to the length of nails
beingused.
a. Swing the nail platform out and move it along the rail to
it set for one of threepostions.
b. Move the nail platform back into position making
sure the tab
16
its securely into one of the three
numberedslots.
Nail platform Nail length
Position 1 22 mm
Position 2 25 mm–33 mm
Position 3 38 mm–45 mm
4. Place the coil on the nail platform. Insert fasteners with
points down. IMPORTANT: Fasteners must point in the
same direction as they will bedriven.
5. Uncoil enough nails (approximately 76mm) to reach the
nose of thetool.
6. Insert the first nail into the nose and the second nail
between the two rails of the feedpawl.
NOTE: Be careful not to deform the coil of nails during the
loading process. Otherwise, the nail door will not close and
the nails might not feedconsistently.
7. Close the nail door making sure the door latch is
completelyengaged.
8. Close the canister covercompletely.
Loading the Tool (Fig.E–G)

WARNING: Keep the tool pointed away from yourself
andothers.

WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or
triggeractivated.

WARNING: Always remove battery pack before loading or
unloadingnails.

CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of pusher latch track to
preventinjury.
Using the Trigger Lock‑Off (Fig.D)
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 whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in
immediateuse.
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 Safety Instructions for Cordless Nailers 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.
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.
