Mode Selection
The finish nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation
or sequential actuation. Before operating this tool, look at the
selector switch to determine the actuation mode. Read all
instructions before selecting actuationmode.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not
driving nails to avoid accidental fastener discharge.
NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode
tool will drive a nail if contact trip is bumped while trigger
isdepressed.
Sequential Action (Fig.D)
Use sequential actuation mode for intermittent nailing where
very careful and accurate placement and depth control is
desired. The sequential actuation mode provides the maximum
delivery of power for driving the longestnails.
To operate the nailer in sequential actuation mode:
1. Slide the selector switch
8
to expose the single nail
icon .
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor
willstart).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into worksurface).
4. Releasetrigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off worksurface.
6. Repeat steps 2through 4for nextapplication.
NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed
by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both
the contact trip and trigger after eachnail.
Bump Action (Fig.D)
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that require
driving shorternails.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two
methods of tool operation are available: place actuation and
bumpactuation.
Slide the selector switch
8
to expose the triple nail icon .
To operate the tool using the place actuation method:
WARNING: A nail will be driven each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the contact trip remainsdepressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the worksurface.
2. Depress thetrigger.
To operate the tool using the bump actuation method:
1. Depress thetrigger.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig.C)
Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge
18
, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level
of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end‑userapplication.
2. To switch the tool from right‑ to left‑hand usage simply
remove the screw
17
from the opposite side of the tool and
reassemble on the otherside.
3. Replace batterypack.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a 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
knockedover.
