2. To sink a nail deeper, rotate the depth
adjustment wheel (d) to the right, toward the
deeper nail icon.
Selecting the Mode (fi g. 1)
To select sequential action mode, slide the mode
selector switch (i) to display the single nail icon (
).
To select bump action mode, slide the mode
selector switch (i) to display the three nail icon ( ).
NOTE: Maximum power for driving long nails is
achieved in sequential mode, so limit use of bump
mode when driving longer nails.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
There may be local workplace
regulations applicable which interdict the
use of the bump action mode for certain
applications.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 7)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle (p) as shown.
Preparing the Tool (fi g. 1)
1. Remove the battery pack (l) from the tool and
ensure the tool is locked off.
2. Remove all nails from the magazine (g).
3. Check if the contact trip (c) can move freely.
4. Reload the nails to the magazine.
5. Insert battery pack.
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the
contact trip or nail pusher cannot move
freely.
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.
Actuating the Tool (fi g. 1)
The tool can be operated using one of two modes:
sequential action mode or bump action mode.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION MODE
The sequential action mode is used for intermittent
nailing when very careful and accurate placement is
desired. It also offers the maximum delivery of power
for driving the longest nails.
1. Using the mode selector switch (i), select the
sequential action mode ( ).
2. Release the trigger safety lock-off (b).
3. Push the contact trip (c) against the work
surface.
4. Pull the trigger switch (a) to actuate the tool.
5. Release the trigger and raise the nailer from the
work surface.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 to actuate the next nail.
BUMP ACTION MODE
The bump action mode is used for rapid nailing on
flat, stationary surfaces and typically most effective
for application driving shorter nails.
1. Using the mode selector switch (i) to select the
bump action mode ( ).
2. Release the trigger safety lock-off (b).
3. To drive a single nail, operate the tool as
described for sequential action:
a. Push the contact trip (c) against the work
surface.
b. Pull the trigger switch (a) to actuate the tool.
Each trigger pull with the contact trip pushed
against the work surface will drive one nail.
4. To drive several nails, depress and hold the
trigger switch (a), and then push the contact trip
(c) repeatedly against the work surface.
WARNING: Do not keep the trigger
depressed when the tool is not in use.
Keep the trigger safety lock-off (b) in the
locked position to prevent accidental
actuation when the tool is not in use.
5. When changing between sequential and
bump modes, it may be necessary to adjust the
driving depth. Refer to Adjusting the Driving
Depth for instructions.
