Load the nail
It is a good practice to
always keep the Nail
Magazine full. This redu-
ces damage to the Piston
Brake/Stop and subsequent
damage to the Nail Detec-
tion Mechanism
Tip: For DX 9-HSN load 6
nail strips and DX 9-ENP
4 nail strips rst and then
always load nails when
cartridge strip runs out.
Align tool with the
deck marking
Align the tool with the
marking prior to fastening.
Piston jam is a reported
problem by our customers.
In most cases is due to
missing the joist or beam
while making the fastening.
Missing the joist and beam
at the time of fastening can
reduce the lifetime of the
Piston and Piston Brake/
Stop. Hence, it is important
to mark the deck and align
the tool with the mark while
fastening.
