Actuating Tool
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, Always wear
proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and hearing
protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating
this tool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes:
single sequential action trigger mode and bump action
trigger mode.
Sequential Action Trigger - Gray
Trigger (Fig. A)
The sequential action trigger’s intended use is for
intermittent fastening where very careful and accurate
placement is desired.
To Operate the nailer in sequential Action Mode
1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
WARNING: A fastener will be driven each time the
trigger is pulled as long as the contact trip remains
depressed which could result in accidental driving.
Bump Action Trigger - Black Trigger
(Fig. A)
The bump action trigger’s intended use is for rapid fastening
on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the bump action trigger, two methods are available:
place actuation and bump actuation.
To Operate the Tool Using the Place Actuation Method
1. Push the contact trip 2 against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
To Operate the Tool Using the Bump Actuation Method
1. Pull the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is pulled, the tool will drive a fastener
every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the
user to drive multiple fasteners in sequence.
WARNING:
Do not keep trigger pulled when tool is
not in use.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. F)
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from
accidental actuation when attempting to adjust
depth, ALWAYS:
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using
the depth adjustment next to the trigger of the tool.
1. To drive the fastener shallower, rotate the depth
adjustment wheel 10 to the right.
2. To drive a fastener deeper, rotate the depth adjustment
wheel 10 to the left.

Cold Weather Operation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before
making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
An accidental
actuation can cause injury.
WARNING: Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the
tools operating valves and mechanisms that could
cause tool failure.
WARNING: Some commercial air line drying
liquids are harmful to “O”‑rings and seals – do
not use these low temperature air dryers without
checking compatibility.
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Make sure compressor tanks have been properly
drained prior to use.
