careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
•
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail
may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it
to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work
material. Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular
to the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Figs. E, F, M)
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle.
Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted
nails may result. (Fig. G)
•
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area.
Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure
the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly. (Fig. H)
•
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes.
The tool may produce a spark that
could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into
another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. I)
•
Keep face and body parts away from back of the
tool cap when working in restricted areas.
Sudden
recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when
nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. J)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener
is driven.
In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to
recontact work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
•
Choice of triggering method is important.
Check the
manual for triggering options.
BUMP/SEQUENTIAL SELECTOR SWITCH
Sequential Action
(Fig. K)
• When using the tool in sequential action, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
Bump Action
(Fig. L)
• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is
allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface.
TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
• Do not engage the tool against the work surface
with a strong force.
• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
• When “bump” actuating the finish nailer, always
keep tool in control.
Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
•
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas.
Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury. (Fig. M)
•
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer.
A
protruding nail may cause injury.
•
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious
injury from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage contact trip lock-off (Fig. N).
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
•
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas.
Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury. (Fig. O)
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.

E
WALT Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Extension Cords
CAUTION:
Use only extension cords that are approved by
the country’s Electrical Authority. Before using extension
cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires, damaged
insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if
necessary.
WARNING:
Use of this product will expose you to
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Avoid
inhaling vapors and dust, and wash hands after using.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING:
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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 knocked over.

Important Safety Instructions
for Battery Packs
Your tool uses a D
E
WALT battery pack. When ordering
replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog
number and voltage: Extended Run-Time battery packs

deliver more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult the chart at the
end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
NOTE:
Your tool will accept either standard or Extended Run Time battery
packs. However, be sure to select proper voltage. Batteries slowly lose their
charge when they are not on the charger, the best place to keep your battery
is on the charger at all times.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the
battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or
is completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fire.
•
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under
extreme usage or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a
failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
(
Medical note:
The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.)
• Charge the battery packs only in D
E
WALT chargers.
•
DO NOT
splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 40
˚
C (105°F) (such as outside
sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER:
Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs
should be returned to service center for recycling.
