•
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
•
Do not point the tool at co-workers or
yourself at any time.
No horseplay! Work
safe! Respect the tool as a working imple-
ment. (Fig. B)
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
When tool is not in use, it should be locked
in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
•
Always use contact trip lock-off when
tool is not in immediate use.
Using the
contact trip lock-off will prevent accidental
discharge.
•
Do not overreach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times.
Loss of
balance may cause personal injury.
(Fig. C)
•
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do
not discharge fasteners into open air,
concrete, stone, extremely hard woods,
knots or any material too hard for the
fastener to penetrate.
Do not use the body
of the tool or top cap as a hammer.
Discharged fasteners may follow unexpect-
ed path and cause injury. (Figs. D, F)
•
Do not use the body of the tool or top
cap as a hammer.
•
Always keep fingers clear of contact
trip to prevent injury from inadvertent
release of the pusher
(Fig. H)
•
Refer to the
Maintenance
and
Repairs
sections for detailed information on the
proper maintenance of the tool.
•
Always operate the tool in a clean, light-
ed area.
Be sure the work surface is clear
of any debris and be careful not to lose foot-
ing 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 press-
ing the nailer against the material. The con-
tact trip may cause the work material to shift
unexpectedly. (Fig. H)
•
Do not use tool in the presence of flam-
mable 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 nail-
ing 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 unintentional double fires
resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fas-
teners 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 onto the heads of other
fasteners.
Strong recoil, jammed fasteners,
or ricocheted nails may result. (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 adjust-
ments
•
Do not drive nails blindly into walls,
floors or other work areas.
Fasteners driv-
en 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.
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, saw-
ing, 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 appropri-
ate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING:
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if oper-
ation 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.
