Cold Weather Operation
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
2. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber before
using.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct
sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers and other
rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.

WALT cordless nailers include an
integrated suspension hook (J) and can be
