Mode Selection
The finish nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation
or sequential actuation. Before operating this tool, look at the
selector switch to determine the actuation mode. Read all
instructions before selecting actuation mode.
WARNING:
Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not
driving nails to avoid accidental fastener discharge.
NEVER
carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode
tool will drive a nail if contact trip is bumped while trigger
is depressed.
Sequential Action (Fig. D)
Use sequential actuation mode for intermittent nailing where
very careful and accurate placement and depth control is
desired. The sequential actuation mode provides the maximum
delivery of power for driving the longest nails.
To operate the nailer in sequential actuation mode:
1. Slide the selector switch
8
to expose the single nail
icon
.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor
will start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
NOTICE:
The contact trip needs to be depressed followed
by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both
the contact trip and trigger after each nail.
Bump Action
(Fig. D)
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that require
driving shorter nails.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two
methods of tool operation are available: place actuation and
bump actuation.
Slide the selector switch
8
to expose the triple nail icon
.
To operate the tool using the place actuation method:
WARNING:
A nail will be driven each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle

The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end‑user application.
