Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
Pull the switch trigger or actuate the contact element to
light up the lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while pull -
ing the switch trigger or actuating the contact element.
The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after
releasing the switch trigger and the contact element.
► Fig.7: 1. Lamp
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
NOTE: Even in the lamp lights up when the battery
power residual gets small, pin nailer may not fire pin
nails. In this case, charge the battery cartridge.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the pin
nailer.
Loading the pin nailer
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the battery
cartridge is removed before loading the pin nailer.
Unintentional firing may cause personal injuries and
property damage.
CAUTION:
Do not abruptly slide the magazine
of the pin nailer loaded with pin nails. Accidentally
dropping pin nails especially when working in high
places may cause personal injuries.
CAUTION:
Load pin nails in the correct direc-
tion. Loading in wrong direction may cause prema-
ture wear and tear of the driver and damage of the
other parts.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed connected
pin nails. Use pin nails specified in this manual.
Using pin nails other than those specified may cause
pin nail jamming and breakage of the pin nailer.
1. Remove the battery cartridge.
2. Press the locking lever and slide the magazine
backward.
3. Align the tip of pin nails with the grooves at the
bottom of the magazine and push the whole part of pin
nails toward the driver guide. (Be careful to place pin
nails in the right direction.)

Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before installing the nose adapter.
When firing pin nails on the material with easily-marred sur -
faces, use the nose adapter. To install the nose adapter, place
it over the driver guide cover so that the protrusion inside the
nose adapter fits to the dent in the driver guide cover.
You can store the nose adapter on the holder on the
back end of the magazine to keep it from being lost.

Hook
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt. Dropping the pin nailer, which is caused
by the hook accidentally coming out of place, may
cause unintentional firing and result in personal
injuries.
► Fig.10
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
