TRIGGER SWITCH (Fig. 5)
To turn the tool ON, press the trigger switch
and keep it pressed.
To turn it OFF, release the trigger switch.
CAUTION:
Do not let familiarity
with your auto hammer make you
careless. Remember that a fraction of a
second of carelessness is sufficient to
cause severe injury.
The LED worklight located on the base
of the auto hammer comes on when the
trigger switch is depressed. The LED
worklight turns off when the trigger switch
is released. This provides additional
lighting on the surface of the workpiece for
operation in lower-light areas.
HAMMER HEAD
The hammer head impacts the nails
automatically when the tool is turned on and
the hammer head is pressed against a nail.
MAGNETIC SLEEVE (Fig. 6)
The magnetic sleeve holds the head of the inserted
nail against the recessed hammer head for the
beginning of nail driving. The sleeve retracts at the
end of nail driving to allow the hammer head to drive
the nail head flush to the workpiece.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
To stop the hammer head, release the trigger
switch and allow the hammer head to come
to a complete stop. The electric brake quickly
stops the hammering action. This feature
engages automatically when you release the
trigger switch.
HAMMERING (Fig. 7)
1. Attach the battery pack to the auto hammer.
2. Secure the material to be nailed with clamps
to keep it from turning when hammering.
3. Holding the auto hammer firmly, place
the hammer head against the nail. The
magnetic sleeve will help to hold the nail
in place.
4. Holding the shaft of the nail steady with
your hand, press the trigger switch to
drive the nail just far enough into the
workpiece so that it stands on its own.
5. After the nail is secured in the workpiece,
remove your hand from the nail.
WARNING:
Failure to remove
the hand from the nail could result in
personal injury.
6. Place the magnetic sleeve over the
nail. Depress the trigger switch to
continue hammering until the nail is fully
hammered into the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not force the
hammer or apply sideways pressure. Hold
the tool firmly. The tool will hammer the
nail automatically.
