OPERATION

There are two ways for working with this nailer (see also picture 

section):
Single Sequential Actuation:

Drive the fastener by pulling the trigger.
Contact (Bump) Actuation:

Hold the trigger and drive the fastener by pushing the nailer against 

the workpiece.

Reload Indicator

To indicate that the magazine is almost empty of fasteners (about 4-5 

left), the workpiece contact will not compress, preventing operation 

under usual pressure. Install more fasteners to continue working.

Setting the Depth of Drive (see picture section)

Know what is behind your workpiece. A fastener could travel through 

the workpiece and out the other side, striking a bystander and causing 

serious injury. Lower the depth of drive to prevent the fastener from 

being pushed all the way through the workpiece.

REQUIRED DAILY TESTING

 WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others, 

test the tool before beginning work each day or if the tool is 

dropped, received a sharp blow, been run over, etc. Complete the 

following checklist IN ORDER. If the tool does not work as it 

should, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility immediately.
Always point tool away from yourself and others.

1.  Remove battery pack.

WARNING!

 Always point the tool away from yourself and others 

when installing fasteners. Failure to do so could result in injury.

2.  Check all screws, bolts, nuts, and pins on the tool. Any loose 

fasteners must be tightened.

3.  Pull back the fastener pusher on the magazine (to override the 

Reload Indicator) and press the workpiece contact against a 

workpiece. It must move smoothly.

4.  With the workpiece contact pressed against the workpiece, pull the 

trigger. It must move smoothly.

5.  Insert battery pack.
6.  Select the Single Sequential Actuation Operation. Without pulling 

the trigger, pull back the fastener pusher on the magazine (to 

override the Reload Indicator) and press the workpiece contact 

against a workpiece. The tool must not operate. Holding the 

workpiece contact away from the workpiece, pull back the fastener 

pusher on the magazine (to override the Reload Indicator). Pull 

and hold the trigger for 5 seconds. The tool must not operate. 

Continue to pull and hold the trigger and push the workpiece 

contact against a workpiece. The tool must not operate. Without 

pulling the trigger, pull back the fastener pusher on the magazine 

(to override the Reload Indicator) and press the workpiece contact 

against a workpiece. Pull the trigger. The tool must operate. 

Release the trigger. The driver must move up. 

7.  Select the Contact Actuation Operation. Holding the workpiece 

contact away from the workpiece, pull back the fastener pusher on 

the magazine (to override the Reload Indicator) and pull the 

trigger. The tool must not operate. Continue to pull and hold the 

trigger and push the workpiece contact against a workpiece. The 

tool must operate.

8.  If all previous tests work properly, set the tool for your work. Select 

the operation and load fastener strips.

9.  Set the depth of drive according to the "Setting the Depth of Drive" 

section and see picture section.

10.  If all tests operate properly, the tool is ready for use. Repeat these 

tests before use each day or if the tool is dropped, received a 

sharp blow, been run over, jammed, etc.
