Single Sequential Actuation Operation
1. Grip the handle fi rmly.
2.
Position the nose of the tool on the work
surface.
3. Push the tool against the work surface,
compressing the workpiece contact.
4.
Pull the trigger to drive the fastener. The
tool will recoil away from the workpiece
as the fastener is driven.
5. Remove your fi nger from the trigger and
remove the tool from the workpiece.
NOTE:
If the tool is not removed from
the workpiece, another fastener may be
driven if the trigger is pulled again.

Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part
of a fastener wedging between the driver
blade and the nail guide. Fastener strips
with an incorrect collation angle or the
wrong fastener type (such as round head
fasteners) may cause continuous jamming.
To clear the jam:
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
and remove fastener coil.
3.
With the fastener door and magazine still
open, check for and remove any loose
nails or debris.
4.
If a nail is jammed in the nail guide, insert
a screwdriver into the end of the nail
guide. The tip of the screwdriver should
contact the tip of the driver blade.
5. Tap the screwdriver gently with a ham-
mer. The screwdriver will push the driver
blade back, freeing the jam.
6. Remove the fastener and other debris
(use needle-nose pliers if necessary).
7. Follow the steps under "Required Daily
Testing" before restarting the work.
WARNING
The operator and other people in the
work area must wear eye protection
in accordance with ANSI Z87.1. Eye
protection does not fi t all operators
in the same way. Make sure the eye
protection chosen has side shields or
provides protection from fl ying debris
both from the front and sides. The
employer is responsible for enforcing
the use of eye protection by the opera-
tor and other people in the work area.
When required, wear head protection
in accordance with ANSI Z89.1.
Contact Actuation Operation
1. Grip the handle fi rmly.
2. Pull and hold the trigger.
3. Push the tool against the work surface,
compressing the workpiece contact to
drive the fastener. The tool will recoil
away from the workpiece as the fastener
is driven.
NOTE:
Contact Actuation will also work by
fi rst compressing the workpiece contact, then
pulling the trigger.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to your-
self and others, test the tool before
beginning work each day according to
the "Required Daily Testing" section.
Do not use the tool unless you thor-
oughly understand the actuation
operation selected.
Disconnect the air supply from the
tool and remove fastener strips
before leaving the work area, mov-
ing the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in seri-
ous injury.
Do not carry an air hose or a tool con-
nected to an air hose when climbing
ladders, rigging or scaffolding. Do
not attach an air hose or tool con-
nected to an air hose to your body
when working at elevated heights.
Attach the hose to the structure to
reduce the risk of loss of balance and
injury if the hose shifts.
Tap screwdriver to free fastener
WARNING
NEVER wedge or hold back the work-
piece contact mechanism during
operation of the tool. Never attempt
to clear a jammed workpiece contact
by grasping the discharge area of the
tool. Doing so could result in serious
injury.
To avoid serious injury, do not attempt
to prevent the recoil by holding the
tool too fi rmly against the work. Keep
face and body away from the tool.
During normal use, the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener.
This is a normal function of the tool.
Restriction to the recoil can result
in a second fastener being driven
when the tool is in Contact Actuation
mode. Grip the handle fi rmly, let the
tool do the work, and do not place
a second hand on top of the tool or
near exhaust.
