Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
OPERATION
There are two ways to operate the product:
See illustration 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 illustration 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.
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
gauge may cause continuous jamming.
Follow these steps to clear a jammed fastener:
1. Remove the battery pack.
WARNING! Always point the product away from yourself
and others when installing or removing fasteners. Failure
to do so could result in injury.
2. Remove the fastener strip from magazine.
3. Remove the fastener using needle-nose pliers. If
necessary, remove the magazine from the product.
4. Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing" before
restarting the work.
