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.
