OPERATION

Lift the tool from the workpiece to drive the next staple.
NOTE: Hold trigger until drive cycle is complete.

Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of fasteners has been driven.
NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be
operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the
surface and squeezing the trigger.
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
The dry-fire lockout feature keeps the tool from operating
when fasteners are low in the magazine.
The low staple indicator window in the magazine shows
how many staples remain in the tool.
When the magazine has 0-5 staples remaining, the dry-fire
lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with staples.
CONSTRUCTION RULER
A construction ruler located along the left side of the maga-
zine allows the operator to make quick measurements while
working.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 10, page 13.
Press LED worklight grip switch while firmly holding tool
during operation.
DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK
The LED worklight provides feedback to indicate whether
the battery pack is charged sufficiently and/or if the tool is
functioning properly.
If the light goes out on your stapler, the unit has timed out
for your protection. Lift tool from the workpiece and release
trigger to reactivate the stapler before beginning next drive
cycle.
If LED worklight is flashing, install fully charged battery.
If light continues to flash, see
Troubleshooting section for
more information.
REMOVING A JAMMED STAPLE
See Figure 11, page 13.
WARNING:
Remove the battery pack before removing staples or
clearing a jammed staple. Failure to do so could result

The driver mechanism can usually be returned to its operat-
ing position by depressing the workpiece contact against a
scrap piece of wood and squeezing the trigger.
If this does not automatically return the driver mechanism
into the tool, the tool may be jammed.

Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the driving mechanism
and push the driver mechanism back, freeing the jam.
