Remove the battery. Remove the pad by pulling it down 

and away from the nose. To replace the pad, fit it into place 

over the nose and push up to reseat.
On-board storage for the pad is located on the magazine of 

the tool. An extra no-mar pad is provided in the on-board 

storage area.

LOADING THE TOOL WITH BRAD NAILS
See Figures 5 - 6.

 

 WARNING

Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others 

when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in 

possible serious personal injury.

 

■ Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.

 

■ With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, 

squeeze magazine release button located at the rear 

of the magazine and slide the magazine cover open.

 

■ Place the brad nails in the channel with the nail tips 

pointing down. Ensure that the nail tips rest on the 

bottom of the channel and the nail heads are seated 

in the slot.

 

■ Push the magazine cover closed until it securely snaps 

into place.

 

■ Make sure that the magazine is securely locked in 

place.

 

■ Reinstall battery, and reactivate nailer by pressing the 

work light grip switch.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
See Figure 7.

The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size 

of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into 

the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.

 

■ Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.

 

■ Turn air pressure dial clockwise to increase air pressure 

or counterclockwise for decreased pressure.

It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air 

pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are 

needed, use the depth of drive adjustment on the tool.

DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8.
NOTE:

 If 50mm (2”) nails are driven into seasoned 

hardwood thicker than 30mm, they may not drive in fully.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond 

air pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap 

workpiece to determine the required depth for the 

application.
To  determine  depth  of  drive,  first  adjust  the  air  pressure 

and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the 

depth of drive adjustment on the tool. Harder materials and 

longer nails will require more force to drive the nail.

 

■ Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.

 

■ Turn the depth of drive adjustment left or right to change 

the driving depth.

 

■ Reinstall battery and reactivate the tool by pressing the 

work light grip switch.

 

■ Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired 

depth is set.

NOTE:

 Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that 

will meet your needs.

DRIVING BRAD NAILS
See Figure 9 .

 

 WARNING

Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact 

mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so could 

result in possible serious injury.

Single sequential actuation mode:

This nail gun employs single sequential actuation mode:

 

■ Install the battery. Reactivate tool.

 

■ Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose 

of the tool onto the work surface.

 

■ Push the tool against the work surface to depress the 

workpiece contact.

 

■ Squeeze the trigger to drive a nail. 

 

■ Always remove your finger from the trigger when the 

desired number of nails has been driven.

NOTE:

 Hold trigger until drive cycle is complete.

DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT

When  the  magazine  has  0-5  nails  remaining,  the  dry-fire 

lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with nails.

LED WORK LIGHTS
See Figure 10.

 

■ Press LED work light grip switch while firmly holding 

tool during normal operation.

DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK

The LED work lights provide feedback to indicate whether 

the battery pack is charged sufficiently and/or if the tool is 

functioning properly.
If  work  lights  are  flashing,  install  fully  charged  battery.  If 

light  continue  to  flash,  see 

Troubleshooting

 section for 

more information.

REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 11.

 

 WARNING

Remove the battery pack before removing nails or 

clearing a jammed nail. Failure to do so could result in 

serious personal injury.
