COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When using the tool in cold conditions the tool
will cycle slower than usual while driving the
first nails. The cycle rate will increase as the
tool warms up. Keep tool warm to avoid
reduced cycle rate.
Do not use a frozen tool.
Allow tool to thaw before
using. Moisture frozen in the tool may impede
internal components resulting in the risk of
injury and/or tool damage.
NAIL UNLOADING
Always disconnect battery
pack from tool before
removing nails from magazine.
This avoids
the risk of unintentional operation.
Do not disconnect battery
pack from the tool with
finger on trigger or work contact element
depressed.
The tool can fire when
reconnected to battery pack.
1. Disconnect battery pack.
2. Pull back follower, pressing bypass lever of
the follower to allow follower to bypass nails
and slowly allow follower to return to nose of
the tool, see figure 8.
3. Tilt the tool with the magazine vertical and
the nose facing up, this will allow the nails to
slide to the back of the magazine.
4. Once the nails have slid back to the hold
back spring, press the tab on the hold back
spring to push the spring back and allow the
nails to come out of the magazine, see
figure 9.
Do not allow the nail
follower to freely recoil.
Guide the follower by hand until it reaches
its full forward position.
Free recoil of the
follower could result in damage to the follower
and/or magazine or your fingers could become
pinched.
DEPTH OF DRIVE ADjUSTMENT
The depth with which nails are driven into the
work piece can be adjusted using the depth
adjustment on the housing.
Disconnect the battery pack
from tool before making
adjustments.
Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk or unintentional tool
operation.
1. Disconnect tool from battery pack.
2. Remove nails from tool as described in the
“Nail Unloading” section of this manual.
