NOTE:
If the head of the pin nail still remains above
the workpiece even you hold the pin nail head,
the material may not be suitable for the pin nailer.
Continuing to use the pin nailer on such material may
result in a damage to the driver of the pin nailer and/
or pin nailer jamming.
Anti dry fire mechanism
WARNING:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before loading the pin nailer.
When the number of remaining pin nails in the maga
-
zine are 0 - 3 pieces, the switch trigger can no longer be
pulled. At this time, insert a new strip of pin nails in the
magazine and the switch trigger can be pulled again.
NOTE:
When firing a different length of pin nails
shortly after the anti-dry firing device has actuated,
insert a new strip of pin nails into the magazine and
fire away all the prior pin nails that have remained on
junk material.
Checking remaining pin nails
You can check the amount of remaining pin nails
through the sight window.
The red indicator moves toward fastening opening with
the amount of remaining pin nails become smaller.
