are between 45°F (7.2°C) and 120°F (49°C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Finish Nailer requires cooling of the
motor assembly to operate properly. The fan normally
provides the necessary air flow to permit continuous
operation. Whenever the Cordless Finish Nailer is idle
for extended periods, keep the fuel and tool out of direct
sunlight and in surroundings where temperatures will
not exceed 120°F (49°C). After extended periods of
continuous use, it may be necessary to cool the motor
by setting tool aside for 10-15 minutes or until the tool
operates normally. An overheated tool may not drive
nails completely or may operate erratically.

STEP 2: Next, while applying pressure to the release lever,
pull the follower toward the rear of the magazine until the
follower passes the last strip of fasteners. Release the lever
on the follower and let the follower push the nails forward
into the nose of the tool.
In the illustration above, you will see an indicator arrow
on the side of the follower. When the indicator arrow is in
the reload area, marked on the side of the magazine, you
may insert a new strip of nails. When the follower arrow
reaches the lockout area the tool automatically locks the
tool to prevent the tool from operating. To unlock the tool,
simply reload another strip of nails.
