OPERATION
USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See Figures 7 - 9, page 14.
WARNING:
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact
mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so
could result in possible serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with the actuation mode
selector set in the Single Sequential Actuation mode.
The actuation mode selector can also be set for Contact
Actuation mode.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate nail
placement.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove nails
from the tool.
 Depress the actuation mode button.
 Rotate the actuation mode selector to position ( ).
 Release the actuation mode button.
NOTE: The actuation mode selector is spring loaded and
held in position by locking tab to prevent movement during
operation.
WARNING:
The tool will not function properly if the selector
is not securely seated in either position ( ) or
( ). Always make sure the selector is seated
properly to avoid an unexpected nail discharge
and possible serious personal injury.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply and reload the tool
with nails.
 Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the
workpiece contact onto the work surface.
 Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
 Squeeze the trigger to drive a nail.
 Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
nail is driven.
 Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of nails has been driven.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive nail placement.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove nails
from the tool.
 Depress the actuation mode button.
 Rotate the actuation mode selector to Position (
 Release the actuation mode button.
NOTE: The actuation mode selector is spring loaded and
held in position by locking tab to prevent movement during
operation.
 Reconnect the tool to the air supply and reload the tool
with nails.
 Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
 Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the
work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive
a nail.
 Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
nail is driven.
 Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of nails 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.
WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a nail. This is a normal function of
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by
holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to
the recoil can result in a second nail being driven
from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool
do the work, and do not place second hand on top
of tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
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.
Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi. Raise
or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will
perform the job with consistent results.
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.
