Selecting the operation mode
►
1. Actuation mode selector
Single sequential actuation mode:
You can drive one nail by one sequential operation.
Select this mode when driving a nail carefully and
accurately.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the position.
Contact actuation mode:
You can drive nails repetitively by placing the contact
element with the trigger held.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the position.
Single sequential actuation
CAUTION:
Do not place the contact element
against the workpiece with excessive force. Also,
pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds
after nailing.
Even in the "Single sequential actuation" mode,
halfpulled trigger causes an unexpected nailing, when
the contact element re-contacts the workpiece.
Place the contact element against the workpiece and
pull the trigger fully.
After nailing, release the contact element, and then
release the trigger.
Contact actuation
Anti dry fire mechanism
This tool is equipped with an anti dry fire mechanism.
When there are a few nails remaining in the magazine,
the contact arm will be locked in the undepressed
position to prevent the tool from being activated. When
it is activated, load more nails to resume operation.
Removing jammed nails
CAUTION:
Always release the trigger and
disconnect the hose before removing jammed
nails.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed nails or nail
strip. Failure to do so causes poor nail feeding.
When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows: Insert
a small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it
with a hammer to retract the driver.
