Loading The Tool - DeWalt DC608-XE Instruction Manual

5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies.
Do not use tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool
that has the contact trip restrained in the actuated position.
6. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
7. Insert fully charged battery pack.
Using the Contact Trip Lock-off (Fig. 8, 9)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT keep trigger
depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the contact trip lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig. 8)
when the tool is not in use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, lock off trigger, disconnect
battery pack from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments.
Serious personal injury may result.
Each D WALT nailer is equipped with a contact trip lock-off
E
(B) which when pulled downward with the lock symbol
showing in Figure 8, prevents the tool from firing a nail.
When the contact trip lock-off is oriented as shown in
Figure 9, the tool will be fully operational. The contact trip
lock-off should always be locked off (Fig. 8) whenever any
adjustments are made or when tool is not in immediate
use.
NOTE: Tools equipped with selective actuation, when in bump
fire mode will allow the motor to start upon trigger pull. This is
normal operation. The contact trip lock-off constrains the
contact trip from discharging a nail.
