• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other
fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle.
Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed
fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. G)
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate
work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep hands and body out of potential
harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the material. The
contact trip may cause the work material to shift
unexpectedly. (Fig. H)
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that
could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into
another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. I)
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the
tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden
recoil can result in impact to the body, especially
when nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. J)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener
is driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to
recontact work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
manual for triggering options.
BUMP/SEQUENTIAL SELECTOR SWITCH
Sequential Action
(Fig. K)
• When using the tool in sequential action, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
Bump Action
(Fig. L)
• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact
FIG. I
trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work
surface.
TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
• Do not engage the tool against the work
surface with a strong force.
• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
FIG. J
• When "bump" actuating the brad nailer, always
keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool
can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners.
Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails
may result. (Fig. M)
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
protruding nail may cause injury.
FIG. K
• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious
injury from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage contact trip lock-off (Fig. N).
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
FIG. L
injury. (Fig. O)
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
