DeWalt XR Li-ION DCN690-XE Instruction Manual page 14

The framing nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation or sequential
actuation. In order to disable bump actuation mode, have the tool serviced by an
authorized D WALT service center. Before operating this tool, look at the selector
E
switch to determine the actuation mode. Read all instructions before selecting
actuation mode.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving nails to avoid
accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool will fire a
nail if contact trip is bumped while trigger is depressed.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION (FIG. 5)
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate
placement and depth control is desired. It also offers the maximum delivery of power
for driving the longest nails.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Slide the selector switch (I) to the left, as shown in
Figure 5.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface
(motor will start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a trigger pull for each
nail followed by a release of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.
BUMP ACTION (FIG. 6)
The bump action mode is used for rapid nailing on flat,
stationary surfaces and typically most effective for
application driving shorter nails.
When using bump action, two methods are available: place
actuation and bump actuation.
Slide the selector switch (I) to the right, shown in Figure 6.
To operate the tool using the place actuation method:
WARNING: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the contact
trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate the tool using the bump actuation method:
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is
depressed, the tool will fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This
allows the user to drive multiple nails in sequence.
WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger
lock-off in the locked position when the tool is not in use.
DRY FIRE LOCK OUT
FIG. 5
The nailer is equipped with a dry fire lock out which restricts the tool from actuating
when the magazine is nearly empty. When approximately 7 to 9 nails remain in the
magazine, the tool dry fire lock actuates. Refer to Loading the Tool to reload a stick of
collated nails.
NOTE: If heavy force is placed on the tool it is possible to override the lock out. This
protects the tool from potential damage if dropped.
SPEED SELECTION (FIG. 1, 7)
(DCN692 ONLY)
This nailer is equipped with a dual speed selection
switch (M) located on the foot.
• For shorter nails, select speed 1 by setting the
switch to the left most position.
FIG. 6
• For longer nails and more rigorous applications,
select speed 2 by setting the switch to the right
most position.
In the event that nails are not driving to depth in speed
setting 1, you may have to switch to speed setting 2 for additional driving power.
NOTICE: Firing nails under 3-inches in length using Speed Setting 2 will cause
excessive wear to your tool and may result in early failures.
