• 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. Q)
• 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. R)
• 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. S)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control
while allowing tool to recoil away
from work surface as fastener is
driven. In "Contact Actuation 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/CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER
FIG. Q
• When using the contact action
FIG. R
• When "contact" actuating the nailer, always keep tool in
SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the sequential action
FIG. S
• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce
risk of serious injury from accidental
actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Disconnect air supply
• Avoid contact with trigger during
• 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 injury. (Fig. U)

trigger, be careful of unin tentional
double fires resulting from tool
recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the contact trip is allowed to
accidentally re-contact the work surface.
(Fig. T)
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.
