hammer.
Take precautions to ensure the safety of persons in
the vicinity during operation.
Squeeze the trigger when drive a nail, otherwise the
piston can not return correctly.
Make sure the nailing depth when the temperature is
above 40°C or below 0°C.
Hold the Nailer at right angles to the workpiece,
otherwise nails may ricochet and cause injury.
1. Nailing procedures
This power tool is equipped with a FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
(1) Intermittent nailing
Hold the Nailer at right angles to the workpiece and
depress the nail outlet onto the desired point; then pull
the trigger to drive a nail in a single shot (See Fig. 15).
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again
until the trigger is released and pressed again.
(2) Push lever
When depressing the nail outlet, be sure to fully lift
the push lever (See Fig. 15) to release the safety lock.
Thus, nails cannot be driven without releasing the
safety lock even though the trigger is pulled.
The machine employs a preventive mechanism for
unloaded operation.
The machine enters a state where the push lever
cannot be pushed up. This takes place when the
magazine is not loaded with nails or when the
remaining number of nails becomes less than 3.
CAUTION
Do not drive a nail on another nail.
Use caution not to throw the push lever tip onto
workpiece when the push lever cannot be pushed up.
NOTE
Under low temperature conditions, the tool
sometimes does not operate correctly. Always operate
the tool at the appropriate ambient temperature.
2. Clearing a jam
WARNING
Handle with care to avoid burning yourself, since the
nails and nose may become very hot.
If nails are jammed in firing head, remove it, and adjust
the nailing in the following order.
