• Fit the black trigger as described above..
• To drive a single nail: Operate the tool as
described for sequential action.
• To drive several nails: Pull the trigger first, and
then push the contact trip repeatedly against the
work surface.
Do not keep the trigger depressed when
the tool is not in use. Keep the trigger
lock-off switch rotated to the right to
prevent accidental actuation when the
tool is not in use.
Dry fire lockout
To protect the tool from damage, these tools are
equipped with a dry fire lockout. The dry fire lockout
prevents the tool from actuating when the magazine
is nearly empty. When approximately 4 or 5 nails
remain in the magazine and the tool ceases to
operate, follow the loading instructions to load sticks
of collated nails. See "Loading the tool".
Clearing a jammed nail (fig. E)
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece,
follow these instructions to remove the nail:
• Disconnect the airline from the tool.
• Lock the trigger with the trigger lock-off switch.
• Remove all nails from the magazine.
• Flip up the cam latch (12).
• Push and hold the cam latch firmly inward as
shown by the arrow (13) until the narrow portion
of the latch pin (14) is exposed.
• At the same time, slide the magazine (4) rearward
as shown by the arrow (15) to expose the bent
nail.
• Remove the bent nail, using pliers if necessary.
• If the driver blade is in the down position, push
the driver blade upward using a screwdriver.
• If the nail cannot be removed with the magazine
retracted to the first stop, remove the magazine
from the tool entirely. This can be accomplished
by holding the cam latch (12) firmly inward while
pulling the magazine rearward until it separates
from the tool.
• To reattach the magazine, insert the latch pin (14)
into the magazine bracket, align the front end of
the magazine with the nosepiece pegs (16), push
inward on the cam latch (12) and slide the
magazine onto the tool.
• Slide the magazine forward to the fully closed
position.
• Press the cam latch (12) into the locked position.
• Connect the air hose to the fitting on the tool.
• Load nails into the magazine.
See "Loading the tool".
If nails become jammed in the nosepiece
frequently, have the tool serviced by an
authorised D WALT service centre.

Depth setting (fig. F)
Always disconnect the tool from the air
supply before adjusting the depth setting.
The depth that the nails are driven can be adjusted
using the depth adjustment on the nosepiece of
the tool.
• To reduce the depth, press the adjustment
button (17) and slide the contact trip (3) downward.
• To increase the depth, press the adjustment
button (17) and slide the contact trip (3) upward.
Belt/rafter hook
These tools have an integrated belt/rafter hook.

and can be folded out of the way when not in use.
To remove the belt/rafter hook:
• Remove the air hose from the fitting on the tool.
• Use pliers or a wrench to remove the nut for the
belt/rafter hook from the end cap of the tool.
• Remove the belt/rafter hook, washer and detent
spring.
