Unloading pin nailer
CAUTION:
When removing pin nails, make sure that your fingers are
•
not placed on the trigger or the lever and the battery
cartridge is removed from the pin nailer. Misfiring may
cause personal injuries and property damage.
Remove the battery cartridge.
Press the locking lever and slide the magazine.
Take out pin nails from the magazine slit.

CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger or the lever and the battery cartridge
is removed before installing the nose adapter.
Fig.10
When firing pin nails on the material to be fastened with
easily-marred surfaces, use the nose adapter. To install
the nose adapter, place it over the driver guide cover so
that the protrusion inside the nose adapter fits to the slit
in the driver guide cover.
When not in use, store the nose adapter in the holder at
the back end of the magazine to keep it from being lost.
Hook
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger or the lever and the battery cartridge
is removed before using the hook.
Fig.11
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the waist belt. Dropping
•
the pin nailer, which is caused by the hook
accidentally coming out of place, may cause
misfiring and personal injuries.
Fig.12
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.13
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

OPERATION

Driving pin nails
WARNING:
Before pulling the trigger, always make sure that
•
the opening that pin-nails are fired contacts
material to be fastened. Just pulling the trigger fires
pin nails. Misfiring may cause personal injuries.
Fig.14
Place flat the opening of the tool that pin-nails are fired
on the material to be fastened and hold the tool firmly
against the material. Then pull the lever and then pull the
trigger fully to drive the pin nail. The grip is shaped so
that the tool head can be held down securely with index
finger and thumb. After driving a pin-nail, be sure to
release the trigger fully.
Fig.15
When the head of driven pin-nail remains above the
surface of the material, drive the pin-nail while holding
the pin nailer head firmly.
NOTE:
When the trigger is pulled after a quick trigger
•
action, the nailer may do nothing but operates
momentarily and may not fire pin nails. This is not
a trouble. At this time, release the trigger once, pull
it again and the pin nails can be fired.
Using the pin nailer continuously with the head of
•
fired pin nails remaining above the surface of
material to be fastened may cause damage to the
driver of the pin nailer and nailer jamming etc.
Removing jammed pin nails
WARNING:
Always make sure that the lever is released and
•
the battery cartridge is removed before removing
jammed nails.
Fig.16
Remove the battery cartridge from the pin nailer.
Take out pin nails that remain inside the magazine.
Loosen bolt (A) and bolt (B) by turning them
approximately two turns using the hex wrench provided
with the pin nailer.
Remove driver guide cover by sliding it.
Remove stuck pin nails, debris, adhesives and
woodchips etc. from the passage for pin nails.
Check the driver guide cover for stuck pin nails or other
foreign matters and then secure it with these two bolts.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
