E N G L I S H
• Increase the air pressure to the normal operating
level.
• Use the tool in the normal manner.
Hot weather operation
The tool should operate normally. Avoid the heat of
direct sunlight to avoid damage to the bumpers,
o-rings, and other rubber parts.
Actuating the tool (fig. A)
The tool can be operated using one of two modes.
The trigger installed on the tool determines the
mode of actuation.
Sequential action mode
The sequential action mode is used for intermittent
fastening when very careful and accurate placement
is desired.
• Fit the grey trigger as described above.
• Release the trigger lock (2).
• Push the contact trip (4) against the work surface.
• Pull the trigger (1) to actuate the tool.
Each trigger pull with the contact trip pushed
against the work surface will drive one fastener.
Bump action mode
The bump action mode is used for rapid fastening
on flat, stationary surfaces.
• Fit the black trigger as described above.
• Release the trigger lock (2).
• To drive a single fastener: Operate the tool as
described for sequential action.
• To drive several fasteners: Pull the trigger (1) first,
and then push the contact trip (4) repeatedly
against the work surface.
Do not keep the trigger depressed when
the tool is not in use. Keep the trigger
lock engaged to prevent accidental
actuation when the tool is not in use.
Clearing a jammed fastener (fig. E)
If a fastener becomes jammed in the nosepiece,
follow these instructions to remove the fastener:
• Disconnect the airline from the tool.
• Engage the trigger lock (2).
• Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
• Flip up the front latch (13) and move the bracket (14)
out of the way so that barrel (15) can be opened.

• Remove the bent fastener, using pliers if necessary.
• If the driving blade is in the down position, push
the driving blade upward using a screwdriver.
• Close the barrel (15) and put the bracket (14)
back in position.
• Press the front latch (13) into the locked position.
• Feed the fasteners into the nose piece as
described under „Loading the tool".
If fasteners become jammed in the
nosepiece frequently, have the tool
serviced by an authorised D
service centre.
