TOOL OPERATION

4. Close tool by pulling the barrel back to

the semi-closed position. Never attempt

to close the tool by exerting force on the

front of the barrel. Never place your fingers

or hands over the muzzle end of the bar-

rel. The proper position of the hands and

fingers are shown in the illustration.

5. With the tool in the semi-closed position,

place it against the material to be fastened.

Hold the tool firmly at 90º with one hand and

completely depress, check to be sure the

groove on the barrel aligns with the marking

on the receiver.

6. Using a one pound hammer, strike the

firing pin button with a sharp, firm blow.

If the tool fails to fire, follow the misfire

procedure on page 5.

Note: It is important to strike the firing pin button

firmly and squarely. A light blow or one off-center

may not activate the load, however it will jar the

piston out of position which will cause a reduction in

power. (See Troubleshooting, page 10.)

7. To prepare for the next fastening, point the

tool in a safe direction, and slide the barrel

firmly forward. This action ejects the fired

load out of the tool and properly resets the

piston. The tool is now ready for the next

fastening.
