USING THE TRIGGER mODE SElECTOR
See figures 7 - 8.
WARNING!
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism
during operation of the tool. Doing so could result in possible
serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with the trigger mode
selector set in the Single Sequential Actuation mode. The
trigger mode selector can also be set for Contact Actuation
mode.
SINGlE SEqUENTIAl ACTUATION mODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate
fastener placement.
■ Remove the battery pack from the tool.
■ Slide the trigger mode selector all the way to the right.
■ Reinstall the battery pack.
■ Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose of
the tool onto the work surface.
■ Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
■ Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
■ Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
NOTE: The trigger must be depressed within 3 seconds of
placing the nose of the tool against the workpiece. If depressing
the trigger does not drive a fastener, lift the tool away from the
workpiece, then replace and try driving the fastener again.
CONTACT ACTUATION mODE
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener
placement.
■ Remove the battery pack from the tool.
■ Slide the trigger mode selector all the way to the left.
■ Reinstall the battery pack.
■ Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
■ Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the
work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive
a fastener.
■ Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven.
NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be
operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the
surface and squeezing the trigger. The nose of the tool must be
pressed against the workpiece within 3 seconds of depressing
the trigger. If pressing the nose to the workpiece does not drive
a fastener, release the trigger, depress the trigger again, then
try driving the fastener again.
WARNING!
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving
a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt
to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work.
Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do
the work, and do not place second hand on top of tool at any
time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
When used in the contact actuation mode do not carry the
tool with the trigger depressed as this will cause a fastener to
discharge if the workpiece contact accidentally bumps against
an object. Failure to observe this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
