See below reference chart to select the right color cartridge based on steel strength and steel thickness by nail type. The num-
ber within the box provides a quick reference for the tool power level. However, due to variability in base steel, check the nail
stand-off by performing test fastenings and adjust the power level accordingly.
Select the right cartridge
For the X-ENP2K-20 nail you need to use the 6.8/18 M10
cartridge.
