ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers
are not placed on the switch trigger or the contact

Loading or unloading the nails
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fin-
gers are not placed on the trigger and the battery
cartridge is removed before loading nails.
CAUTION:
Do not abruptly slide the slide door of
the nailer loaded with nails. Accidentally dropping nails espe-
cially when working in high places may cause personal injuries.
CAUTION:
Load nails in the correct direction.
Loading in wrong direction may cause premature wear
and tear of the driver and damage of the other parts.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed nail strips. Use
nails specified in this manual. Using nails other than those
specified may cause nail jamming and breakage of the nailer.

Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before installing the nose adapter.
When firing nails on the material with easily-marred
surfaces, use the nose adapter. Put the adapter onto
the pointed end of the driver guide.
You can store the nose adapter in the holder at the back
end of the magazine to keep it from being lost.

Hook
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not, the hook may
come off from the tool and result in the personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use the hanging/mounting parts for
their intended purposes only. Using for unintended
purpose may cause accident or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt. Dropping the nailer, which is caused by
the hook accidentally coming out of place, may cause
unintentional firing and result in personal injuries.
► Fig.11
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.
