3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflec-
tion.
Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities,
objects inside the wood cause the
nail to change its path, resulting in
the nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in figure 5.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.

— If the nail drove into the wood far
enough, continue with your intended
operations.
— If the nail either went too far or not
far enough, then go to the adjusting
depth section on this page.
