Test safety systems as follows for possible fault before operation.
1. Unload pin nails from the tool and keep the maga-
zine opened.
2.
Install the battery cartridge and release the trigger lock.
3.
Pull the switch trigger without touching the contact
element against the material.
4. Touch the contact element against the material
without pulling the switch trigger.
If the tool operates in the case of 3 or 4 above, the
safety systems are faulty. Stop using the tool immedi-
ately and ask your local service center.
Driving pin nails
WARNING:
Do not use this pin nailer for fas-
tening electrical cables. It is not designed for elec-
tric cable installation and may damage the insulation
of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or
fire hazards.
WARNING:
Continue to place the contact
element firmly on the material until the pin nail is
driven completely. Unintentional firing may cause
personal injuries.
CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly during operation.
CAUTION:
Do not use the tool beyond the
continuous operating time allowed. It otherwise may
cause damages to the tool resulting in personal injury.
NOTICE:
The tool will not restart fastening
after five seconds no switch operation while the
contact element is placed on the workpiece. Pull
the contact element free from the workpiece and
reposition it in place to restart fastening.
1. Release the trigger lock.
2. Place flat the contact element on the material.
3. Pull the switch trigger fully to drive a pin nail.
4. To drive the next nail, release your finger from the
switch trigger once, and then repeat the step 2 and 3 above.
► Fig.18: 1. Switch trigger 2. Contact element
You can also drive the pin nails when dragging the
tool to the next area with the contact element pressed
against the material and pulling the switch trigger.
► Fig.19
If the head of the pin nail remains above the workpiece
surface, drive the pin nail while holding the pin nailer
head firmly against the workpiece.
► Fig.20
NOTE: If the head of the pin nail still remains above
the workpiece even you hold the pin nailer head,
the material may not be suitable for the pin nailer.
Continuing to use the pin nailer on such material may
result in a damage to the driver of the pin nailer and/
or pin nailer jamming.
Anti dry fire mechanism
WARNING:
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before loading the pin nails.
When the numbers of remaining pin nails in the mag-
azine are between 0 - 3 pieces, the switch trigger can
no longer be pulled. At this time, insert a new strip of
pin nails in the magazine and the switch trigger can be
pulled again.
NOTE: When firing a different length of pin nails
shortly after the anti dry fire mechanism has worked,
insert a new strip of pin nails into the magazine and
fire away all the prior pin nails that have remained on
junk material.
Checking remaining pin nails
You can check the amount of remaining pin nails
through the sight window.
The red indicator moves towards the firing opening as
the amount of remaining nails becomes smaller.
