Manuals can be obtained by contacting Customer Service (refer to the back page of this manual).

Noise values and/or vibration values (triax vector sum) according to EN60745-2-16:

The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration and/or noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm (relevant for vibration), organisation of work patterns.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

*Date code 201811475B or later
**Date code 201536 or later

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work Area Safety
   1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
   1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   3. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   4. DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
   1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   6. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   8. DO NOT let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power Tool Use and Care
   1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces DO NOT allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery Tool Use and Care
   1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
   5. DO NOT use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
   6. DO NOT expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
   7. Follow all charging instructions and DO NOT charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. Service
   1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
   2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Nailer Safety Warnings

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
• DO NOT point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge a fastener causing an injury.
• DO NOT actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
• DO NOT use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

Additional Nailer Safety Warnings

When using any nailer, all safety precautions, as outlined below, should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all instructions before operating the tool.

NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool.

if the tool has been dropped or you suspect tool damage perform tool operation check as defined in the Mode selection section of the manual. If it doesn't perform according to the manual, stop using the tool and have it serviced at an authorised DeWALT service centre.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where driven fastners may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
• Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in use. Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool to another operator. DO NOT carry tool to another work area in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected. DO NOT make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while battery is in place.
• DO NOT remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip to become inoperable. DO NOT tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on position. DO NOT remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. DO NOT operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Maintenance.
• DO NOT alter or modify the tool in any way.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• DO NOT point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement.
• DO NOT carry the tool from place to place holding the trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.
• DO NOT overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. DO NOT discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. DO NOT use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow an unexpected path and cause injury.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent injury from inadvertent release of the pusher.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.
• DO NOT drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.
• DO NOT drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
• DO NOT use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark.
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be driven.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering options.

Sequential/Bump Selector Switch
Sequential Action

• When using the tool in sequential mode, DO NOT actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.

Bump Action

• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface.
• When "bump" actuating the finish nailer, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
• To Avoid Double Fires:
  • DO NOT engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.
  • Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
  • Use tool in sequential mode.
• DO NOT drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners. Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
• Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS;
  • Remove battery pack.
  • Engage trigger lock.
  • Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• DO NOT drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Mode Selection
The finish nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation or sequential actuation. Before operating this tool, look at the selector switch to determine the actuation mode. Read all instructions before selecting actuation mode.

Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving nails to avoid accidental fastener discharge. NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool will drive a nail if contact trip is bumped while trigger is depressed.

Sequential Action (Fig. D)
Use sequential actuation mode for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate placement and depth control is desired. The sequential actuation mode provides the maximum delivery of power for driving the longest nails.

To operate the nailer in sequential actuation mode:

1. Slide the selector switch to expose the single nail icon .
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor will start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.

NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.

Bump Action (Fig. D)
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces and typically most effective for applications that require driving shorter nails.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two methods of tool operation are available: place actuation and bump actuation.
Slide the selector switch to expose the triple nail icon .

To operate the tool using the place actuation method

A nail will be driven each time the trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.

1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.

To operate the tool using the bump actuation method:

1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool will drive a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple nails in sequence.
   
   DO NOT keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the locked position when the tool is not in use.
   
   When the tool's motor is running, pulling the trigger or depressing the contact trip will cause a nail to be driven.
