5. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during
this operation.
6. Grasp muzzle cap and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel
assembly back into tool to the closed position. This advances the power load
strip and resets the piston for the next fastening.
WARNING: Do not depress barrel assembly past the closed position
when loading new power fastener. Live power load is in firing position.
7. Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for
30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while
holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly
against the work surface and pull the trigger. If the tool still fails to fire, hold
the tool firmly against the work surface for another 30 seconds before
advancing the power load strip. Use remaining loads in strip. Discard power
load strip into water or oil.
