TO INSTALL / REMOvE bATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 14.
To install battery pack:
 Place battery pack in the tool. Align raised rib inside tool
with groove on battery pack.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and battery pack is secured in tool before
beginning operation.
NOTE: Squeeze LED light grip switch to reactivate nailer.
To remove battery pack:
 Locate latches on battery pack and depress to release
battery pack from the tool.
NO-MAR PAD
See Figure 4, page 14.
The no-mar pad attached to the nose of the tool helps pre-
vent marring and denting when working with softer woods.
Remove the battery. Remove the pad by pulling it down and
away from the nose. To replace the pad, fit it into place over
the nose and push up to reseat.
On-board storage for the pad is located on the magazine of
the tool. An extra no-mar pad is provided in the on-board
storage area.
LOADING ThE TOOL WITh bRAD NAILS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 14.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in pos-
sible serious personal injury.
 Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, squeeze
magazine release button located at the rear of the maga-
zine and slide the magazine cover open.

and resting on bottom of the channel.
 Push the magazine cover closed until it securely snaps
into place.
 Make sure that the magazine is securely locked in place.
 Reinstall battery, and reactivate nailer by pressing the
worklight grip switch.

OPERATION

SETTING ThE AIR PRESSURE
See Figure 7, page 15.
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the nail and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
 Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.
 Turn air pressure dial clockwise to increase air pressure
or counterclockwise for decreased pressure.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the depth of drive adjustment on the tool.
NOTE:
Under some conditions, the unit may not deliver a
nail when the air pressure dial is turned to the MAxIMUM
pressure setting. The user may need to decrease the pres-
sure setting for desired operation
DEPTh Of DRIvE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8, page 15.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pres-
sure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece
to determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and
drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the depth
of drive adjustment on the tool. Harder materials and longer
nails will require more force to drive the nail.
 Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed.
 Turn the depth of drive adjustment left or right to change
the driving depth.
 Reinstall battery and reactivate the tool by pressing the
worklight grip switch.
 Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
NOTE: Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that
will meet your needs.
