OPERATION

WARNING:

Never load staples with the workpiece contact or

trigger activated. Doing so could result in possible

serious personal injury.

USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER

See Figures 6 - 7, page 17.

WARNING:

Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact

mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so

could result in possible serious injury.

This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger

set in the Single Sequential Actuation mode. The selectable

trigger can also be set for Contact Actuation mode.

SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE

Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate

fastener placement.

Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.

Rotate the selector to Position A.

Release the trigger lever pivot pin.

WARNING:

The tool will not function properly if the selector

is not securely seated in either position A or B.

Always assure the selector is seated properly

to avoid an unexpected fastener discharge and

possible serious personal injury.

Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose

of the tool onto the work surface.

Push the tool against the work surface to depress the

workpiece contact.

Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.

Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the

fastener is driven.

Always remove your finger from the trigger when the

desired number of nails has been driven.

CONTACT ACTUATION MODE

Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener place-

ment.

Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.

Rotate the selector to Position B.

Release the trigger lever pivot pin.

NOTE: The trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held

in position by locking tab to prevent movement during op-

eration.

Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.

Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the

work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive

a fastener.

Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the

fastener is driven.

Always remove your finger from the trigger when the

desired number of nails has been driven.

NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be

operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the

surface and squeezing the trigger.

WARNING:

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately

after driving a fastener. This is a normal function

of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil

by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction

to the recoil can result in a second fastener being

driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let

the tool do the work, and do not place second

hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time.

Failure to heed this warning can result in serious

personal injury.

DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT

When the magazine is almost empty of staples, the dry-fire

lockout feature will not allow continued operation.

To resume operation, reload the tool with staples.

SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE

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.

Drive a test nail with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi. Raise

or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that will

perform the job with consistent results.

It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air

pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,

use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.

DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 8, page 17.

The driving depth of the staple may be adjusted. It is advis-

able 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 staple. To achieve the desired depth, use the

drive depth adjustment on the tool.

Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving

depth.

Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
