7.1 Loading the single-fastener tool
1. Insert the fastener (head first) until the washer is held
in the tool.
2. Load the cartridge strip (narrow end first) by insert-
ing it into the bottom of the tool grip until flush. If the
strip has been partly used, pull it through until a live
cartridge is in the chamber. (The last visible number
on the back of the cartridge strip indicates which car-
en
tridge is next to be fired.)

7.2 Adjusting the driving power
Select a cartridge power level and power setting to suit

of previous experience, always begin with the lowest
power.

2. Turn the power regulation wheel to 1.
3. Drive a nail.
4. If the fastener doesn't penetrate deeply enough,
increase the driving power by turning the power reg-
ulation wheel. Use a more powerful cartridge if nec-
essary.
