Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before installing the nose adapter.
When firing nails on the material with easily-marred
surfaces, use the nose adapter. To attach the nose
adapter, put it onto the driver guide cover to the end.
You can store the nose adapter on the holder on the
back end of the magazine to keep it from being lost.

Hook
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt. Dropping the nailer, which is caused by
the hook accidentally coming out of place, may cause
unintentional firing and result in personal injuries.
► Fig.11
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

OPERATION
Testing the safety system
WARNING:
Make sure all safety systems are
in working order before operation. Failure to do
so may cause personal injuries.
► Fig.14: 1. Trigger-lock button 2. Switch trigger
3. Contact element 4. Magazine
Test safety systems for possible fault before operation
as follows.
1.
Unload nails from the tool and keep the magazine
opened.
2. Install the battery cartridge and release the trigger
lock.
3. Only pull the switch trigger without touching the
contact element against the material.
4. Only touch the contact element against the mate-
rial without pulling the switch trigger.
If the tool operates in the case of 3 and 4 above, the
safety systems are faulty. Stop using the tool immedi-
ately and ask your local service center.
Driving nails
WARNING:
Continue to place the contact
element firmly on the material until the nail is
driven completely. Unintentional firing may cause
personal injuries.
1. Release the trigger lock.
2. Place flat the contact element on the material.
3. Pull the switch trigger fully to drive a nail.
4.
To drive the next nail, release your finger from the
switch trigger once, and then repeat the step 2 and 3 above.
► Fig.15: 1. Switch trigger 2. Contact element
You can also drive the nails when dragging the tool to
the next area with the contact element pressed against
the material and pulling the switch trigger.
► Fig.16
If the head of the nail remains above the workpiece sur-
face, drive the nail while holding the nailer head firmly
against the workpiece.
► Fig.17
NOTE: If the head of the nail still remains above the
workpiece even you hold the nail head, the material
may not be suitable for the nailer. Continuing to use
the nailer on such material may result in a damage to
the driver of the nailer and/or nailer jamming.
Anti dry fire mechanism
WARNING:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before loading the nailer.
When the number of remaining nail strips in the maga-
zine is empty, the switch trigger can no longer be pulled.
At this time, insert a new nail strip in the magazine. The
switch trigger can be pulled again.
Checking remaining nails
You can check the amount of remaining nails through
the sight window.
The red indicator moves toward firing opening as the
amount of remaining nails becomes smaller.

Removing jammed nails
WARNING:
Always make sure that the trigger
is released, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed before removing jammed nails.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the jammed nails with
bare hands. The nail may jump out of the magazine
and cause an injury.
Remove hex bolts on the driver guide cover using the hex wrench.
Take the jammed nails from the nail guide groove with a
slotted screwdriver.
Secure the driver guide cover with hex bolts.
