Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 3)
NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery
pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack (L) into the tool handle,
align the battery pack with the rails inside the
tool's handle and slide it into the handle until
the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and
ensure that it does not disengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press
the release button (N) and firmly pull the battery
pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the
charger as described in the charger section of
this manual.
NOTICE: Do not store tool with battery pack installed. To prevent damage to the pack and to ensure
best battery life, store battery packs out of the tool or charger in a cool, dry location.
FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 4)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of
E
three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the
battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (O). A
combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the
level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the
usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need
to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the
battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please call 1-800-4-D

WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
hearing protection when operating tool.
The D WALT cordless nailers are assembled in accordance with the ANSI Standard SNT-101-2002.
E
The framing nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation or sequential actuation. If you would
like to have the bump actuation mode disabled, have the tool serviced by an authorized D
service center. Before operating this tool, look at the selector switch to determine the actuation
mode. Read all instructions before selecting actuation mode.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving nails to avoid accidental firing.
NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool will fire a nail if contact trip is bumped
while trigger is depressed.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION (FIG. 5)
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate
placement and depth control is desired. The sequential actuation mode provides
the maximum delivery of power for driving the longest nails.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Slide the selector switch to the left, as shown in Figure 5.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor will start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.

NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by
a release of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.
BUMP ACTION (FIG. 6)
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces and typically
most effective for applications that require driving shorter nails.
When using bump action, two methods are available: place actuation and
bump actuation.
Slide the selector switch to the right, as shown in Figure 6.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:
WARNING: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the
contact trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool will
fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple nails in
sequence.
WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the
locked position when the tool is not in use.
WARNING: When the tool's motor is running, the next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing
the contact trip, will cause a nail to fire.
DRY FIRE LOCK OUT
The nailer is equipped with a dry fire lockout which prevents the tool from actuating when the
magazine in nearly empty. When approximately 7 to 9 nails remain in the magazine, the tool ceases
to operate. Refer to Loading the Tool to reload a stick of collated nails.

Speed Selection (Fig. 1, 7)
(DCN692 ONLY)
This nailer is equipped with a dual speed selection switch (M) located on the
foot.
• For shorter nails, select speed 1 by setting the switch to the left most
position.
• For longer nails and more rigorous applications, select speed 2 by
WALT
E
setting the switch to the right most position.
In the event that nails are not driving to depth in speed setting 1, you may
have to switch to speed setting 2 for additional driving power.
NOTICE: Firing nails under 3-inches in length using Speed Setting 2
will cause excessive wear to your tool and may result in early failures.
