English
body of the tool as a hammer. Discharged fasteners
may follow unexpected path and cause injury.
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure
the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not
to lose footing when working in elevated environments
such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail
may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain
to reduce risk of injury.
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with
the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong
recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of the pusher
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer
against the material. The contact trip may cause the work
material to shift unexpectedly.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can
result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into
hard or dense material.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
manual for triggering options.
• When actuating the nailer, always keep tool in
control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in
misdirected discharge of a fastener.
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners.
Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may
result.
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
protruding nail may cause injury.
Bump/Sequential Selector Switch
Sequential Action
• When using the tool in sequential action, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
Bump Action
When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
•
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact
4
trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work
surface.
• When bump actuating the framing nailer, always
keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool
can result in misdirected discharge of a nail.
To Avoid Double Fires:
• Do not engage the tool against the work surface
with a strong force.
Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
•
• Use sequential action trigger.
depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury
•
from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS:
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage trigger lock-off.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury.
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
•
protruding nail may cause injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
