 Make sure that the magazine is securely locked in place.
 Reinstall battery, and reactivate nailer by pressing the
LED worklight grip switch.
WARNING:
Use only the nails recommended for use with this
tool. The use of any other nails can result in tool
malfunction, leading to serious injuries.
WARNING:
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or
trigger activated. Doing so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
SETTING THE DRIVE POWER
See Figure 6, page 14.
The amount of drive power 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.
 Remove battery pack from the tool.
 Turn power adjustment dial clockwise to increase drive
power or counterclockwise for decreased power.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with drive
power adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the depth of drive adjustment.
NOTE: Under some conditions, the unit may not deliver
a nail when the power adjustment dial is turned to the
maximum power setting. The user may need to decrease
the power setting for a couple of cycles before returning
to the maximum power setting and attempting the desired
operation.
DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 7, page 14.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond drive
power. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece
to determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the drive power and
drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the depth
of drive adjustment on the tool. Harder materials and longer
nails will require more force to drive the nail.
 Remove battery pack from the tool.
 Turn the depth of drive adjustment left or right to change
the driving depth.
 Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the
LED worklight grip switch.
 Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
NOTE: Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that
will meet your needs.
USING THE MODE SELECTOR SWITCH
See Figures 8 - 10, page 14.
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 the mode selector
switch set in the Single Sequential Actuation mode. The
mode selector switch can also be set for Contact Actuation
mode.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate nail
placement.
 Remove battery pack from the tool.
 Slide the selector to position ( ).
WARNING:
The nailer will not function properly if the selector
is not securely seated in either position ( ) or
( ). Always assure the selector is seated properly
to avoid an unexpected nail discharge and possible
serious personal injury.
 Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the
worklight grip switch.
 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 nail.
NOTE: Hold trigger until drive cycle is complete. If depressing
the trigger does not drive a nail, release the trigger and lift the
tool away from the workpiece, then replace and try driving
the nail again.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive nail placement.
 Remove battery pack from the tool.
 Slide the selector to position (
 Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the
worklight grip switch.
 Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
