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 pin nails on the material with easily-marred
surfaces, use the nose adapter. To install the nose
adapter, place it over the driver guide cover so that the
protrusion inside the nose adapter fits to the dent in the
driver guide cover.
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 pin nailer, which is caused
by the hook accidentally coming out of place, may
cause unintentional firing and result in personal
injuries.
► Fig.10
WARNING:
Use the hanging/mounting parts
for their intended purposes only, e.g., hanging the
tool on a tool belt between jobs or work intervals.
WARNING:
Be careful not to overload the
hook as too much force or irregular overburden
may cause damages to the tool resulting in per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not, the hook
may come off from the tool and result in the personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hang the tool
securely before releasing your hold. Insufficient
or unbalanced hooking may cause falling off and you
may be injured.
NOTE: When using the tool with battery BL1050B,
the optional hook dedicated for BL1050B is needed.
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.

Hex wrench storage
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.13: 1. Trigger-lock button 2. Switch trigger
3. Contact element 4. Magazine
Test safety systems for possible fault before operation
as follows.
1. Unload pin nails from the tool and keep the maga-
zine 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 pin nails
WARNING:
Continue to place the contact
element firmly on the material until the pin 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 pin nail.
4. To drive the next pin nail, release your finger from
the switch trigger once, and then repeat the step 2 and
3 above.
► Fig.14: 1. Switch trigger 2. Contact element
You can also drive the pin nails when dragging the
tool to the next area with the contact element pressed
against the material and pulling the switch trigger.
► Fig.15
If the head of the pin nail remains above the workpiece
surface, drive the pin nail while holding the pin nailer
head firmly against the workpiece.
