Using the trigger lock
CAUTION:
• When not in use or after operating the tool, always lock
the trigger with the trigger lock. (Fig. 5)
The tool has trigger lock to avoid accidents by an
unintentional start. The trigger lock makes the trigger
unmovable and let the tool cause no firing.
To lock the trigger, set the lock button in the "LOCK"
position.
Before nailing, set the lock button in the "FREE" position.
When not in use, always set it in the "LOCK" position and
remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Nailing mode selection (Fig. 6)
The tool has two different nailing modes. Select the
desired nailing by the mode selecting button. For more
detail, see the section "OPERATION".
Intermittent nailing (sequential mode)
This mode suits for driving a nail carefully and accurately.
Continuous/intermittent nailing (continuous mode)
When the tool is set to this mode, you can choose either
continuous or intermittent nailing by sequences of the
trigger operation.
Adjusting the nailing depth
WARNING:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed. (Fig. 7)
To get shallower depth, turn the adjuster to A direction as
shown in the figure. To get deeper depth, turn the adjuster
to B direction.
Do not turn the adjuster too much, or the adjuster may get
stuck.
Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly. (Fig. 8)
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger or place the contact
element against the workpiece. Release the trigger or
contact element to turn it off.
The lamp goes out 10 seconds after releasing the trigger
or contact element from the workpiece.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
• Even in the lamp lights up when the battery power
residual gets small, the nailer may not fire nails. In this
case, charge the battery cartridge.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed before carrying out any work on the nailer.

Loading or unloading the nails
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger and the battery cartridge is removed before
loading nails.
• Do not abruptly slide the slide door of the nailer loaded
with nails. Accidentally dropping nails especially when
working in high places may cause personal injuries.
• Load nails in the correct direction. Loading in wrong
direction may cause premature wear and tear of the
driver and damage of the other parts.
• Do not use deformed connected nails. Use nails
specified in this manual. Using nails other than those
specified may cause nail jamming and breakage of the
nailer.
Press the lock lever and open the slide door of the
magazine. (Fig. 9)
Set the nail strip so that the nail tips touch the bottom of
the magazine slit and slide the nail strip toward the firing
opening.
Return the slide door to the original position until the lock
lever locks it.
To remove the nails, press the lock lever and slide the
slide door. Take out nails from the magazine slit. (Fig. 10)
Nose adapter
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed before installing the nose adapter. (Fig. 11)
When firing nails on the material to be fastened with
easily-marred surfaces, use the nose adapter. To install
the nose adapter, place it over the center plate so that the
protrusion inside the nose adapter fits to the slit in the
driver guide cover.
When not in use, store the nose adapter in the holder at
the back end of the slide door to keep it from being lost.
Total two nose adapters can be stored.
Hook
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed before using the hook.
• 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 misfiring and personal injuries.
(Fig. 12)
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. (Fig. 13)
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 14)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
