Adjusting the depth of pin-nailing
WARNING:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is

Depth of pin-nailing can be adjusted on this pin nailer. To
adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster. The depth
of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is turned fully
in the A direction shown in the figure. It will become shal-
lower as the adjuster is turned in the B direction. Depth
can be adjusted 1.5 mm to the maximum.

Loading the pin nailer
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the battery
cartridge is removed before loading the pin nailer.
Unintentional firing may cause personal injuries and
property damage.
CAUTION:
Do not abruptly slide the magazine
of the pin nailer loaded with pin nails. Accidentally
dropping pin nails especially when working in high
places may cause personal injuries.
CAUTION:
Load pin nails in the correct direc-
tion. Loading in wrong direction may cause prema-
ture wear and tear of the driver and damage of the
other parts.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed connected
pin nails. Use pin nails specified in this manual.
Using pin nails other than those specified may cause
pin nail jamming and breakage of the pin nailer.
1. Remove the battery cartridge.
2. Press the locking lever and slide the magazine backward.
3. Align the tip of pin nails with the grooves at the
bottom of the magazine and push the whole part of pin

Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your

removed before installing the nose adapter.
When firing pin nails on the material with easily-marred sur-
faces, 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.
