nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through.
(Fig. P)
• 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.
(Fig. Q)
• 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.
(Fig. R)
• Keep face and body parts away from
back of the tool cap 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. In "Contact Actuation Mode" if
contact trip is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
• Choice of triggering method is
important. Check the manual for triggering options. Always select

the trigger method that is appropriate to the fastener application
and the training of the operator.
• When using the contact action
trigger, be careful of unin tentional
double fires resulting from tool
recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the contact trip is allowed to
accidentally re-contact the work surface.
(Fig. T)
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.
• When "contact" actuating the framing nailer, always
keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
• When using the sequential action
trigger, do not actuate the tool
unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
floors or other work areas. Fasteners
driven into live electrical wires, plumbing,
or other types of obstructions can result
in injury. (Fig. U)
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
