• Load fasteners as directed in the section called Loading the fasteners.
• Hold the body of the tool and press the nose to the work surface, be sure the tool is straight and then gently depress the trigger to drive the fastener.
• Lift the tool off the work surface.
Firing modes (Fig. E)
The tool has two driving modes:
Sequential fire:
• Choose the correct mode before firing by rotating the firing mode selector switch.
• Put the nose on the working surface, lightly push the tool toward the working surface until the safety contact nose is depressed, then, depress the trigger to
drive the fasteners.
• Whilst maintaining contact with the working surface, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger is depressed.
Contact trip (Bump fire):
• Choose the correct mode before firing by rotating the firing mode selector switch.
• Depress the trigger and whilst holding the trigger squeezed, repeatedly impact the nose on the work surface.
• The tool will drive one fastener when the safety contact nose is impacted once.
NOTE: The air deflector (Fig. F) is directional and can be rotated through 360°.
Removing a jammed fastener
NOTE: You must remove any jammed fasteners before using the tool any further. If you continue to try to fire a fastener while the tool is jammed, you could
cause damage to the mechanism.
• Disconnect the tool from the compressed air system.
• Remove any unused fasteners from the magazine channel; this should clear the jammed fastener(s).
• If a fastener is jammed in the nose, place the tool on a solid surface. Using a punch or a screwdriver, carefully tap the stuck fastener out of the nose.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to unjam the nose if there are fasteners in the magazine channel. This could cause the fasteners to fire out the front of the tool and
could lead to serious injury.
• Following the removal of a jammed fastener, always carefully test the tool function before proceeding with any work. If fasteners become jammed frequently,
have the tool serviced by a Tacwise Engineer or appointed service agent.
