Operating the tool
• Test the driving depth in a sample piece of wood before using. See section Adjusting the depth.
• Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is in correct range denoted in section of Technical data.
• 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):
• Depress the trigger and whilst holding the trigger squeezed, repeatedly impact the nose piece on the work surface.
• The tool will drive one fastener each time the nose is impacted (Fig. F).
NOTE: The air deflector (Fig. G) is directional and can be rotated through 360°.
Removing a jammed fastener (Fig. H)
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).
• Remove any jammed fasteners from the nose by opening the quick-release nose gate.
• Any jammed fastener(s) will be visible and can be removed.
• Close and lock the nose gate before reconnecting the tool to the air system.
CAUTION: Never open the nose gate if there are fasteners in the magazine channel. This could cause the fasteners to fire out of 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.
