OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Pull feeder shoe all the way to the rear, until it latches .
3. Line up a strip of nails with points down and drop into the magazine.

grees.

USING THE TOOL
Complete all the steps for preparing the tool before using. This tool can be fired in two dif-
ferent ways:
1. Put the nose of the tool on the working surface; lightly push the tool toward the work-
ing surface until the safe bracket is pressed, and press the trigger to drive the fasten-
ers. This "trigger fire" method provides the most accurate fastener placement. In this
method, the safety bracket can be adjusted with the knob to avoid striking two nails at
one time.
2. Another method to firing the gun is bump fire. Keep the trigger pressed, then push the
safety bracket to the working surface. Once the bracket is pushed back enough, the
nail will fire.
CAUTION:
Remove your finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger: the tool will fire a fastener if the
safety is bumped.
Keep the tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, at too steep an angle,
or near the edge of the work piece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury.
•
Clean and inspect the tool daily.
•
Carefully check for proper operation of the trigger and safety.
•
Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or
if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair.
FASTENER DEPTH
The depth to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment (A). The
