from the side of the
work material. Drive
the chisel point of the
fastener
perpendicular to the
grain to reduce risk
of injury.
• Do not drive nails
onto the heads of
other fasteners or
with the tool at too
steep an angle.
Personal injury from
strong recoil jammed
nails, or ricocheted
nails may result.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
Bump 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.
Bump/Sequential Selector Switch
Sequential Action
• When using the tool in sequential action, do not actuate the tool unless the
tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. Bump Action
• When using the tool in bump action, 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.
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 bump actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool in control.
Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a nail.
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may
cause injury.
• Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation
when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS; ʵ Remove battery pack. ʵ
Engage trigger lock-off.
ʵ Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners
driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can
result in injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection, • NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
