OPERATION
PREPARING THE TOOL
WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Tools at
the beginning of this manual. Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and
hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed
away from yourself and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and
checks before each use of the nailer.
NOTE: These nailers are designed to be used without oil.
1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been properly
drained.
2. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
3. Lock the magazine release in the back position and remove all fasteners from the
magazine.
4. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies. Do not
use tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the
contact trip restrained in the up position.
5. Adjust air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed recommended operating
limits; 70 to 120 psi, (4.9 to 8.3 bar, 5 to 8.5 kg/cm
2
).
6. Connect air hose.
7. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that leaks or has
damaged parts.
LOADING THE TOOL (Fig. 3)
WARNING: Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others. Serious personal injury
may result.
WARNING: Never load fasteners with the contact trip or trigger activated. Personal injury
may result.
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before making any
adjustments or attemping any repairs to the tool.
1. Read all Safety Warnings before using tool.
2. Connect the tool to air supply.
3. Push magazine release (F) and pull magazine (E) back.
4. Insert fasteners into the side of the magazine. Be sure the fasteners ride on their tips
in the nail channel.
5. Push magazine closed until it locks in place.
ACTUATING TOOL
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes: single sequential action trigger mode and
bump action trigger mode.
Sequential action trigger - Grey trigger (Fig. 1)
The sequential action triger’s intended use is for intermittent fastening where very careful and
accurate placement is desired.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
WARNING: A fastener will be driven each time the trigger is pulled as long as the contact
trip remains depressed which could result in accidental driving.
Bump action trigger - Black trigger (Fig. 1)
The bump action trigger’s intended use is for rapid fastening on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the bump action trigger, two methods are available: place actuation and bump
actuation.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:
1. Push the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:
1. Pull the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is pulled, the tool
will drive a fastener every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to
drive multiple fasteners in sequence.
WARNING: Do not keep trigger pulled when tool is not in use.
ADJUSTING DEPTH (Fig. 4)
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting
to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
• Avoidcontactwithtriggerduringadjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the
trigger of the tool.
1. To drive the fastener shallower, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the right.
2. To drive a fastener deeper, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the left.
CLEARING A JAMMED NAIL (Fig. 5)
WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air supply and remove fasteners from
magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result.
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed away from you and follow
these instructions to clear:
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Release magazine release (F) from behind nails.
3. Push down jam clearing latch (A) then pull up to open front door (P).
4. Remove bent nail, using pliers if necessary.
5. If driver blade is in the down position, insert screwdriver or other rod into nosepiece
and push driver blade back in position.
6. Remove rod and close front door.
7. Lift latch to secure door to nosepiece.
8. Reinsert nails into magazine (see Loading the Tool).
9. Release magazine release (F).
10. Reattach air supply.
NOTE: Should nails continue to jam frequently in nosepiece, have tool serviced by an
authorized DeWALT service center.
