Reload Indicator
To indicate that the magazine is almost empty of fas-
teners (about 4-5 left), the workpiece contact will not
compress, preventing operation under usual pressure.
Install more fasteners to continue working.
NEVER wedge or hold back the
WARNING
workpiece contact mechanism dur-
ing operation of the tool. Never attempt to clear a
jammed workpiece contact by grasping the dis-
charge area of the tool. Doing so could result in
serious injury.
To avoid serious injury, do not attempt to prevent
the recoil by holding the tool too firmly against
the work. Keep face and body away from the tool.
During normal use, the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function
of the tool. Restriction to the recoil can result in a
second fastener being driven when the tool is in
Contact Actuation mode. Grip the handle firmly,
let the tool do the work, and do not place a second
hand on top of the tool.
Setting the Depth of Drive
The depth of drive can be adjusted to account for the
size of the fastener and the workpiece material.
Know what is behind your workpiece.
WARNING
A fastener could travel through the
workpiece and out the other side, striking a
bystander and causing serious injury. Lower the
depth of drive to prevent the fastener from being
pushed all the way through the workpiece.
1. Drive a test fastener.
2. Remove battery pack.
3. WARNING! Always point
the tool away from yourself
and others when making
adjustments. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
4. Turn the depth selector left or
right to increase or decrease
the driving depth.
5. Repeat until desired depth is
reached.
Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of a fastener
wedging between the driver blade and the nail guide.
Fastener strips with an incorrect collation angle or the
wrong fastener gauge may cause continuous jamming.
To clear the jam:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. WARNING! Always point the tool away from yourself
and others when installing or removing fasteners.
Failure to do so could result in injury.
3. Remove fastener strip from magazine.
4. Pull down on the jam latch and pull away from the tool.
5. Remove the fastener and other debris (use needle-
nose pliers if necessary).
6. Close jam latch.
7. Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing"
before restarting the work.
