CAUTION: Do not place the contact element against the workpiece with excessive force. Also, pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds after nailing. Even in the "Single sequential actuation" mode, halfpulled trigger causes an unexpected nailing, when the contact element re-contacts the workpiece. Contact actuation Pull the trigger first and then place the contact element against the workpiece. 1 2 Anti dry fire mechanism This tool is equipped with an anti dry fire mechanism. When there are a few nails remaining in the magazine, the contact arm will be locked in the undepressed position to prevent the tool from being activated. When it is activated, load more nails to resume operation. Removing jammed nails CAUTION: Always return the trigger and disconnect the hose before removing jammed nails. CAUTION: Do not use deformed nails or nail strip. Failure to do so causes poor nail feeding. Follow the procedures in "Removing nails" to remove the nails in the magazine. Open the latch and release the door, then remove the jammed nail. MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance, always return the trigger and disconnect the air hose from the tool. NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. Nails Handle nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail strips have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape, causing poor nail feed. Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place exposed to direct sunlight. Maintenance of nailer Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required. With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do not use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or binds. When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or humid or hot environment. Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose After operation, always drain the compressor tank and the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it may result in poor performance and possible tool failure. 1 2 ► 1 . Latch 2. Door 8 ENGLISH
