OPERATION SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE See Figure 6, page 13. The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size of the nail and the workpiece material. Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job. Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed. Turn air pressure dial clockwise to increase air pressure or counterclockwise for decreased pressure. It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the depth of drive adjustment on the tool. NOTE: Under some conditions, the unit may not deliver a nail when the air pressure dial is turned to the MAXIMUM pressure setting. The user may need to decrease the pressure setting for desired operation. DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT See Figure 7, page 13. The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application. To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and drive a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the depth of drive adjustment on the tool. Harder materials and longer nails will require more force to drive the nail. Remove battery pack from the tool, if installed. Turn the depth of drive adjustment left or right to change the driving depth. Reinstall battery and reactivate the tool by pressing the worklight grip switch. Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set. NOTE: Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that will meet your needs. DRIVING BRAD NAILS See Figures 8 - 9, page 13. WARNING: Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so could result in possible serious injury. Single sequential actuation mode: Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate nail placement. Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose of the tool onto the work surface. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the workpiece contact. Squeeze the trigger to drive a nail. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive a nail. NOTE: Hold trigger until drive cycle is complete. Always remove your finger from the trigger when the desired number of nails has been driven. DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT When the magazine has 0-5 nails remaining, the dry-fire lockout feature will not allow continued operation. To resume operation, reload the tool with nails. LED WORKLIGHT See Figure 10, page 13. Press LED worklight grip switch while firmly holding tool during operation. DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK The LED worklight provides feedback to indicate whether the battery pack is charged sufficiently and/or if the tool is functioning properly. If the light goes out on your nailer, the unit has timed out for your protection. Lift tool from the workpiece and release trigger to reactivate the nailer before beginning next drive cycle. If LED worklight is flashing, install fully charged battery. If light continues to flash, see Troubleshooting section for more information. REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL See Figure 11, page 13. WARNING: Remove the battery pack before removing nails or clearing a jammed nail. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Remove battery pack from the tool. T o remove a strip of nails from the tool, depress the maga- zine release button located at the rear of the magazine and slide the magazine open. Remove nails. Close the magazine. REMOVING A JAMMED BRAD NAIL See Figure 12, page 13. WARNING: Remove the battery pack from the tool before clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. 9 - English
