OPERATION WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Tools at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection 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. 1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been properly drained. 2. Lubricate the tool following these directions: a. Use DEWALT pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20 weight oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will damage o-rings and rubber parts. b. Use a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator in the air line between the compressor and the tool when possible. c. If a lubricator is not available, add 5 to 10 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice a day or every 4 hours of use. 3. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection. 4. Lock the pusher in the back position and remove all fasteners from the magazine. 5. 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. 6. Check 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/cm2). 7. Connect air hose. 8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that leaks or has damaged parts. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing the tool to another person. Using the Lock-off (Fig. 1) WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the lock-off switch rotated to the right (OFF) when the tool is not in use. Serious personal injury may result. WARNING: Lock-off trigger, disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments. Serious personal injury may result. Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off switch (G) which when rotated to the right, prevents the tool from actuating. When the switch is centered, the tool will be fully operational. The trigger should always be locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in use. Loading the Tool WARNING: Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others. Serious personal injury may result. WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger activated. Personal injury may result. 1. Read all Safety Warnings before using tool. 2. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others when you connect the nailer to the air supply. 3. Lock off trigger. 4. Push pusher release and pull magazine back. 5. Insert fasteners into the side of the magazine. Be sure the fasteners ride on their tips in the nail channel. 6. Push magazine closed until it locks in place. Actuating Tool WARNING: 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. The trigger installed on the tool as described in the Trigger section of this manual determines the mode of operation. SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER - (GRAY) The sequential action trigger's intended use is for intermittent nailing 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. Depress the trigger. CAUTION: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed. BUMP ACTION TRIGGER - (BLACK) The bump action trigger's intended use is for rapid nailing 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. Depress the contact trip against the work surface. 2. Depress the trigger. To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method: 1. Depress the trigger. 2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple nails in sequence. CAUTION: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the lock-off switch rotated to the right (OFF) when the tool is not in use. Adjusting Depth (Fig. 5, 6) The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the trigger of the tool. WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS: • Lock OFF trigger. • Disconnect air supply. • Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments. 1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth setting wheel (Fig. 5, K or Fig. 6, J) to the right. 2. To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth setting wheel (Fig. 5, K or Fig. 6, J) to the left. Clearing a Jammed Nail (Fig. 7) WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from tool before clearing a jammed nail. Fasteners are under pressure and may shoot out of magazine causing personal injury. If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed away from you and follow these instructions to clear: 1. Lock off trigger. 2. Disconnect air supply from tool and lock trigger. 3. Release pusher from behind nails. 4. Push down jam clearing latch (A) then pull up to open front door (Q). 5. Remove bent nail, using pliers if necessary. 6. If driver blade is in the down position, insert screwdriver or other rod into nosepiece and push driver blade back in position. 7. Remove rod and close front door. 8. Lift latch to secure door to nosepiece. 9. Reattach air supply.
