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. WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the locked position when the tool is not in use. WARNING: When the tool's motor is running, the next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing the contact trip, will cause a nail to fire. Speed Selection (Fig. A, H) This nailer is equipped with a dual speed selection switch 13 located on the foot. • For shorter nails, select speed 1 by setting the switch to the left most position. • For longer nails and more rigorous applications, select speed 2 by setting the switch to the right most position. In the event that nails are not driving to depth in speed setting 1, you may have to switch to speed setting 2 for additional driving power. Fig. H English 1. Read the Nailer Safety Warnings section of this manual. 2. Wear eye and ear protection. 3. Remove battery from tool. 4. Ensure magazine is empty of all fastners. 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 actuated position. 6. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others. 7. Insert fully charged battery pack. Using the Trigger Lock-Off (Fig. I) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig. I) when the tool is not in use. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, lock off trigger, disconnect battery pack from tool and remove nails from magazine before making adjustments. Each DeWALT nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off 2 which when pushed to the right as shown in Figure I, prevents the tool from firing a nail by locking the trigger and bypassing power to the motor.
