English be locked out and will not actuate until more staples are loaded. (Refer to Loading the Tool) Adjusting Depth (Fig. J) The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment wheel 3 on the side of the tool. WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS: • Remove battery pack. • Engage trigger lock-off. • Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments. 1. To drive the staple shallower , rotate the depth adjustment wheel 3 away from the nose of the stapler. 2. To sink a staple deeper , rotate the depth adjustment wheel 3 toward the nose of the stapler.

Remove bent staple, using pliers if necessary. 5. If driver blade is in the down position, cycle the stall release lever 11 using enough force to fully slide it to the other end of the slot in the housings. 6. Reinsert staples into magazine (see Loading the Tool) 7. Reinsert battery pack. NOTE: The tool will disable itself and not reset until the battery pack has been removed and reinserted. Fig. L 11 3 12 Headlights (Fig. K) There is a headlight 4 located on each side of the stapler. Headlights turn on upon battery insertion, activation of the trigger, or depressing the contact trip. The lights will automatically shut off after 20 seconds unless tool remains in use. Fig. K 4 NOTE: These headlights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as flashlights. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: The left-side headlight will flash four consecutive times and then shut down to indicate low battery. JAMMED STAPLE INDICATOR: The right-side headlight will flash continually if a staple becomes jammed in the nosepiece (see Clearing a Jammed Staple). Clearing a Jammed Staple (Fig. A, L) If a staple becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed away from you and follow these instructions to clear: NOTE: Should staples continue to jam frequently in nosepiece, have tool serviced by an authorized DeWALT service center. Cold Weather Operation When operating tools at temperatures below freezing: 1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use. 2. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber before using. Hot Weather Operation Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this. WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. 12
