English • Be aware that when the tool is being FIG. Q utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range, nails can be driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the compressor is set so that nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through. (Fig. P) • Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece Fig. R with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. (Fig. Q) • Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could FIG. S ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. R) • Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. S) • Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In "Contact Actuation Mode" if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired. • Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering options. Always select the trigger method that is appropriate to the fastener application and the training of the operator. FIG. T CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER • When using the contact action trigger, be careful of unint­entional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface. (Fig. T) TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES: • Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force. • Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation. • Use sequential action trigger. • When "contact" actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener. SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER FIG. U • When using the sequential action trigger, do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. • Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas.

Be aware that when the tool is being
utilized at pressures on the high end
of its operating range, nails can be
driven completely through thin or
very soft work material.
Make sure
the pressure in the compressor is set so
that nails are set into the material and not
pushed completely through. (Fig. P)
• Keep hands and body parts clear of
immediate work area.
Hold workpiece
with clamps when necessary to keep
hands and body out of potential harm. Be
sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the
material. The contact trip may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
(Fig. Q)
• Do not use tool in the presence of
flammable dust, gases or fumes.
The
tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail
into another nail may also cause a spark.
(Fig. R)
•
Keep face and body parts away from
back of the tool cap when working
in restricted areas.
Sudden recoil can
result in impact to the body, especially
when nailing into hard or dense material.
(Fig. S)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
In
“Contact Actuation Mode” if contact trip is allowed to recontact
work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will
be fired.
•
Choice of triggering method is important.
Check the manual
for triggering options. Always select the trigger method that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the training of the
operator.
CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the contact action
trigger,  be careful of unintentional
double fires resulting from tool
recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the contact trip is allowed to
accidentally re-contact the work surface.
(Fig. T)
TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
•
Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a
strong force.
•
Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
• When “contact” actuating the framing nailer, always
keep tool under control.
Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the sequential action
FIG. U
trigger, do not actuate the tool
unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls,
floors or other work areas.
