OPERATION WARNING: During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do not place second hand on top of tool at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury. DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT See Figure 9, page 15. The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted by rotating the dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the depth the nail is driven. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application and to drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth is set. REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL See Figure 10, page 15.  Remove the battery pack from the tool. WARNING: Remove the battery pack from the tool before removing nails. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. 
