USING THE TOOL

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.
To fire, grip tool firmly, position nose of tool onto work surface, push forward on
tool to depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. This "trigger fire"
method provides the most accurate fastener placement. This tool is shipped
from the factory with a "restrictive fire trigger" that only allows the tool to be
fired this way and is less likely to fire an unwanted fastener.
An alternate "bottom fire trigger" is available. The "bottom fire" trigger allows the
tool to be fired in two different ways.
1. The tool can be fired using the "trigger fire" method described above.
2. Grip tool firmly, depress and hold trigger while pushing the tool firmly
against work surface. The tool will fire a fastener each time the safety is
depressed. This method is known as "bottom fire" and allows very fast repetitive
fastener placement.
The "bottom fire trigger" is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in
the United States and Canada or 001-901-660-9374 outside the United States
and Canada, and providing tool model and serial number. For identification
purposes: the Bottom Fire Trigger is black and the Restrictive Fire Trigger is
red.
CAUTION: Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener if safety
is bumped.
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at
too step an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing 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.
Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of
trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the
trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking
air or needs any other repair.
The depth to which a fastener is driven is
controlled by the depth adjustment knob
(A) Fig. 19. The depth of drive is factory
adjusted to a nomimal setting. Test fire
a fastener and check depth. If a change
is desired, rotate the adjustment knob
(A) Fig. 19: the adjustment knob has
detents every 1
/

clockwise (see Fig. 19), to increase
the depth of drive, rotate the knob
counterclockwise to decrease the depth of drive. Test fire another fastener and
check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air
pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material
being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest
setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that
required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
