Stall Release (Fig. 12)
If the nailer is used in harder wood where all available energy in the motor
is used to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver blade will not
complete the drive cycle and the jam/stall indicator will flash. Rotate the
stall release lever (E) on the tool and the mechanism will release. NOTE:
The tool will disable itself and not reset until the battery pack has been
removed and reinserted. If the driver blade does not automatically return
to the home position, proceed to Clearing a Jammed Nail. If the unit
continues to stall please review the material and fastener length to be
sure that it is not too rigorous an application.

Cold Weather Operation
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
2. Actuate the tool 10 or 15 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.
Rotating Rafter Hook (Fig. 14)
WARNING: Never use hook to hang tool from belt or other clothing unless tool is in sequntial
action mode.
WARNING: Remove nails from magazine before making any adjustments or servicing this tool.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.

on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
The D
WALT cordless nailer includes a rotating rafter hook (J) and can be
e
easily positioned to the left or right of the tool to accommodate left- or right-
