Nailer Actuation
Nosepiece must be in full
contact with the work sur-
face . Gap between the nosepiece and the work
surface may result in deflection of the fastener
and property damage or personal injury .
Never wedge the nosepiece
between two or more sur-
faces . Gap between the nosepiece and multiple
work surfaces may allow deflection of the fas-
tener and property damage or personal injury .
Never hold back the nose-
piece
Holding the nosepiece back can result in unex-
pected actuation and may cause property dam-
age or serious injury .
Never position your face or
body over the nailer top cap
during operation . Sudden recoil can result in
impact to the body and injury .
This nailer operates only in a fully sequential
mode, steps 5–7 must be repeated sequentially
for intended operation of the nailer .
