• DEWALT cordless nailers DC613,
FIG. 5
DC615, DC617, and DC619 are
ONLY
capable
of operating
in
sequential action mode (Fig. 5).
SEQUENTIAL ACTION
/
Use sequential
action for intermittent
nailing where very careful and accurate
placement is desired.
To operate
the nailer in sequential
action
mode:
1. Flip the switch located on the body
of the tool just between the trigger
and magazine to the left, as shown
in Figure 6.
2. Fully depress
nosepiece
against
the work surface (motor will start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work
surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
=&CAUTION:
The contact trip needs to be depressed fol-
lowed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of
both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.
• DEWALT cordless nailers DC612, DC614, DC616, and
DC618 are equipped with a bump/sequential
selector
switch (Fig. 6).
BUMP ACTION ///
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing
on flat, stationary surfaces.
When using bump action, two methods
are
available:
place
actuation
and
bump actuation.
Flip the switch located on the body of the
tool just between the trigger and magazine
to the right as shown in Figure 7.
To operate
the tool
using
the
PLACE
ACTUATION
method:
i_ CAUTION:
A nail will fire each
time the trigger is
depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate
the
tool
using
the
BUMP
ACTUATION
method:
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to
drive multiple nails in sequence.
i_ CAUTION:
Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is
not in use. Keep the contact trip lock-off engaged in the
locked position when the tool is not in use.
Preparing
the
Tool
A CAUTION: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubri-
cants or cleaning solvents inside the tool This can seriously
affect the life and performance of the tooL
NOTE: The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Follow instructions outlined (see Charging
Procedures).
1. Read the Safety Instruction
section
of this manual.
2. Wear eye and ear protection.
3. Ensure magazine is empty of all fasteners.
4. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip
and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assem-
bly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has
the contact trip restrained in the actuated position.
5. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
6. Insert fully charged battery pack.
Using
the
Contact
Trip Lock-off
Fig.
8, 9)
WARNING: Always
wear eye and
ear protection when operating tool
Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a
contact trip lock-off (B) which when
pulled downward with the lock symbol
showing
as shown, prevents the tool
from firing a nail.
When
the
contact
trip
lock-off
is
folded in as shown,
the tool will be
fully operational. The contact trip lock-
off should always be locked off when-
ever
any adjustments
are made or
when tool is not in immediate use.
NOTE: Tools equipped with selective
actuation, when in bump fire mode will
allow the motor to start upon trigger pull. This is normal oper-
ation. The contact trip lock-off constrains the contact trip from
discharging a nail.
Loading
the
Tool
_, CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when
loading nails.
_, CAUTION: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger
activated.
CAUTION: Always remove battery pack before loading or
unloading nails.
LOAD AND DRAW METHOD (FIG. 1)
1. Insert fasteners into the rear of the magazine (G).
2. Pull pusher (H) back until the nail follower falls behind
the nails.
3. Release the pusher.
LOCK AND LOAD METHOD
ik CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of pusher to prevent injury.
A CAUTION:
The contact trip lock-off should always be
locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool
is not in use.
1. Pull pusher back until it locks.
2. Insert fasteners into the rear of the magazine.
3. Push forward on the pusher until it releases and slides
forward.
UNLOADING
THE TOOL
i_ CAUTION:
The contact trip lock-off should always be
locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool
is not in use.
1. Pull pusher back until it locks.
2. Tip the tool up until the nails slide freely out the back of
the magazine
3. Open the jam clear door on the nosepiece to verify there
are no nails remaining.
Adjusting
Depth
(Fig.
10)
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using
the depth adjustment wheel (C) on the side of the tool.
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from acci-
dental
actuation
when attempting
to adjust
depth,
ALWAYS:
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage contact trip lock-off.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth adjustment
wheel (C) counterclockwise. There are six depth settings,
1 being the shallowest and 6 being the deepest.
2. To sink a nail deeper, rotate the depth adjustment wheel
(C) clockwise.
FIG. 10
Headlights
(Fig.
10)
There is a headlight (D) located on each side of the nailer.
Headlights turn on upon battery insertion, activation of the
trigger, or depressing the contact trip. The lights will automat-
ically shut off after 10 seconds unless tool remains in use.
NOTE: These headlights are for lighting the immediate work
surface and are not intended to be used as flashlights.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: The headlights will flash four
consecutive times and then shut down to indicate low battery.
