WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental
firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is
bumped while trigger is depressed.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate placement and
depth control 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 followed by a
trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both the contact trip
and trigger after each nail.
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:
WARNING: 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.
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
CAUTION: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants 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. Remove battery from tool.
4. Ensure magazine is empty of all fasteners.
5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use
tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the contact
trip restrained in the actuated position.
6. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
7. Insert fully charged battery pack.
Using the Contact Trip Lock-off (Fig. 8, 9)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO
NOT keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the contact
trip lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig. 8) when the tool is not in use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, lock off the
contact trip, disconnect battery pack from tool and remove fasteners
from magazine before making adjustments. Serious personal injury may

result.
Each D
WALT nailer is equipped with a contact trip lock-off (B) which when
E
pulled downward with the lock symbol showing in Figure 8, prevents the
tool from firing a nail.
When the contact trip lock-off is oriented as shown in Figure 9, the
tool will be fully operational. The contact trip lock-off should always
be locked off (Fig. 8) whenever 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 operation.
The contact trip lock-off constrains the contact trip from discharging a nail.
FIG. 7
Loading the Tool
WARNING: Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others. Serious personal injury
may result.
WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger activated. Personal injury may
result.
WARNING: Always remove battery pack before loading or unloading nails. Serious
personal injury may result.
CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of pusher to prevent injury.
CAUTION: The contact trip lock-off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments
are made or when tool is not in use.
1. Press pusher latch (H) and pull magazine back.
2. Insert fasteners into the side of the magazine. Be sure the fasteners ride on their tips in
the nail channel.
3. Push magazine closed until it locks into place.
UNLOADING THE TOOL
CAUTION: The contact trip lock-off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments
are made or when tool is not in use.
1. Press the nail pusher latch and pull the magazine rearward.
2. Tip the tool up until the nails slide freely out 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.
