Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
•
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face
and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
•
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and injury.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool, engage trigger
lock and remove fasteners from magazine before making
adjustments or personal injury may result.
Trigger
THE CONTACT OR SEQUENTIAL TRIP
D
WALT offers two types of triggers
e
Contact Trip (black trigger) and Sequential Trip (silver-
gray trigger). Each trigger has specific advantages. Your
construction project should be evaluated to determine
which trigger is best for your project or application.
CONTACT TRIP
Your new D
WALT tool with the Contact Trip (black trigger)
e
installed will drive a nail whenever both the trip and the
trigger are depressed at the same time.
The tool can be used to rapidly drive nails by holding the
trigger pulled and repeatedly bumping the trip against the
work surface to be nailed (Bump Nailing). A nail is driven
each time the trip is bumped against the work surface.
The Contact Trip (black trigger) will not prevent a nail
from being accidentally driven if the trigger is held
pulled and the trip is bumped against any object or
person. Never hold or carry the tool with your finger on
the trigger unless driving fasteners and pointed at the
work surface.
The Contact Trip (black trigger) can also be operated by
holding the tool against the work surface with the trip
depressed and then pulling the trigger (Place Nailing).
