AEG AFNDA2565, Original Instructions Manual

6

 WARNING

Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others 

when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in 

possible serious personal injury.

■

Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the 

magazine. Release the pusher and allow it to push 

the nails up to the driving mechanism. The pusher 

will stop when it rests against the end of the nail strip.

NOTE:

 Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.

 WARNING

Use only the nails recommended for use with this 

tool. The use of any other nails can result in tool 

malfunction, leading to serious injuries.

 WARNING

Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger 

activated. Doing so could result in possible serious 

personal injury.

 WARNING

Do not use nails smaller than 2.87 mm nail shank 

diameter. Doing so may cause nails to exit the tool 

prematurely through the guide track. Do not use 

hardened nails with pneumatic tools. This could lead 

to excessive wear of the guide body and allow nails 

to exit the back of the guide body, leading to serious 

personal injury.

USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See figure 8 - 9.

 WARNING

Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact 

mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so 

could result in possible serious injury.

This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable 

trigger set in the 

single sequential actuation

 mode. The 

selectable trigger can also be set for 

contact actuation

mode.

Note:

 Do not use this tool in the contact actuation mode 

unless you have had training in the use of this mode of 

operation. Untrained or inexperienced operators should 

not use the contact actuation mode.

SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE

Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate 

fastener placement.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2.  Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.

3.  Rotate the selector to position A.

4.  Release the trigger lever pivot pin.

 WARNING

The nailer will not function properly if the selector is 

not securely seated in either position A or B. Always 

assure the selector is seated properly to avoid an 

unexpected fastener discharge and possible serious 

personal injury.

5.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

6.  Grip  the  tool  firmly  to  maintain  control.  Position  the 

nose of the tool onto the work surface.

7.  Push the tool against the work surface to depress the 

workpiece contact.

8.  Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.

9.  Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as 

the fastener is driven.

10. Always remove your finger from the trigger when the 

desired number of nails has been driven.

CONTACT ACTUATION MODE (BUMP FIRE)

Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener 

placement.
1.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2.  Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.

3.  Rotate the selector to position B.

4.  Release the trigger lever pivot pin.

NOTE:

 The trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and 

held in position by locking tab to prevent movement 

during operation.
5.  Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

6.  Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.

7.  Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against 

the work surface to depress the workpiece contact 

and drive a fastener.

8.  Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as 

the fastener is driven.

9.  Always remove your finger from the trigger when the 

desired number of nails has been driven.

NOTE:

 In contact actuation mode, the tool may also be 

operated by depressing the workpiece contact against 

the surface and squeezing the trigger.

 WARNING

When used in the contact actuation mode do not 

carry the tool with the trigger depressed as this will 

cause a fastener to discharge if the workpiece contact 

accidentally bumps against an object. Failure to observe 

this warning can result in serious personal injury.

 WARNING

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately 

after driving a fastener. This is a normal function 

of the tool.

 Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by 

holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the 

recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from 

the  nailer.  Grip  the  handle  firmly,  let  the  tool  do  the 

work, and do not place second hand on top of tool or 

near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning 

can result in serious personal injury.
