Actuation
Single Sequential Actuation Operation
1. Grip the handle fi rmly.
2.
Position the nose of the tool on the work
surface.
3. Push the tool against the work surface,
compressing the workpiece contact.
4.
Pull the trigger to drive the fastener. The
tool will recoil away from the workpiece
as the fastener is driven.
5. Remove your fi nger from the trigger and
remove the tool from the workpiece.
NOTE:
If the tool is not removed from

Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part
of a fastener wedging between the driver
blade and the nail guide. Fastener strips
with an incorrect collation angle or the
wrong fastener type (such as clipped head
fasteners) may cause continuous jamming.
To clear the jam:
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
and remove fastener strip.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the end of the
nail guide. The tip of the screwdriver
should contact the tip of the driver
blade.
4. Tap the screwdriver gently with a ham-
mer. The screwdriver will push the driver
blade back, freeing the jam.
5. Remove the fastener and other debris
(use needle-nose pliers if necessary).
6. Follow the steps under "Required Daily
Testing" before restarting the work.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to your-
self and others, test the tool before
beginning work each day according to
the "Required Daily Testing" section.
Do not use the tool unless you thor-
oughly understand the actuation
operation selected.
Disconnect the air supply from the
tool and remove fastener strips
before leaving the work area, mov-
ing the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in seri-
ous injury.
Do not carry an air hose or a tool con-
nected to an air hose when climbing
ladders, rigging or scaffolding. Do
not attach an air hose or tool con-
nected to an air hose to your body
when working at elevated heights.
Attach the hose to the structure to
reduce the risk of loss of balance and
injury if the hose shifts.
