The Framing Nailer has two firing modes: Single-Sequential actuation for single firing,
or Contact / bump actuation for repetitive, fast firing of nails.
Each mode requires a dierent method of operation:
Single Firing: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the Workpiece Contact
on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the Workpiece
Contact until the Workpiece contact (nose of tool) touches the work surface and then
pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra
force. Instead allow the tool to recoil o the work surface to avoid a second,
unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger.
Contact or Bumping actuation mechanism: To operate the tool in this manner, hold
the tool with the Workpiece Contact pointing towards but not touching the work
surface. Pull the trigger and then tap (bump) the Workpiece Contact against the
work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the Workpiece Contact
will cause a fastener to be driven.
FIRING MODES
WARNING! Never free-fire the tool at high pressure.
because a nail will be driven when the firing head contacts any surface.
WARNING Extreme care should be taken

13
Please read and observe the operation and safety instructions before using the
tool. Basic safety measures should always be strictly followed to protect against
damage to the equipment and personal injury to the user or other people working
in the vicinity of operation.
Preparing a tool for first time operation
Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not exceed
the maximum allowable pressure of the fastener driving tool. Set the air pressure
initially to the lower value of the recommended allowable pressure.
Empty the magazine to prevent a fastener from being ejected when connected to
the compressor.
Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed air supply using suitable
pressure hose equipped with quick-action connectors.
Check for proper functioning by applying the Workpiece contact of the tool to a
piece of wood or wooden material and actuating the trigger once or twice.
