debris, collation material, or dust
which could harm operator’s eyes.
The operator and all those persons in the
general area should wear safety glasses
with permanently attached side shields.
Approved safety glasses are imprinted
with the characters “Z87.1”. It is the
employer’s responsibility to enforce the
use of eye protection equipment by the
tool operator and other people in the work
area. (Fig. A)
• Always wear appropriate head
protection. Head protection must
conform with ANSI Z89.1 standard.
• Always wear appropriate personal
hearing and other protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Use only clean, dry, regulated air.
Condensation from an air compressor can
rust and damage the internal workings of
the tool. (Fig. B)
• Regulate air pressure. Use air
pressure compatible with ratings on
the nameplate of the tool. (Not to
exceed 120 psi, 8.3 bar) Do not connect
English

the tool to a compressor rated at over 200 psi. The tool operating
pressure must never exceed 200 psi even in the event of regulator
failure. (Fig. C)
• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working
pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. (Fig. D)
• Do not use bottled gases to power this FIG. E

FIG. G
tool. Bottled compressed gases such as
oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen,
hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are
not for use with pneumatic tools. Never
use combustible gases or any other
reactive gas as a power source for this tool.
Danger of explosion and/or serious
personal injury may result. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure
from the tool when it is disconnected
from the power supply. Use hose
connectors that shut off air supply from
compressor when the tool is disconnected.
(Fig. F)
• Disconnect tool from air supply when
not in use. Always disconnect tool
from air supply and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the
area or passing the tool to another
operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs,
ladders, and the like, with air supply
connected. Do not make adjustments,
remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear jammed
fasteners while connected to the air supply. If the contact trip is
adjusted when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are
loaded, accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before
loading fasteners, to prevent a
fastener from being fired during
connection. The tool driving mechanism
may cycle when tool is connected to
the air supply. Do not load fasteners
with trigger or contact trip depressed, to
prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or
otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or
contact trip to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip
in the on position. Do not remove spring
from contact trip. Make daily inspections
for free movement of trigger and contact
trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not
operate a tool if any portion of the tool,
trigger, or contact trip is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Leaking air, damaged parts
or missing parts should be repaired or
replaced before use. (Fig.H) A tool that is
not in proper working order must not be
used. Tags and physical segregation shall
be used for control.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)

• Always keep fingers clear of contact
trip to prevent injury from inadvertent
release of nails. (Fig. M)
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs
sections for detailed information on
the proper maintenance of the tool
• Always operate the tool in a clean,
lighted area. Be sure the work surface
is clear of any debris and be careful not
to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
• Do not actuate tool unless tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge
of material. The workpiece may split
causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail
may follow the grain of the wood (shiner),
causing it to protrude unexpectedly from
the side of the work material. Drive the
nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce
risk of injury. (Fig. N)
• Do not drive nails onto the heads
of other fasteners or with the tool
at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or
ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. O)
• Be aware of material thickness when
using the nailer. A protruding nail may
cause injury.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time.
No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement.
(Fig. J)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control. When tool
is not in use, it should be locked in a safe
place, out of the reach of children.
• Remove finger from trigger when
not driving fasteners. Never carry
tool with finger on trigger. Accidental
discharge could result.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times. Loss of
balance may cause cause personal injury.
(Fig. K)
• Make sure hose is free of obstructions
or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses
can cause loss of balance or footing. Do
not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.
• Use the tool only for its intended use.
Do not discharge fasteners into open
air, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too
hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do
not use the body of the tool or top
cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners
may follow unexpected path and cause
injury. (Fig. L)

• Be aware that when the tool is being
utilized at pressures on the high end
of its operating range, nails can be
driven completely through thin or
very soft work material. Make sure
the pressure in the compressor is set so
that nails are set into the material and not
pushed completely through. (Fig. P)
• Keep hands and body parts clear of
immediate work area. Hold workpiece
with clamps when necessary to keep
hands and body out of potential harm. Be
sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the
material. The contact trip may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
(Fig.Q)
• Do not use tool in the presence of
flammable dust, gases or fumes. The
tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail
into another nail may also cause a spark.
(Fig.R)
• Keep face and body parts away from
back of the tool cap when working
in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can
result in impact to the body, especially
when nailing into hard or dense material.
(Fig. S)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In
“Contact Actuation Mode” if contact trip is allowed to recontact
work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will
be fired.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual
for triggering options. Always select the trigger method that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the training of the
operator.
CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the contact action
trigger, be careful of unintentional
double fires resulting from tool
recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the contact trip is allowed to
accidentally re-contact the work surface.
(Fig. T)
TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a
strong force.
• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
• When “contact” actuating the framing nailer, always
keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the sequential action
FIG. U
trigger, do not actuate the tool
unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls,
floors or other work areas. Fasteners

driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of
obstructions can result in injury. (Fig.U)
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
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.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if 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.

OPERATION
Preparing the Tool (Fig. 2, 3)
WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions
at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection
when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself
and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures
and checks before each use of the nailer.
1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks
have been properly drained.
2. Lubricate the tool following these directions:
a. Use D
e
WALT pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20
weight oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will
damage o-rings and rubber parts.
b. Use a filter-regulator-lubricator in the air line between the
compressor and the tool when possible.
English
6

c. If a lubricator is not available, add 5 to 10 drops of oil in the air
fitting a least twice a day or every 4 hours of use.
FIG. 2 FIG. 3
3. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
4. Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
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 up position.
6. Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed
recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.
7. Connect air hose.
8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a
tool that leaks or has damaged parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool
from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed
fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or
handing the tool to another person.
Mode Selection
WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating
this tool.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on
trigger. In contact mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped
while trigger is depressed.
Sequential Trip: Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the
contact tip against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows
exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second
fastener on recoil, as described under Contact Trip. The sequential
trip tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally
drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or
anything else while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
Contract Trip: The common operating procedure on contact trip
tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate
the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving
a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid
fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking
and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when
driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if
unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger
still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted
second fastener will be driven.
TO CHANGE OPERATING MODES (FIG. 1, 4, 5)
WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners
from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may
result.

pneumatiques. Ne jamais utiliser de gaz
combustibles ou tout autre type de gaz
réactif comme source d’énergie pour cet
outil. Leur utilisation représente un
danger d’explosion et peut se solder par
des blessures corporelles. (Fig. E)
• Utiliser des raccords qui libèrent
toute la pression de l’outil lorsqu’il est
débranché de la source d’alimentation.
Utiliser des connecteurs de tuyau
qui coupent l’alimentation d’air du
compresseur quand l’outil est débranché.
(Fig. F)
• Débrancher l’outil de la source
d’alimentation en air lorsqu’il n’est
pas utilisé. Toujours débrancher l’outil
de la source d’alimentation en air et
retirer les attaches qui se trouvent
dans le magasin avant de quitter la
zone de travail ou de remettre l’outil à
un autre opérateur. Ne pas transporter
l’outil vers une autre zone de travail
qui comprend des échafaudages, des
marches, des échelles etc., avec la
source d’alimentation en air raccordée.
Ne pas effectuer de réglages, retirer
le magasin, effectuer l’entretien ou
débloquer des attaches coincées
pendant que l’outil est raccordé à
la source d’alimentation en air. Une
décharge accidentelle pourrait se produire
si le déclencheur est réglé alors que l’outil
• Toujours porter des protecteurs d’oreilles appropriés et
autres dispositifs de protection durant l’utilisation. Selon les
conditions et la durée d’utilisation, le bruit émis par cet outil peut
causer une perte auditive. (Fig. A)
• Utiliser uniquement de l’air propre, sec
et régulé. La conden sation provenant
d’un compresseur d’air peut faire rouiller
et endommager les composantes internes
de l’outil. (Fig. B)
• Réguler la pression d’air. Utiliser
une pression compatible avec la
pression nominale indiquée sur la
fiche signalétique de l’outil. (Ne doit
pas excéder 120 psi, 8,3 bars.) Ne pas
raccorder l’outil à un compresseur d’une
puissance nominale supérieure à 200 psi.
La pression de fonctionnement de l’outil
ne doit jamais excéder 200 psi même
dans l’éventualité d’une défaillance du
régulateur. (Fig. C)
• Utiliser exclusivement un tuyau
d’air prévu pour une pression de
fonctionnement maximale d’au moins
10,3 bars (150 psi) ou 150 % de la
pression maximale du système, selon
la pression la plus élevée. (Fig. D)
• Ne pas utiliser de gaz en bouteille pour
faire fonctionner cet outil. Les gaz
comprimés en bouteille comme l’oxygène,
le bioxyde de carbone, l’azote, l’hydrogène,
le propane, l’acétylène ou l’air ne doivent
pas être utilisés avec les outils

est raccordé à la source d’alimentation en air et que des clous sont
chargés. (Fig. G)
• Brancher l’outil à la source d’alimentation en air avant
de charger les attaches afin de prévenir qu’une attache
soit éjectée au cours du branchement. Le mécanisme
d’entraînement de l’outil peut être mis en cycle lorsque l’outil est
branché à la source d’alimentation en air. Ne pas enfoncer la
détente ou le déclencheur lors du chargement des attaches pour
prévenir un clouage par inadvertance.
• Ne pas retirer, modifier ou rendre non fonctionnel, l’outil, la
détente ou le déclencheur de l’outil de quelque façon que
ce soit. Ne pas fixer de ruban ou d’attache sur la détente ou le
déclencheur pour le maintenir en position de MARCHE. Ne pas
retirer le ressort du déclencheur. Inspecter quotidiennement le bon
fonctionnement de la détente et du déclencheur. Une décharge
non contrôlée pourrait survenir.
• Inspecter l’outil avant de l’utiliser. Ne pas faire fonctionner un
outil si une partie de l’outil, de la détente ou du déclencheur
n’est pas fonctionnelle, est débranchée, modifiée ou ne
fonctionne pas correctement. Les fuites d’air ainsi que les
pièces endommagées ou manquantes doivent être réparées ou
remplacées avant utilisation. (Fig. H) Ne pas utiliser un outil ne
fonctionnant pas correctement. Repères et limites physiques
doivent être utilisés pour maintenir le contrôle.
• Ne pas transformer ou modifier l’outil de quelque façon que
ce soit. (Fig. I)
• Toujours considérer que l’outil contient des attaches.
• Ne jamais pointer l’outil en direction d’un collègue de
travail ou de soi-même. Pas de chamaillerie! Toujours travailler
prudemment! Respecter l’outil en tant qu’élément essentiel au
travail. (Fig. J)
• Tenir les spectateurs, les enfants et les visiteurs à l’écart
durant l’utilisation d’un outil mécanique. Les distractions
peuvent entraîner une perte de maîtrise. Verrouiller l’outil dans un
endroit sûr, hors de la portée des enfants lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé.
• Enlever le doigt de la détente lorsque vous ne clouez pas. Ne
jamais transporter l’outil avec le doigt sur la détente. Cette
pratique pourrait se solder par une décharge intempestive.
• Ne pas tendre le bras trop loin. Il faut FIG. K
FIG. L
FIG. M
demeurer bien campé sur ses pieds et en
équilibre en tout temps. Une perte
d’équilibre risquerait d’entraîner une
blessure corporelle. (Fig. K)
• S’assurer que le tuyau est exempt de
toute obstruction ou déchirure. Les
tuyaux embrouillés ou tordus pourraient
faire perdre l’équilibre ou perdre pied. Ne
pas soulever, tirer ou abaisser l’outil par le
tuyau.
• N’utiliser l’outil que pour les travaux
pour lesquels il a été conçu; ne pas
décharger les attaches à l’air libre ni
dans des matériaux durs, comme le
béton, la pierre, le bois ou les noeuds
ou tout autre matériel trop difficile à
pénétrer. Ne pas utiliser le corps de
l’outil ou le couvercle supérieur en
guise de marteau. Les attaches éjectées
peuvent suivre une trajectoire inattendue et
causer des blessures. (Fig. L)
• Toujours garder les doigts éloignés
du déclencheur par contact afin
Français
17

d’éviter une décharge accidentelle
et les risques de blessure. (Fig. M)
• Consulter les sections Entretien
et Réparations pour obtenir les
renseignements détaillés sur
l’entretien approprié de l’outil.
• Toujours utiliser l’outil dans un endroit
propre et bien éclairé; s’assurer que la
surface de travail est exempte de débris et
prendre soin de ne pas perdre l’équilibre
lorsqu’on travaille dans un endroit surélevé,
tel un toit.
• Ne pas enfoncer les attaches près des
bords de la pièce; celle-ci pourrait se
fractionner, ce qui risque de faire ricocher
l’attache et de blesser quelqu’un, y compris
l’utilisateur ou un collègue de travail.
S’assurer de ne pas enfoncer l’attache en
direction du fil du bois afin qu’il ne dépasse
pas le bord de la pièce. Enfoncer le clou
perpendiculaire au fil du bois afin de réduire
les risques de blessure. (Fig. N)
• Ne pas enfoncer de clous sur les têtes
d’autres attaches ou à un angle trop
aigu. Cette pratique peut se solder par une
blessure corporelle provoquée par un recul,
un coincement d’attache ou un ricochet de
clou. (Fig. O)
• S’informer de l’épaisseur du matériau
lorsque vous utilisez une cloueuse. Un
clou en saillie peut causer des blessures.
• Être conscient que lorsque l’outil est
utilisé à des pressions du côté élevé
de sa gamme de fonctionnement, les
clous peuvent passer complètement
à travers un matériau mince ou très
souple. S’assurer que la pression dans le
compresseur est réglée de sorte que les
clous sont fixés dans le matériau et non
poussés entièrement dans celui-ci. (Fig. P)
• Garder les mains et les parties du
corps éloignées de la zone de travail
immédiate. Au besoin, maintenir la pièce
à travailler avec des serres afin de garder
les mains et les parties du corps éloignées
du danger potentiel. S’assurer que la pièce
à travailler est adéquatement fixée avant de
pousser la cloueuse contre sa surface. Le
déclencheur peut entraîner le déplacement
inopiné de la pièce à travailler. (Fig. Q)
• Ne pas utiliser l’outil en présence de
poussières, de gaz ou d’émanations
inflammables. L’outil peut générer une
étincelle qui risque d’enflammer les gaz,
provoquant ainsi un incendie. Une étincelle
peut également survenir si un clou est
enfoncé sur un autre clou. (Fig. R)
• Garder le visage et les parties du corps
éloignés de l’arrière du couvercle de
l’outil lorsque le travail est effectué
dans des endroits restreints. Un recul soudain peut entraîner
un impact au corps, particulièrement durant un clouage dans des
matériaux durs ou denses. (Fig. S)
