• Push the rubber grommet (5) onto the end of the dowel pin.24 ENGLISH Air fi tting (fi g. A) These tools have a standard 3/8" pipe thread for the air fi tting (2). The tool is assembled with a 3/8" to 1/4" adapter installed in the end cap.

• Wrap the male end of the fi tting with Tefl on tape to prevent air leaks.

• To install a 1/4" fi tting, screw the fi tting into the 3/8" to 1/4" adapter in the end cap and tighten fi rmly.

• To install a 3/8" fi tting, remove the 3/8" to 1/4" adapter, if present. Screw the fi tting into the end cap and tighten fi rmly. Instructions for use Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations. Preparing the tool (fi g. C)

• Drain all condensation from the air compressor tanks and hoses.

• Lubricate the tool. See “Maintenance”.

• Remove all nails from the magazine.

• Lock the nail pusher (11) in the back position.

• Check if the contact trip (3) and nail pusher (11) can move freely. Do not use the tool if the contact trip or nail pusher cannot move freely.

• Check that the pressure of the air supply is below the maximum recommended operating pressure.

• Connect the air hose to the fi tting on the tool.

• Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets.

• Set the air pressure to the minimum recommended operating pressure. Never use a tool that leaks or has damaged parts. Cold weather operation When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:

• Keep the tool as warm as possible before use.

• Disconnect the airline from the tool.

• Put 10 to 15 drops of D EWALT pneumatic tool oil (or winter-weight pneumatic oil containing ethylene glycol) into the air inlet.

• Set the air pressure to a maximum of 5.5 bar.

• Connect the air hose to the fi tting on the tool.

• Load nails into the magazine as described below.

• Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber to lubricate the o-rings.

• Increase the air pressure to the normal operating level.

• Use the tool in the normal manner. Hot weather operation The tool should operate normally. Avoid the heat of direct sunlight to avoid damage to the bumpers, o-rings, and other rubber parts. Loading the tool (fi g. C) Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before loading fasteners.

• Lock the nail pusher (11) in the back position.

• Select an appropriate collated nail stick. See “Technical data”.

• Insert collated nail stick (s) into the loading slot on top of the magazine.

• Unlatch the nail pusher by pulling rearward and carefully slide the nail pusher forward to press against the nails. Actuating the tool (fi g. D) These tools are equipped with a trigger/lock-off switch (1). When rotated to the right, this switch prevents the tool from actuating. When the switch is centred, the tool will be fully operational. The tool can be operated using one of two modes: sequential action mode or bump action mode. The trigger installed on the tool determines the mode of actuation. Sequential action mode The sequential action mode is used for intermittent nailing when very careful and accurate placement is desired.

• Fit the grey trigger as described above.

• Push the contact trip against the work surface.

• Pull the trigger to actuate the tool. Each trigger pull with the contact trip pushed against the work surface will drive one nail.25 ENGLISH Bump action The bump action mode is used for rapid nailing on fl at, stationary surfaces.

• Fit the black trigger as described above.

• To drive a single nail: Operate the tool as described for sequential action.

• To drive several nails: Pull the trigger fi rst, and then push the contact trip repeatedly against the work surface. Do not keep the trigger depressed when the tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off switch rotated to the right to prevent accidental actuation when the tool is not in use. Dry fi re lockout To protect the tool from damage, these tools are equipped with a dry fi re lockout. The dry fi re lockout prevents the tool from actuating when the magazine is nearly empty. When approximately 4 or 5 nails remain in the magazine and the tool ceases to operate, follow the loading instructions to load sticks of collated nails. See “Loading the tool”. Clearing a jammed nail (fi g. E) If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, follow these instructions to remove the nail:

• Disconnect the airline from the tool.

• Lock the trigger with the trigger lock-off switch.

• Remove all nails from the magazine.

• Flip up the cam latch (12).

• Push and hold the cam latch fi rmly inward as shown by the arrow (13) until the narrow portion of the latch pin (14) is exposed.

• At the same time, slide the magazine (4) rearward as shown by the arrow (15) to expose the bent nail.

• Remove the bent nail, using pliers if necessary.

• If the driver blade is in the down position, push the driver blade upward using a screwdriver.

• If the nail cannot be removed with the magazine retracted to the fi rst stop, remove the magazine from the tool entirely. This can be accomplished by holding the cam latch (12) fi rmly inward while pulling the magazine rearward until it separates from the tool.

• To reattach the magazine, insert the latch pin (14) into the magazine bracket, align the front end of the magazine with the nosepiece pegs (16), push inward on the cam latch (12) and slide the magazine onto the tool.

• Slide the magazine forward to the fully closed position.

• Press the cam latch (12) into the locked position.

• Connect the air hose to the fi tting on the tool.

• Load nails into the magazine. See “Loading the tool”. If nails become jammed in the nosepiece frequently, have the tool serviced by an authorised D EWALT service centre. Depth Setting (fi g. F) To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:

• Disconnect air supply.
