authorized DEWALT service center.
Cold Weather Operation
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
2. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber before using.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can
deteriorate bumpers and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.

WARNING: Remove nails from magazine before making any adjustments or servicing this
tool. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, servicing, or moving the tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will
not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand
upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
MAINTENANCE

source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

ACTION Clean magazine, pusher, and contact trip mechanism.
WHY Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces wear, and prevents jams.
HOW Blow clean with compressor air. The use of oils, lubricants periodically or solvents is not
recommended as they tend to attract debris.
ACTION Before each use, check to insure all screws, nuts and fasteners are tight and undamaged.
WHY Prevents jams and premature failure of tool parts.
HOW Tighten loose screws or other fasteners using the appropriate allen wrench or screwdriver.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week.

performing this.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. 10)
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment wheel (C) on
the side of the tool.

attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
Remove battery pack.
