SEQUENTIAL ACTION
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate placement is
desired.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Flip the switch located on the body of the tool just between the trigger and magazine to
the left, as shown in Figure 6.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor will
FIG. 6
start).
3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
CAUTION: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a
trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both the contact trip
and trigger after each nail.
BUMP ACTION
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces.
When using bump action, two methods are available: place actuation and bump
actuation.
Flip the switch located on the body of the tool just between the trigger
FIG. 7
and magazine to the right as shown in Figure 7.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:
CAUTION: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as
the contact trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the
tool will fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive
multiple nails in sequence.
CAUTION: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the contact trip
lock-off engaged in the locked position when the tool is not in use.
Preparing the Tool
CAUTION: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside
the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool.
NOTE: The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Follow instructions outlined (see
Charging Procedures).
1. Read the Safety Instruction section of this manual.
2. Wear eye and ear protection.
3. Ensure magazine is empty of all fasteners.
4. 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 actuated position.
5. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
6. Insert fully charged battery pack.
Using the Contact Trip Lock-off (Fig. 8, 9)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT keep trigger
depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the contact trip lock-off switch LOCKED (Fig. 8) when
the tool is not in use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, lock off the contact trip, disconnect
battery pack from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments.
Serious personal injury may result.
WARNING: Always wear eye and ear protection when operating tool.
Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a contact trip lock-off (B) which when pulled downward
with the lock symbol showing as shown, prevents the tool from firing a nail.
When the contact trip lock-off is folded in as shown, the tool will be fully operational. The
contact trip lock-off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments are made or
when tool is not in immediate use.
NOTE: Tools equipped with selective actuation, when in bump fire mode will allow the motor to
start upon trigger pull. This is normal operation. The contact trip lock-off constrains the contact
trip from discharging a nail.
