Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Depth of Drive

The depth of drive can be adjusted without tools to control how far the nail is driven into the workpiece.

• Locate the depth adjustment dial on the side of the nailer.
• Rotate the dial clockwise to increase the depth of drive (nails driven deeper).
• Rotate the dial counter-clockwise to decrease the depth of drive (nails driven less deep).
• Test on a scrap piece of material to achieve the desired depth before working on your project.

2. Firing the Nailer

The P320 features a sequential actuation mode for controlled firing.

1. Connect Battery: Ensure a charged battery is securely installed.
2. Position Tool: Place the nose of the nailer firmly against the workpiece where the nail is to be driven.
3. Engage Safety: The contact trip must be depressed against the workpiece before the trigger can be pulled.
4. Fire Nail: Squeeze the trigger to drive a single nail. Release the trigger and lift the tool from the workpiece to prepare for the next nail.

The built-in LED light will activate when the trigger is pulled, illuminating the work area.
