6.1 Powering On and Off
- To power on, slide the power switch to the "ON" position.
- To power off, slide the power switch to the "OFF" position. Always power off the tool when not in use or when changing fasteners.
6.2 Adjusting Nail/Staple Depth
The depth adjustment knob allows you to control how deep the fastener is driven into the material. This is crucial for different material hardnesses and desired finishes.
- Locate the depth adjustment knob, typically on the top of the tool.

- Turn the knob in the "-" direction to reduce the impact strength, driving fasteners less deeply. This is suitable for softer materials or when a flush finish is desired.
- Test the depth setting on a scrap piece of material before beginning your project.
