Firing Modes
The nail gun features two firing modes: Single Firing Mode and Contact Firing Mode. Select the desired mode using the switch located near the LED indicator.
Figure 4: Firing mode selection switch.
Single Firing Mode
- Shift the mode switch to the left side (single firing icon).
- Depress the contact pin against the workpiece.
- Squeeze the trigger to fire a single fastener.
Contact Firing Mode
- Shift the mode switch to the right side (contact firing icon).
- Squeeze the trigger.
- Depress the contact pin against the workpiece to fire fasteners continuously as the tool is moved along the surface.
Note: If the contact pin is not depressed against the workpiece before squeezing the trigger (in single firing mode) or if the trigger is not squeezed before depressing the contact pin (in contact firing mode), the nail gun will not shoot fasteners due to the safety protection device.
Depth Adjustment
Adjust the fastener driving depth using the depth adjustment wheel located near the contact pin. Turning the wheel allows you to set the desired depth for various materials and applications.
