- Instantaneous (Single-Shot): For precise placement of individual nails. The trigger must be released and pressed for each nail.
- Sequential (Bump-Fire): For faster nailing. Hold the trigger and press the nose against the workpiece to fire nails sequentially.
Operating Instructions
1. General Operation

- Ensure the workpiece is stable and secure.
- Place the non-marring nose of the nailer firmly against the surface where the nail is to be driven.

- Instantaneous: Press the trigger to fire a single nail. Release the trigger before repositioning for the next nail.
- Sequential: Hold the trigger down and press the nose against the workpiece to fire nails. Lift the tool slightly to reset for the next nail.
- Apply consistent pressure to the tool to ensure proper nail depth.
2. Depth Adjustment
Adjust the nail depth to suit your application. Consult the tool's specific depth adjustment mechanism, typically a dial or lever near the nose, to set the desired nail protrusion or countersink.
