Work Lights: LED work lights indicate battery status and tool operation.
Maintenance
Use only identical replacement parts. Avoid solvents for cleaning plastic parts; use a clean cloth.
Cleaning the Fastener Channel: If fasteners are not driven properly, clean the channel with a small amount of tool air oil on a clean cloth or cotton swab to remove glue residue.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool works, but fasteners do not drive completely | Air pressure too low. Driving depth not deep enough. Nail too long for wood hardness. | Increase air pressure. Adjust driving depth. Use appropriate nail length for wood. |
| Tool works, but fasteners drive too deep | Air pressure too high. Driving depth too deep. | Decrease air pressure. Adjust driving depth. |
| Frequent tool jams | Incorrect fasteners. Damaged fasteners. Loose magazine. Dirty magazine. | Check fastener size. Replace fasteners. Tighten screws. Clean magazine. |
