WARNING:
During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener. This is
a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt
to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against
the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a
second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip
the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and
do not place second hand on top of tool or near
exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious personal injury.
USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See Figures 10 - 11.
WARNING:
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact
mechanism during operation of the tool. Doing so
could result in possible serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger
set in the
Single Sequential Actuation mode. The selectable
trigger can also be set for Contact Actuation mode.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate
fastener placement.

ment.
