to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine has 0-5 nails remaining, the dry-fire

DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK
The LED Worklight provides feedback to indicate whether
the battery pack is charged sufficiently and/or if the tool is
functioning properly.
If worklight is flashing, install fully charged battery. If light
continues to flash, see Troubleshooting section for more
information.
If the LED light goes out on your nailer, the unit has timed

release trigger to reactivate the nailer before beginning next
drive cycle.

personal injury.
Driving too deeply into the material, excess debris, or jammed
nails may lead to the driver mechanism being stuck at its
bottom position.
