MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power product operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the product when cleaning or

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at an Authorized Service Center.

DRIVING NAILS
See Figures 4 - 6, page 9.

Secure the workpiece with clamps.
 Steady the nail at the desired point on the workpiece by
holding the nail shaft with your hand.
 Depress the trigger enough to drive the nail partially into
the workpiece. Drive the nail far enough so that it does
not wobble.
 Move your hand away from the nail.
 Depress the trigger and continue to hammer until the nail
head is flush with the workpiece.
 Do not place your hand or fingers near the nail head while
the tool is hammering. Use your hand only to hold the
nail on the workpiece at the beginning of hammering.
 Use caution at when driving the nail close to the
workpiece. You can damage the workpiece around the
nail head if the nail is driven too far.
For best results:

Do not force the tool, apply side pressure, or place your
other hand on the head of the tool.
 Do not drive nails close to the edge of the workpiece to
help prevent splintering or splitting the wood.
 Do not use the auto hammer for nailing into hard metals
or concrete.
 Do not nail into knots or other grain patterns that may
create difficulty in driving the nail.
NOTE: With extended use, nails may leave a residue on the
anvil inside the hammering head, resulting in black marks on
the workpiece. To prevent this, clean the anvil periodically.

Remove the battery pack.
 Push back the outer sleeve of the hammering head to
expose the anvil.
 Wipe the anvil with a clean, dry cloth.
