4. Once the nail is loaded, secure the workpiece with
clamps.
CAUTION: Use a scrap piece of wood
to test the potential of marring your
workpiece when using finish nails.
5. Use your free hand to steady the point of the nail at the
desired location on the workpiece.
WARNING! Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves, and hearing protection.
6. Press the Trigger, applying enough force to partially
drive the nail into the workpiece (far enough into
the workpiece so that the nail does not wobble.)
7. Move your hand away from the nail before
activating the Auto Hammer again.
8. Press the Trigger again and continue to do so until the
nail head is flush with the workpiece.
WARNING! Do not force the tool or apply
side pressure with your free hand. Use only
one hand to hold the tool during use.
9. During use, avoid hammering nails into knots in wood
or similar grain patterns. Doing so can make it difficult
for the Auto Hammer to drive the nails.
WARNING! Do not place your hand or fingers near
the nail head while the tool is hammering. Use your
hand to hold the nail only during the initial firing.
10. Avoid driving nails close to the edges of the workpiece.
This can cause the wood to splinter or split.
11. Be careful when driving nails close to the
edge of the workpiece. Driving the nail
too far can damage the workpiece.
12. When finished using the Auto
Hammer, release the Trigger.
13. Remove the Battery Pack.
14. Clean then store the Auto Hammer indoors and out of
children’s reach.
