debris, collation material, or dust

which could harm operator’s eyes.

The operator and all those persons in the

general area should wear safety glasses

with permanently attached side shields.

Approved safety glasses are imprinted

with the characters “Z87.1”. It is the

employer’s responsibility to enforce the

use of eye protection equipment by the

tool operator and other people in the work

area. (Fig. A)

• Always wear appropriate head

protection. Head protection must

conform with ANSI Z89.1 standard.

• Always wear appropriate personal

hearing and other protection during

use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)

• Use only clean, dry, regulated air.

Condensation from an air compressor can

rust and damage the internal workings of

the tool. (Fig. B)

• Regulate air pressure. Use air

pressure compatible with ratings on

the nameplate of the tool. (Not to

exceed 120 psi, 8.3 bar) Do not connect

English

the tool to a compressor rated at over 200 psi. The tool operating

pressure must never exceed 200 psi even in the event of regulator

failure. (Fig. C)

• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working

pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the

maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. (Fig. D)

• Do not use bottled gases to power this FIG. E

FIG. G

tool. Bottled compressed gases such as

oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen,

hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are

not for use with pneumatic tools. Never

use combustible gases or any other

reactive gas as a power source for this tool.

Danger of explosion and/or serious

personal injury may result. (Fig. E)

• Use couplings that relieve all pressure

from the tool when it is disconnected

from the power supply. Use hose

connectors that shut off air supply from

compressor when the tool is disconnected.

(Fig. F)

• Disconnect tool from air supply when

not in use. Always disconnect tool

from air supply and remove fasteners

from magazine before leaving the

area or passing the tool to another

operator. Do not carry tool to another

work area in which changing location

involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs,

ladders, and the like, with air supply

connected. Do not make adjustments,

remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear jammed

fasteners while connected to the air supply. If the contact trip is

adjusted when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are

loaded, accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)

• Connect tool to air supply before

loading fasteners, to prevent a

fastener from being fired during

connection. The tool driving mechanism

may cycle when tool is connected to

the air supply. Do not load fasteners

with trigger or contact trip depressed, to

prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or

otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or

contact trip to become inoperable.

Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip

in the on position. Do not remove spring

from contact trip. Make daily inspections

for free movement of trigger and contact

trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.

• Inspect tool before use. Do not

operate a tool if any portion of the tool,

trigger, or contact trip is inoperable,

disconnected, altered, or not working

properly. Leaking air, damaged parts

or missing parts should be repaired or

replaced before use. (Fig.H) A tool that is

not in proper working order must not be

used. Tags and physical segregation shall

be used for control.

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)

FIG. H

English

• Always keep fingers clear of contact

trip to prevent injury from inadvertent

release of nails. (Fig. M)

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs

sections for detailed information on

the proper maintenance of the tool

• Always operate the tool in a clean,

lighted area. Be sure the work surface

is clear of any debris and be careful not

to lose footing when working in elevated

environments such as rooftops.

• Do not actuate tool unless tool is

placed firmly against the workpiece.

• Do not drive fasteners near edge

of material. The workpiece may split

causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring

you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail

may follow the grain of the wood (shiner),

causing it to protrude unexpectedly from

the side of the work material. Drive the

nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce

risk of injury. (Fig. N)

• Do not drive nails onto the heads

of other fasteners or with the tool

at too steep an angle. Personal injury

from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or

ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. O)

• Be aware of material thickness when

using the nailer. A protruding nail may

cause injury.

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time.

No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement.

(Fig. J)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions

can cause you to lose control. When tool

is not in use, it should be locked in a safe

place, out of the reach of children.

• Remove finger from trigger when

not driving fasteners. Never carry

tool with finger on trigger. Accidental

discharge could result.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper

footing and balance at all times. Loss of

balance may cause cause personal injury.

(Fig. K)

• Make sure hose is free of obstructions

or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses

can cause loss of balance or footing. Do

not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.

• Use the tool only for its intended use.

Do not discharge fasteners into open

air, concrete, stone, extremely hard

woods, knots or any material too

hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do

not use the body of the tool or top

cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners

may follow unexpected path and cause

injury. (Fig. L)

• Be aware that when the tool is being

utilized at pressures on the high end

of its operating range, nails can be

driven completely through thin or

very soft work material. Make sure

the pressure in the compressor is set so

that nails are set into the material and not

pushed completely through. (Fig. P)

• Keep hands and body parts clear of

immediate work area. Hold workpiece

with clamps when necessary to keep

hands and body out of potential harm. Be

sure the workpiece is properly secured

before pressing the nailer against the

material. The contact trip may cause

the work material to shift unexpectedly.

(Fig.Q)

• Do not use tool in the presence of

flammable dust, gases or fumes. The

tool may produce a spark that could

ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail

into another nail may also cause a spark.

(Fig.R)

• Keep face and body parts away from

back of the tool cap when working

in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can

result in impact to the body, especially

when nailing into hard or dense material.

(Fig. S)

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to

recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In

“Contact Actuation Mode” if contact trip is allowed to recontact

work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will

be fired.

• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual

for triggering options. Always select the trigger method that is

appropriate to the fastener application and the training of the

operator.

CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER

• When using the contact action

trigger, be careful of unintentional

double fires resulting from tool

recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be

driven if the contact trip is allowed to

accidentally re-contact the work surface.

(Fig. T)

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:

• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a

strong force.

• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.

• Use sequential action trigger.

• When “contact” actuating the framing nailer, always

keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can

result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.

SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER

• When using the sequential action

FIG. U

trigger, do not actuate the tool

unless the tool is placed firmly

against the workpiece.

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls,

floors or other work areas. Fasteners

driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of

obstructions can result in injury. (Fig.U)

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while

tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask

if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY

EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA/Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

OPERATION

Preparing the Tool (Fig. 2, 3)

WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions

at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection

when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself

and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures

and checks before each use of the nailer.

1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks

have been properly drained.

2. Lubricate the tool following these directions:

a. Use D

WALT pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20

weight oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will

damage o-rings and rubber parts.

b. Use a filter-regulator-lubricator in the air line between the

compressor and the tool when possible.

English

c. If a lubricator is not available, add 5 to 10 drops of oil in the air

fitting a least twice a day or every 4 hours of use.

FIG. 2 FIG. 3

3. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.

4. Remove all fasteners from the magazine.

5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and

pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assembly is not

functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the contact trip

restrained in the up position.

6. Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed

recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.

7. Connect air hose.

8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a

tool that leaks or has damaged parts.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool

from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed

fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or

handing the tool to another person.

Mode Selection

WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA

Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating

this tool.

WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving

fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on

trigger. In contact mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped

while trigger is depressed.

Sequential Trip: Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the

contact tip against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This

makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows

exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second

fastener on recoil, as described under Contact Trip. The sequential

trip tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally

drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or

anything else while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

Contract Trip: The common operating procedure on contact trip

tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate

the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving

a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid

fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking

and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when

driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if

unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger

still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted

second fastener will be driven.

TO CHANGE OPERATING MODES (FIG. 1, 4, 5)

WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners

from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may

result.

English

WARNING: Always know the tool operating mode before

connecting to an air supply and/or using the tool.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP-

1. Push and hold in pivot pin (I) opposite

the selector, while rotating the selector (J)

180° counterclockwise to the sequential

2. Ensure the selector is fully seated in the

new position.

To operate the nailer in sequential trip

mode:

1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the

work surface.

2. Depress the trigger.

WARNING: A nail will fire each time the

trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.

CONTACT TRIP -

1. Push and hold in pivot pin (I) while rotating

the selector (J) 180° clockwise to the

contact trip position .

2. Ensure the selector is fully seated in the

new position.

To operate the nailer in contact trip mode:

1. Depress the trigger.

2. Push the contact trip against the

work surface. As long as the trigger is

depressed, the tool will fire a nail every

time the contact trip is depressed. This

allows the user to drive multiple nails in

sequence.

FIG. 4

FIG. 5

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use.

Loading the Tool (Fig. 1, 6)

WARNING: Connect tool to air supply before loading

fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during

connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is

connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with trigger or

contact trip depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.

WARNING: Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when loading

nails.

WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger

activated.
