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 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

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)

English

• 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. F

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 FIG. H

FIG. I

FIG. J

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)

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any

way. (Fig. I)

• 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)

English

• 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 FIG. K

FIG. L

FIG. M

driving fasteners. Never carry tool

with finger on trigger. Accidental

discharge could result. Using the trigger

lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.

• 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.

• 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)

• 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 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.

• 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)

FIG. S

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.

BUMP/CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER

• When using the contact action

FIG. T

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 nailer, always keep tool in

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.

• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce

riskofseriousinjury from accidental

actuation when attempting to

adjust depth, ALWAYS;

• Disconnect air supply

• Avoid contact with trigger during

adjustments

• 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)

English

• 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

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.

CAUTION: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or

cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and

performance of the tool.

NOTE: These nailers are designed to be used without oil.

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

have been properly drained.

2. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.

3. Remove all fasteners from the magazine.

4. 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.

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

recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.

6. Connect air hose.

7. 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.

English

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.

The DWFP12233 features a selectable trigger system that allows the

user to choose between the following modes of operation

Sequential Trip

The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against

the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener

placement easier. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location

without the possibility if driving a second fastener on recoil as

described under Contact Trip. The Sequential Trip Tool has a

positive advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener

if the tool is contacted against the work surface - or anything else -

while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

Bump/Contact Trip

The common operation 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 surface is contacted. This will allow rapid

fastener placement on many jobs. All pneumatic tools are subject

to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the

trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact 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. 1–3)

WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners

from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may

result.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP ACTION

Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and

accurate placement is desired.

To operate the nailer in sequential action FIG. 2

mode:

1. Rotate the trigger mode selector (B)

clockwise to the sequential action position

, as shown in Figure 2.

2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work

surface.

3. Pull trigger.

4. Release trigger.

5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.

WARNING: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a

trigger pull for each fastener followed by a release of both the contact

trip and trigger after each fastener.

CONTACT TRIP ACTION

Bump/contact action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary

surfaces.

When using bump action, two methods are available: place

actuation and bump actuation.

English

Rotate the trigger mode selector (B) FIG. 3

counterclockwise to the contact action position

, as shown in Figure 3.

To operate the tool using the PLACE

ACTUATION method:

WARNING: A fastener will fire each time the

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

1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.

2. Depress the trigger.

To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:

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 fastener every time the

contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple

fasteners in sequence.

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

Keep the contact trip lock-off engaged in the locked position when

the tool is not in use.
