any other nails can result in tool malfunction, leading to serious
injuries.
Never load nails with the workpiece contact or trigger activated.
Doing so could result in possible serious personal injury.
SETTING THE AIR POWER
See Figure 6, page 4.
The amount of air power required will depend on the size of the nail
and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail into the same
type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
■ Remove battery pack from the tool.
■ Move power adjustment lever to the right to increase air power
or to the left to decrease air power.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air power
adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the depth
of drive adjustment.
DEPTH OF DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 7, page 4.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air power. It
is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the
required depth for the application.
