To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air power and drive
a test nail. To achieve the desired depth, use the depth of drive
adjustment on the tool. Harder materials and longer nails will
require more force to drive the nail.
■
Remove battery pack from the tool.
■
Turn the depth of drive adjustment left or right to change the
driving depth.
■
Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the worklight
grip switch.
■
Drive a test nail after each adjustment until the desired depth
is set.
NOTE: Set depth of drive at the shallowest depth that will meet
your needs.
USING THE MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (for B16N18 only)
See Figures 8 - 9, page 4.
WARNING
Never wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism
during operation of the tool. Doing so could result in possible
serious injury.
This tool is shipped from the factory with the mode selector switch
set in the Full Sequential Actuation mode. The mode selector switch
can also be set for Contact Actuation mode.
FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Full sequential actuation provides the most accurate fastener
placement.
■
Remove battery pack from the tool.
■
Slide the selector to position (T) (for B16N18 only).
WARNING
The nailer will not function properly if the selector is not securely
seated in either position (T) or (TTT). Always assure the selector
is seated properly to avoid an unexpected nail discharge and
possible serious personal injury.
■
Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the worklight
grip switch.
■
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the nose of the
tool onto the work surface.
■
Push the tool against the work surface to depress the workpiece
contact.
■
Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
■
Always remove your finger from the trigger after the nail has
been driven.
■
Both the nosepiece contact and trigger must be released
(reset) before another nail can be fired by repeating the above
sequence.
NOTE: Hold the trigger until drive cycle is complete.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE (for B16N18 only)
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener placement.
■
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
■
Slide the selector to position (TTT).
■
Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the worklight
grip switch.
■
Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
■
Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against the work
surface to depress the workpiece contact and drive a nail. To
drive another nail, lift the tool, hold the trigger and press the
contact against the work surface again.
NOTE: Hold trigger and keep workpiece contact depressed until
drive cycle is complete.
■
Always remove your finger from the trigger when the desired
number of nails has been driven.
NOTE: In Contact Actuation Mode, the tool may also be
operated by depressing the workpiece contact against the
surface and squeezing the trigger.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after
driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do
not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the
work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener
being driven from the nailer. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine has 0-5 nails remaining, the dry-fire lockout
feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with nails.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 10, page 5.
■
To turn on the LED, press LED worklight grip switch while firmly
holding tool during operation.
DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK
The LED Worklight provides feedback to indicate whether the
battery pack is charged sufficiently and/or if the tool is functioning
properly.
If worklight is flashing, install fully charged battery. If light continues
to flash, see Troubleshooting section for more information.
If the LED light goes out on your nailer, the unit has timed out for
your protection. Lift tool from the workpiece and release trigger to
activate the nailer before beginning next drive cycle.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 11, page 5.
Remove the battery pack before removing nails or clearing a
jammed nail. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
■
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
■
To remove a strip of nails from the tool, hold the brad nailer
by the handle with your right hand, and rest your left hand
underneath the tool with your left thumb on the pusher.
■
Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the magazine until it
locks in place.
NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine to
prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher.
■
Slide the nails toward the back of the magazine and remove.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figure 12 and 13, page 5.
Remove the battery pack from the tool before clearing a jammed
fastener. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
