Adjusting the depth of nailing
WARNING:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before adjusting the depth of nailing.
Depth of nailing can be adjusted by turning the adjuster
on the tool. A nail drives deeper as you turn the adjuster
in the A direction shown in the figure, and shallower in
the B direction, within a range of up to 2.5 mm.

Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
Pull the switch trigger or actuate the contact element
to light up the lamp. The lamp remains lit for up to 60
seconds while pulling the switch trigger or actuating
the contact element. The lamp goes out approximately
10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger and the
contact element.

NOTICE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens
of the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp,
or it may lower the illumination.
NOTICE:
Even in the lamp lights up when the bat-
tery power residual gets small, nailer may not fire
nails. In this case, charge the battery cartridge.
NOTICE:
When the tool is overheated, the light
flashes. In this case, release the switch trigger and
contact element, and then cool down the tool/battery
before operating again.
NOTICE:
The lamp starts blinking if the nailer
detects an error during driving the nail. In this case,
bring the nailer to a Factory Service Center.
ASSEMBLY

Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or

gers are not placed on the trigger and the battery
