AEG AFNDA2565 Original Instructions Manual page 11

Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
when loading nails. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
■ Slide the pusher all the way to the rear of the
magazine. Release the pusher and allow it to push
the nails up to the driving mechanism. The pusher
will stop when it rests against the end of the nail strip.
NOTE: Do not allow the pusher to snap back into place.
Use only the nails recommended for use with this
tool. The use of 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.
Do not use nails smaller than 2.87 mm nail shank
diameter. Doing so may cause nails to exit the tool
prematurely through the guide track. Do not use
hardened nails with pneumatic tools. This could lead
to excessive wear of the guide body and allow nails
to exit the back of the guide body, leading to serious
personal injury.
USING THE SELECTABLE TRIGGER
See figure 8 - 9.
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 a selectable
trigger set in the single sequential actuation mode. The
selectable trigger can also be set for contact actuation
mode.
Note: Do not use this tool in the contact actuation mode
unless you have had training in the use of this mode of
operation. Untrained or inexperienced operators should
not use the contact actuation mode.
SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
Single sequential actuation provides the most accurate
fastener placement.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.
3. Rotate the selector to position A.
4. Release the trigger lever pivot pin.

WARNING
The nailer will not function properly if the selector is
not securely seated in either position A or B. Always
assure the selector is seated properly to avoid an
unexpected fastener discharge and possible serious
personal injury.
5. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
6. Grip the tool firmly to maintain control. Position the
nose of the tool onto the work surface.
7. Push the tool against the work surface to depress the
workpiece contact.
8. Squeeze the trigger to drive a fastener.
9. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven.
10. Always remove your finger from the trigger when the
desired number of nails has been driven.
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE (BUMP FIRE)
Contact actuation allows very fast repetitive fastener
placement.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Depress the trigger lever pivot pin.
3. Rotate the selector to position B.
4. Release the trigger lever pivot pin.
NOTE: The trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and
held in position by locking tab to prevent movement
during operation.
5. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
6. Grip the tool firmly to maintain control.
7. Squeeze and hold the trigger. Push the tool against
the work surface to depress the workpiece contact
and drive a fastener.
8. Allow the tool to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven.
9. 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.
When used in the contact actuation mode do not
carry the tool with the trigger depressed as this will
cause a fastener to discharge if the workpiece contact
accidentally bumps against an object. Failure to observe
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
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. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the
work, and do not place second hand on top of tool or
near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious personal injury.
