the workpiece even you hold the pin nailer head,

Anti dry fire mechanism
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 loading the pin nails.
When the numbers of remaining pin nails in the mag-
azine are between 0 - 3 pieces, the switch trigger can
no longer be pulled. At this time, insert a new strip of
pin nails in the magazine and the switch trigger can be
pulled again.
NOTE: When firing a different length of pin nails
shortly after the anti dry fire mechanism has worked,
insert a new strip of pin nails into the magazine and
fire away all the prior pin nails that have remained on
junk material.
Checking remaining pin nails
You can check the amount of remaining pin nails
through the sight window.
The red indicator moves towards the firing opening as
the amount of remaining nails becomes smaller.
