the immediate work surface and are not
intended to be used as flashlights.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: The headlights will flash four consecutive times and then
shut down to indicate low battery.
JAMMED NAIL INDICATOR: The headlights will flash continually if a nail becomes
jammed in the nosepiece (see Clearing a Jammed Nail).

Cold Weather Operation

When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
2. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber before using.

Hot Weather Operation

Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat
can deteriorate bumpers and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.
Suspension Hook (Fig. 12)
WARNING: Remove nails from magazine before making any
adjustments or servicing this tool. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
disconnect battery pack from tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, servicing, or moving
the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a
stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
