2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact ele-
ment against the workpiece.
• No. 1 method is for intermittent nailing, when you
wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately.
No. 2 method is for continuous nailing.
CAUTION:
• However when the tool is set to the "Intermittent
Nailing" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A
HALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailing
could occur, if contact element is allowed to re-con-
tact against the workpiece or the other surface
under the influence of recoil.
In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform as
follows;
A. Do not place the contact element against the work-
piece with excessive force.
B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds after
nailing.
• For No. 1 method, set the change lever to the
position.
For No. 2 method, set the change lever to the
position.
After using the change lever to change the nailing
method, always make sure that the change lever is
properly set to the position for the desired nailing
method.
