3. Clear jam, and push driver blade back up to
its normal position.

■ Squeeze the trigger and move the tool along the workpiece
with a bouncing motion, depressing the work contacting element
at the points where you want to insert a fastener.
■ Keep the trigger depressed and continue to bounce the work
contacing element against the workpiece, positioning the tool
above as carefully as possible.
