Actuating Tool
WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and hearing protection
[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes: single sequential action trigger mode and
bump action trigger mode. The trigger installed on the tool as described in the Trigger section
of this manual determines the mode of operation.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER -
The sequential action trigger's intended use is for intermittent nailing where very careful and
accurate placement is desired.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
CAUTION: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip remains
depressed.
BUMP ACTION TRIGGER - (BLACK)
The bump action trigger's intended use is for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the bump action trigger, two methods are available: place actuation and bump actuation.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool
will fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple
nails in sequence.
CAUTION: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the lock-off switch
rotated to the right (OFF) when the tool is not in use.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. 5)
D51238 ONLY
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the
trigger of the tool.
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting
to adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Lock off trigger.
• Disconnect air supply.
• Depress and hold depth adjustment lock button (Q) before sliding the indexed depth
setting (J).
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
1. To drive the nail shallower, press the lock button and slide the depth adjustment bar down-
ward to the extent desired using the adjustment marks. Release the lock button.
2. To sink a nail deeper, press the lock button and slide the depth adjustment bar upward to
the extent desired using the adjustment marks. Release the lock button.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. 6)
D51236 ONLY
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the
trigger of the tool.
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting
to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
• Lock OFF trigger.
• Disconnect air supply.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the right.
2. To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the left.
Clearing a Jammed Nail (Fig. 7)
WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from tool before clearing a
jammed nail. Fasteners are under pressure and may shoot out of magazine causing personal
injury.
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool pointed away from you and follow
these instructions to clear:
1. Lock off trigger.
2. Disconnect air supply from tool and lock trigger.
3. Release pusher from behind nails.
4. Push down jam clearing latch (A) then pull up to open front door (T).
5. Remove bent nail, using pliers if necessary.
6. If driver blade is in the down position, insert screwdriver or other rod into nosepiece and push
driver blade back in position.

Cold Weather Operation (Fig. 8)
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Make sure compressor tanks have been properly drained prior to use.
2. Keep tool as warm as possible prior to use.
3. Make certain all fasteners have been removed from magazine.
4. Put 5 to 10 drops of D
5. Lower air pressure to 80 psi or less.
6. Reconnect air and and load nails into magazine.
7. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber to lubricate o-rings.
8. Turn pressure up to operating level (not to exceed 120 psi) and use tool as normal.
K
9. Re-lubricate at least once daily.
10. Always drain the compressor tanks at least once a daily.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can
deteriorate bumpers, o-rings and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Make sure tool
is in proper working condition before placing the tool back in use or serious personal injury may
result.
ACTION Lubricate tool with 5-7 drops of D
oil or additives as they will damage o-rings and rubber parts.
WHY Prevents failure of o-rings.
HOW Insert drops into air fitting on end cap of tool.
ACTION Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily.
WHY Prevents accumulation of moisture in compressor and nailer.
HOW Open petcocks or other drain valves on compressor tanks. Allow any accumulated
water to drain from hoses.
ACTION Clean magazine, pusher, and contact trip mechanism.
WHY Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces wear, and prevents jams.
HOW Blow clean with compressor air. The use of oils, lubricants periodically or solvents is
not recommended as they tend to attract debris.
ACTION Before each use, check to insure all screws, nuts and fasteners are tight and
undamaged.
WHY Prevents jams, leaks and premature failure of tool parts.
HOW Tighten loose screws or other fasteners using the appropriate allen wrench or
screwdriver.
Cleaning
CAUTION: When cleaning, use only a damp cloth on plastic parts. Many household cleaners
contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic parts and o-rings. Also, do not use
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products which may
seriously damage plastic parts and o-rings. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

ne soit fermement appuyé contre la pièce.
• RÉGLAGE DE LA PROFONDEUR (MODÈLE D51238 SEULEMENT) : pour réduire les
risques de blessures graves lors de l'actionnement intempestif de l'outil lorsqu'on
tente de régler la profondeur, TOUJOURS :
• verrouiller la détente ;
• débrancher la source d'alimentation en air ;
• tenir enfoncé le bouton de verrouillage du réglage de la profondeur (fig. U1) avant de faire
glisser le bouton de réglage de profondeur indexé (fig. U2) et ;
• éviter tout contact avec la détente lors des réglages (fig. U3).
• Ne pas enfoncer des clous à l'aveuglette dans les murs, les planchers et autres zones
