Instructions

Nail Jam: If there is a nail jam or the nailer stalls (because it used all its energy to drive a nail into very hard wood), the Jam/Stall Indicator Light will turn on. To fix:

• For a stall: Rotate the stall release lever at top of nailer. Reset nailer by taking battery off, then reinstall.
• For jammed nail: Remove battery, unload nail magazine, push "pusher latch" to bottom of magazine, loosen hex bolts at top of magazine, pull magazine forward, and clear nail.
• OR, bring it back to the library where we can help!

Speed modes: Locate the "dual speed switch" below the handle. The manufacturer recommends using speed 1 for 2 inch nails and speed 2 for all other (longer) nails. 

Bump/Sequential modes: Locate the "bump/sequential selector switch" below handle. Sequential mode is selected when only one nail is shown and will only fire off a nail when contact trip is pressed to your workpiece, then trigger is pulled. Bump mode is selected when three nails are shown and will fire off a nail when the trigger is pressed and each time the contact trip is pressed to your workpiece.

Depth Adjustment: Locate the "depth adjustment wheel" above the magazine. Turn wheel to the right to sink nails deeper; to the left to drive nails shallower.
