The adjustment knob controls nail penetra- tion by changing where the nose mecha- nism stops when depressed. Moving the nose mechanism out or extending it away from the nailer decreases nail penetration depth.
Determining the correct nail penetration depth requires trial-and-error and may change depending on the type of material you are nailing.
Single/Bump Fire
Operation
The nailer is designed to fire one nail at a time, or one after another, using the safety nose
To operate your nailer in single fire mode:
1.Depress the safety nose mechanism against the workpiece.
2.Pull the trigger, then release the trigger after the nail is driven.
To operate your nailer in bump fire mode:
1.Pull the trigger and hold it back.
2.Press the safety nose mechanism against your workpiece to fire a nail. You can continue holding the trigger back and firing the nailer in this manner without releasing the trigger.
Take care to lift the nailer from the workpiece each time you fire a nail when bump firing, or the nailer may bounce acriss the workpiece and rap- idly fire nails.
