4.Once the nail is loaded, secure the workpiece with clamps.

CAUTION: Use a scrap piece of wood to test the potential of marring your workpiece when using finish nails.

5.Use your free hand to steady the point of the nail at the desired location on the workpiece.

WARNING! Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and hearing protection.

6.Press the Trigger, applying enough force to partially drive the nail into the workpiece (far enough into the workpiece so that the nail does not wobble.)

7.Move your hand away from the nail before activating the Auto Hammer again.

8.Press the Trigger again and continue to do so until the nail head is flush with the workpiece.

WARNING! Do not force the tool or apply side pressure with your free hand. Use only one hand to hold the tool during use.

9.During use, avoid hammering nails into knots in wood or similar grain patterns. Doing so can make it difficult for the Auto Hammer to drive the nails.

WARNING! Do not place your hand or fingers near the nail head while the tool is hammering. Use your hand to hold the nail only during the initial firing.

10.Avoid driving nails close to the edges of the workpiece. This can cause the wood to splinter or split.

11.Be careful when driving nails close to the edge of the workpiece. Driving the nail too far can damage the workpiece.
