3.Depress the safety nose mechanism against your workpiece.

4.Before pulling the trigger, make sure your free hand and other body parts are positioned out of the way of a potential path of a nail in case of deflec- tion.

Deflection is caused when grain irregularities, knots, or foreign objects inside the wood cause the nail to change its path, resulting in the nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 5.

Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the nail deflects.

Adjusting Depth

The depth of nail penetration is adjusted with the cap screw that secures the safety nose.

To adjust the depth:

1.DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!

2.Using a 4mm hex wrench, loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 6.

3.Move the safety nose away from the nailer to decrease nail depth, and toward the nailer to increase nail depth.

Figure 5. Example of nail deflection.

5.Pull the trigger.

—If the nail drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations.

—If the nail either went too far or not far enough, then go to the Adjusting Depth section on this page.

4.Re-tighten the cap screw, then connect the nailer to the air supply and test the nail depth.

5.Repeat Steps 2–4, if necessary, until the nail depth is satisfactory.
