debris, collation material, or dust

which could harm operator’s eyes.

The operator and all those persons in the

general area should wear safety glasses

with permanently attached side shields.

Approved safety glasses are imprinted

with the characters “Z87.1”. It is the

employer’s responsibility to enforce the

use of eye protection equipment by the

tool operator and other people in the work

area. (Fig. A)

• Always wear appropriate head

protection. Head protection must

conform with ANSI Z89.1 standard.

• Always wear appropriate personal

hearing and other protection during

use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)

• Use only clean, dry, regulated air.

Conden sation from an air compressor can

rust and damage the internal workings of

the tool. (Fig. B)

• Regulate air pressure. Use air

pressure compatible with ratings on

the nameplate of the tool. (Not to

exceed 120 psi, 8.3 bar) Do not connect

English

the tool to a compressor rated at over 200 psi. The tool operating

pressure must never exceed 200 psi even in the event of regulator

failure. (Fig. C)

• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working

pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the

maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. (Fig. D)

• Do not use bottled gases to power this

FIG. G

tool. Bottled compressed gases such as

oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen,

hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are

not for use with pneumatic tools. Never

use combustible gases or any other

reactive gas as a power source for this tool.

Danger of explosion and/or serious

personal injury may result. (Fig. E)

• Use couplings that relieve all pressure

from the tool when it is disconnected

from the power supply. Use hose

connectors that shut off air supply from

compressor when the tool is disconnected.

(Fig. F)

• Disconnect tool from air supply when

not in use. Always disconnect tool

from air supply and remove fasteners

from canister before leaving the area

or passing the tool to another operator.

Do not carry tool to another work area

in which changing location involves

the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,

and the like, with air supply connected.

Do not make adjustments, remove

canister, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners

while connected to the air supply. If the contact trip is adjusted

when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded,

accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)

• Connect tool to air supply before

loading fasteners, to prevent a

fastener from being fired during

connection. The tool driving mechanism

may cycle when tool is connected to

the air supply. Do not load fasteners

with trigger or contact trip depressed, to

prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or

otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or

contact trip to become inoperable.

Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip

in the on position. Do not remove spring

from contact trip. Make daily inspections

for free movement of trigger and contact

trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.

• Inspect tool before use. Do not

operate a tool if any portion of the tool,

trigger, or contact trip is inoperable,

disconnected, altered, or not working

properly. Leaking air, damaged parts

or missing parts should be repaired or

replaced before use. (Fig.H)

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any

way. (Fig. I)

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs

sections for detailed information on

the proper maintenance of the tool

• Always operate the tool in a clean,

lighted area. Be sure the work surface

is clear of any debris and be careful not

to lose footing when working in elevated

environments such as rooftops.

• Do not drive fasteners near edge

of material. The workpiece may split

causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring

you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail

may follow the grain of the wood (shiner),

causing it to protrude unexpectedly from

the side of the work material. Drive the

nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce

risk of injury. (Fig. N)

• Do not drive nails onto the heads

of other fasteners or with the tool

at too steep an angle. Personal injury

from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or

ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. O)

• Be aware of material thickness when

using the nailer. A protruding nail may

cause injury.

• Be aware that when the tool is being

utilized at pressures on the high end

of its operating range, nails can be

driven completely through thin or

very soft work material. Make sure the

pressure in the compressor is set so that

• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time.

No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement.

(Fig. J)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When

tool is not in use, it should be locked in a

safe place, out of the reach of children.

• Remove finger from trigger when

not driving fasteners. Never carry

tool with finger on trigger. Accidental

discharge could result. Using the trigger

lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper

footing and balance at all times. Loss of

balance may cause cause personal injury.

(Fig. K)

• Make sure hose is free of obstructions

or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses

can cause loss of balance or footing. Do

not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.

• Use the tool only for its intended use.

Do not discharge fasteners into open

air, concrete, stone, extremely hard

woods, knots or any material too

hard for the fastener to penetrate.

Do not use the body of the tool or top

cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners

may follow unexpected path and cause

injury. (Fig. L)

• Always keep fingers clear of contact

trip to prevent injury from inadvertent

release of nails. (Fig. M)

FIG. S

immediate work area. Hold workpiece

with clamps when necessary to keep

hands and body out of potential harm. Be

sure the workpiece is properly secured

before pressing the nailer against the

material. The contact trip may cause the

work material to shift unexpectedly.

(Fig.Q)

• Do not use tool in the presence of

flammable dust, gases or fumes. The

tool may produce a spark that could

ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail

into another nail may also cause a spark.

(Fig.R)

• Keep face and body parts away from

back of the tool cap when working

in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can

result in impact to the body, especially

when nailing into hard or dense material.

(Fig. S)

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control

while allowing tool to recoil away

from work surface as fastener is

driven. In “Contact Actuation Mode” if

contact trip is allowed to recontact work

surface before trigger is released an

unwanted fastener will be fired.

• Choice of triggering method is

important. Check the manual for triggering options. Always select

the trigger method that is appropriate to the fastener application

and the training of the operator.

CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER

• When using the contact action

trigger, be careful of unin tentional

double fires resulting from tool

recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be

driven if the contact trip is allowed to

accidentally re-contact the work surface.

(Fig. T)

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:

• Do not engage the tool against the

work surface with a strong force.

• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.

• Use sequential action trigger.

• When “contact” actuating the framing nailer, always

keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can

result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.

SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER

• When using the sequential action

FIG. U

trigger, do not actuate the tool

unless the tool is placed firmly

against the workpiece.

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls,

floors or other work areas. Fasteners

driven into live electrical wires, plumbing,

or other types of obstructions can result

in injury. (Fig.U)

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while

tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask

if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY

EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA/Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

OPERATION

Preparing the Tool (Fig. 2, 3)

WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions

at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection

when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself

and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures

and checks before each use of the nailer.

1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks

have been properly drained.

2. Lubricate the tool following these directions:

a. Use D

eWALT pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20

weight oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will

damage o-rings and rubber parts.

b. Use a filter-regulator-lubricator in the air line between the

compressor and the tool when possible.

c. If a lubricator is not available, add 5 to 10 drops of oil in the air

fitting a least twice a day or every 4 hours of use.

FIG. 2

FIG. 3

3. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.

English

6

4. Remove all fasteners from the canister.

5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip. Do not

use tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use

a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the up position.

6. Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed

recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.

7. Connect air hose.

8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a

tool that leaks or has damaged parts.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool

from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed

fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or

handing the tool to another person.

Mode Selection

WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA

Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating

this tool.

WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving

fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on

trigger. In contact mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped

while trigger is depressed.

Sequential Trip: Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the

contact tip against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This

makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows

exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second

fastener on recoil, as described under Contact Trip. The sequential

trip tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally

drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or

anything else while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

Contract Trip: The common operating procedure on contact trip

tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate

the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving

a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid

fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking

and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when

driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if

unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger

still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted

second fastener will be driven.

TO CHANGE OPERATING MODES (FIG. 1, 4, 5)

WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners

from canister before making adjustments or personal injury may result.

WARNING: Always know the tool operating mode before

connecting to an air supply and/or using the tool.

To operate the nailer in contact trip mode:

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.

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use.

Loading the Tool (Fig. 1, 6)

WARNING: Disconnect tool to air supply before loading

fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during

connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is

connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with trigger or

contact trip depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.

WARNING: Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when loading

nails.

WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger

activated.

1. Open the canister: Pull down door latch and swing door/canister

cover outward.

2. Check Adjustment: The nailer must be set for the length of nail to

be used. Nails will not feed smoothly if the canister is not correctly

adjusted. The canister contains an adjustable nail platform on

pneumatiques. Ne jamais utiliser de gaz

combustibles ou tout autre type de gaz

réactif comme source d’énergie pour cet

outil. Leur utilisation représente un

danger d’explosion et peut se solder par

des blessures corporelles. (fig. E)

• Utiliser des raccords qui libèrent

toute la pression de l’outil lorsqu’il est

débranché de la source d’alimentation.

Utiliser des connecteurs de tuyau

qui coupent l’alimentation d’air du

compresseur quand l’outil est débranché.

(fig. F)

• Déconnecter l’outil de l’air comprimé

après utilisation. Déconnecter

systématiquement l’outil de l’air

comprimé puis retirer les attaches

du magasin avant de quitter l’aire

de travail ou de passer l’outil à un

autre utilisateur. Ne pas transporter

l’outil, alors qu’il est connecté à l’air

comprimé, sur d’autres lieux de

travail si cela implique l’utilisation

d’échafaudages, d’escaliers,

d’échelles ou tout autre moyen

d’accès similaire. N’effectuer aucun

réglage ou maintenance, ou retrait

du magasin ou des attaches enrayées,

alors que l’outil est connecté à l’air

comprimé. Si un réglage est effectué

sur le déclencheur par contact alors que

l’outil est connecté à l’air comprimé alors

• Toujours porter des protecteurs d’oreilles appropriés et

autres dispositifs de protection durant l’utilisation. Selon les

conditions et la durée d’utilisation, le bruit émis par cet outil peut

causer une perte auditive. (fig. A)

• Utiliser uniquement de l’air propre, sec

et régulé. La conden sation provenant

d’un compresseur d’air peut faire rouiller

et endommager les composantes internes

de l’outil. (fig. B)

• Réguler la pression d’air. Utiliser

une pression compatible avec la

pression nominale indiquée sur la

fiche signalétique de l’outil. (Ne doit

pas excéder 120 psi, 8,3 bars.) Ne pas

raccorder l’outil à un compresseur d’une

puissance nominale supérieure à 200 psi.

La pression de fonctionnement de l’outil

ne doit jamais excéder 200 psi même

dans l’éventualité d’une défaillance du

régulateur. (fig. C)

• Utiliser exclusivement un tuyau

d’air prévu pour une pression de

fonctionnement maximale d’au moins

10,3 bars (150 psi) ou 150 % de la

pression maximale du système, selon

la pression la plus élevée. (Fig. D)

• Ne pas utiliser de gaz en bouteille pour

faire fonctionner cet outil. Les gaz

comprimés en bouteille comme l’oxygène,

le bioxyde de carbone, l’azote, l’hydrogène,

le propane, l’acétylène ou l’air ne doivent

pas être utilisés avec les outils

que les clous sont chargés, une libération accidentelle pourrait

subvenir. (Fig. G)

• Brancher l’outil à la source d’alimentation en air avant

de charger les attaches afin de prévenir qu’une attache

soit éjectée au cours du branchement. Le mécanisme

d’entraînement de l’outil peut être mis en cycle lorsque l’outil est

branché à la source d’alimentation en air. Ne pas enfoncer la

détente ou le déclencheur lors du chargement des attaches pour

prévenir un clouage par inadvertance.

• Ne pas retirer, modifier ou rendre non fonctionnel, l’outil, la

détente ou le déclencheur de l’outil de quelque façon que

ce soit. Ne pas fixer de ruban ou d’attache sur la détente ou le

déclencheur pour le maintenir en position de MARCHE. Ne pas

retirer le ressort du déclencheur. Inspecter quotidiennement le bon

fonctionnement de la détente et du déclencheur. Une décharge

non contrôlée pourrait survenir.

• Inspecter l’outil avant de l’utiliser. Ne pas faire fonctionner un

outil si une partie de l’outil, de la détente ou du déclencheur

n’est pas fonctionnelle, est débranchée, modifiée ou ne

fonctionne pas correctement. Les fuites d’air ainsi que les

pièces endommagées ou manquantes doivent être réparées ou

remplacées avant utilisation. (fig. H)

• Ne pas transformer ou modifier l’outil de quelque façon que

ce soit. (fig. I)

• Toujours considérer que l’outil contient des attaches.

• Ne jamais pointer l’outil en direction d’un collègue de

travail ou de soi-même. Pas de chamaillerie! Toujours travailler

prudemment! Respecter l’outil en tant qu’élément essentiel au

travail. (fig. J)

• Tenir les spectateurs, les enfants et les visiteurs à l’écart

durant l’utilisation d’un outil mécanique. Les distractions

peuvent entraîner une perte de maîtrise. Verrouiller l’outil dans un

endroit sûr, hors de la portée des enfants lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé.

• Enlever le doigt de la détente lorsque vous ne clouez pas. Ne

jamais transporter l’outil avec le doigt sur la détente. Cette

pratique pourrait se solder par une décharge intempestive. Utiliser le

bouton de verrouillage de la détente pour empêcher une décharge

intempestive

• Ne pas tendre le bras trop loin. Il faut

FIG. M

demeurer bien campé sur ses pieds et en

équilibre en tout temps. Une perte

d’équilibre risquerait d’entraîner une

blessure corporelle. (fig. K)

• S’assurer que le tuyau est exempt de

toute obstruction ou déchirure. Les

tuyaux embrouillés ou tordus pourraient

faire perdre l’équilibre ou perdre pied. Ne

pas soulever, tirer ou abaisser l’outil par le

tuyau.

• N’utiliser l’outil que pour les travaux

pour lesquels il a été conçu; ne pas

décharger les attaches à l’air libre ni

dans des matériaux durs, comme le

béton, la pierre, le bois ou les noeuds

ou tout autre matériel trop difficile à

pénétrer. Ne pas utiliser le corps de

l’outil ou le couvercle supérieur en

guise de marteau. Les attaches éjectées

peuvent suivre une trajectoire inattendue et

causer des blessures. (fig. L)

• Toujours garder les doigts éloignés

du déclencheur par contact afin

d’éviter une décharge accidentelle

et les risques de blessure. (fig. M)

• Consulter les sections Entretien

et Réparations pour obtenir les

renseignements détaillés sur

l’entretien approprié de l’outil.

• Toujours utiliser l’outil dans un endroit

propre et bien éclairé; s’assurer que la

surface de travail est exempte de débris et

prendre soin de ne pas perdre l’équilibre

lorsqu’on travaille dans un endroit surélevé,

tel un toit.

• Ne pas enfoncer les attaches près des

bords de la pièce; celle-ci pourrait se

fractionner, ce qui risque de faire ricocher

l’attache et de blesser quelqu’un, y compris

l’utilisateur ou un collègue de travail.

S’assurer de ne pas enfoncer l’attache en

direction du fil du bois afin qu’il ne dépasse

pas le bord de la pièce. Enfoncer le clou

perpendiculaire au fil du bois afin de réduire

les risques de blessure. (fig. N)

• Ne pas enfoncer de clous sur les têtes

d’autres attaches ou à un angle trop

aigu. Cette pratique peut se solder par une

blessure corporelle provoquée par un recul,

un coincement d’attache ou un ricochet de

clou. (fig. O)

• S’informer de l’épaisseur du matériau

lorsque vous utilisez une cloueuse. Un

clou en saillie peut causer des blessures.

• Être conscient que lorsque l’outil est

utilisé à des pressions du côté élevé

de sa gamme de fonctionnement, les

clous peuvent passer complètement

à travers un matériau mince ou très

souple. S’assurer que la pression dans le

compresseur est réglée de sorte que les

clous sont fixés dans le matériau et non

poussés entièrement dans celui-ci. (Fig. P)

• Garder les mains et les parties du

corps éloignées de la zone de travail

immédiate. Au besoin, maintenir la pièce

à travailler avec des serres afin de garder

les mains et les parties du corps éloignées

du danger potentiel. S’assurer que la pièce

à travailler est adéquatement fixée avant de

pousser la cloueuse contre sa surface. Le

déclencheur peut entraîner le déplacement

inopiné de la pièce à travailler. (fig. Q)

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil en présence de

poussières, de gaz ou d’émanations

inflammables. L’outil peut générer une

étincelle qui risque d’enflammer les gaz,

provoquant ainsi un incendie. Une étincelle

peut également survenir si un clou est

enfoncé sur un autre clou. (fig. R)

• Garder le visage et les parties du corps

éloignés de l’arrière du couvercle de

l’outil lorsque le travail est effectué

dans des endroits restreints. Un recul soudain peut entraîner

un impact au corps, particulièrement durant un clouage dans des

matériaux durs ou denses. (fig. S)
