4. Slide the barrel back to the semi-
closed position. Never attempt to
close the tool by exerting force on
the front end of the barrel. Never
place your hand, fingers or any
other body part over the fastener
loading end of the tool.
5. Hold the tool perpendicular (90°) to
the work surface with both hands
and press firmly to fully depress the
tool. Maintain firm downward
pressure on the tool with both
hands and pull the trigger to drive
the fastener. DO NOT DEPRESS
THE TOOL AGAINST ANYTHING
OTHER THAN THE INTENDED
WORK SURFACE. Holding the tool
firmly in place will produce more
consistent fastening quality and
minimize tool wear or damage.
6. After making the fastening, point the
tool in a safe direction, and snap the
tool downward to cause the barrel
to move to the open position. This
action ejects the fired load case and
properly resets the piston for the
next fastening. Should a fired load
fail to eject, open and close the tool
several times to loosen the load in
the chamber, then remove the load
with your fingers. Never attempt to
pry an unfired load out of the
tool chamber. The load could be
caused to discharge resulting in a
serious injury or death to the tool
operator or to a bystander.
7. Insert another fastener in the
muzzle end of the tool before
inserting a new powder load into the
chamber. Always insert the
fastener into the tool before
inserting the powder load. Keep
your finger off of the trigger until the
tool is in position to drive the
fastener.
Never carelessly discard or
throw unfired powder loads into
a trash container.
