5. Pull the trigger.
— If the nail/staple drove into the
wood far enough, continue with
your intended operations.
2. To test for proper nail penetration,
hold the nailer/stapler perpendicular
to the surface of a piece of clean
scrap wood that is thick enough for
the length of nails/staples you have
loaded.
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/staple in case
of deflection.
Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities, knots or foreign objects
inside the wood cause the nail/staple
to change its path, resulting in the
nail/staple 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/staple
deflects.
Figure 5. Example of nail deflection.
A depth adjustment knob is attached
to the nose for setting the nail/staple
depth.
To adjust the depth, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER/STAPLER FROM
THE AIR SUPPLY!
2. Rotate the adjustment knob (Figure
6) clockwise to increase depth or
counterclockwise to decrease depth.
Adjusting Depth
3. Connect nailer/stapler to the air
supply and test the nail depth.
Repeat this entire procedure if
necessary until the nail/staple depth
is satisfactory.

adjustment.
Adjustment Knob
— If the nail/staple either went too
far or not far enough, then go to
the Adjusting Depth section on
this page.
DO NOT place your hands near the
staple point of entry. A nail/staple
can deflect and tear through the
surface of the workpiece, puncturing
your hand or fingers.
