2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while
sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Tool/battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extend tool and battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions. In some conditions, the indicators light up.
(Fig. 2)
Overheat protection for tool
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automatically
and the indicator blinks about 60 seconds. In this
situation, let the tool cool before turning the tool on again.
Overheat protection for battery
When the battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the battery indicator lights up about 60
seconds. The tool does not start even if pulling the switch
trigger. In this situation, let the battery cool before turning
the tool on again.
NOTE:
The battery overheat protection works only with a battery
cartridge with a star marking. (Fig. 3)
Overdischarge protection
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
indicator blinks. By further use, the tool stops and the
indicator lights up about 60 seconds. In this situation,
charge the battery cartridge.
Using the trigger lock
CAUTION:
• When not in use or after operating the tool, always lock
the trigger with the trigger lock. (Fig. 4)
The tool has trigger lock to avoid accidents by an
unintentional start. The trigger lock makes the trigger
unmovable and let the tool cause no firing.
To lock the trigger, set the lock button in the "LOCK"
position.
Before nailing, set the lock button in the "FREE" position.
When not in use, always set it in the "LOCK" position and
remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Nailing mode selection (Fig. 5)
The tool has two different nailing modes. Select the
desired nailing by the mode selecting button. For more
detail, see the section "OPERATION".
Intermittent nailing (sequential mode)
This mode suits for driving a nail carefully and accurately.
Continuous/intermittent nailing (continuous mode)
When the tool is set to this mode, you can choose either
continuous or intermittent nailing by sequences of the
trigger operation.
Adjusting the nailing depth
WARNING:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails are
removed. (Fig. 6)
To get shallower depth, turn the adjuster to A direction as
shown in the figure. To get deeper depth, turn the adjuster
to B direction.
Do not turn the adjuster too much, or the adjuster may get
stuck.
Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly. (Fig. 7)
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger or place the contact
element against the workpiece. Release the trigger or
contact element to turn it off.
The lamp goes out 10 seconds after releasing the trigger
or contact element from the workpiece.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
• Even in the lamp lights up when the battery power
residual gets small, the nailer may not fire nails. In this
case, charge the battery cartridge.
