Thermal Protection Mode:

Operation with a single sequence of actuation

1. Take a firm grip on the handle.
2. Squeeze and compress the workpiece contact area by pressing the tool against the work surface.
3. Then, using the trigger, drive the fastener into place. WARNING: NOTICE: To avoid serious injury, do not attempt to prevent the recoil by pressing too hard on the work with the tool.
4. Release your finger from the trigger and lift the Milwaukee 18v tool away from the workpiece.
5. Operation of the Contact (Bump) Actuation Depending on how you intend to use it, contact actuation can be performed in two different ways.

Several actions are possible:

1. Take a firm grip on the handle.
2. Pull the trigger and keep it held.
3. Press the tool against the work surface, compressing the workpiece contact to drive the fastener into the workpiece. WARNING! Don’t prevent the recoil by pressing the Milwaukee 18v tool too firmly against the work surface with your hands to avoid serious injury.
4. Maintain trigger pressure while making repeated contact with the workpiece.

Activation with a single button press:

1. Take a firm grip on the handle.
2. Squeeze and compress the workpiece contact area by pressing the tool against the work surface.

Indicator for reloading

It will not compress, which will prevent operation under normal pressure. Indicating that the magazine is almost completely depleted of fasteners (only about 4-5 left in it). Install additional pins to continue working.

WARNING During the tool’s operation, NEVER wedge or hold back the workpiece contact mechanism. To clear a jammed workpiece contact, never grab the discharge area of the device and pull it apart. This may result in injury. Don’t prevent the recoil by pressing the tool too firmly against the work surface with your hands to avoid serious injury. Keep your face away from the instrument. Keep your grip on the handle firmly. A fastener is driven into the device, and the tool immediately recoils after being forced into the fastener. A typical function of the tool is to perform this action. When the device is in Contact Actuation mode, a restriction to the recoil can result in the driving of a second fastener due to the limitation—allowing the tool to do its work without placing a second hand on the device.

Choosing the appropriate depth of drive

WARNING Understand what is going on behind the scenes of your project. In the event of a fastener travelling through the workpiece and out the other side, it could strike an innocent bystander, causing severe injury or death. Reduce the depth of drive to prevent the fastener from being pushed through the workpiece during installation. The depth of drive can be adjusted.

1.  Test a fastener with a hammer.
2. Take out the battery pack.
3. WARNING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION! When making adjustments, keep the tool away from yourself and other people. Failure to do so may result in bodily harm to the individual.
4. Move the depth selector to the left or right by one position to increase or decrease the driving depth.
5. Continue until the desired depth has been reached.

Getting a Clogged Fastener Unclogged

Most jams are contributed to by a fastener or a portion of a fastener. They become lodged between the driver blade and the nail guide (or vice versa). Fastener strips with an incorrect collation angle or a fastener gauge that is too small or too large may result in continuous jamming. To unclog the clog, do the following:

1. Take out the battery pack.
2. WARNING: Keep the tool away from yourself and others when installing or removing fasteners. This may result in bodily harm to the individual.
3. Take the fastener strip out of the magazine.
4. Using needle-nose pliers, pry the fastener out of the way. Remove the magazine from the tool if it is necessary.
5. Before restarting the work, complete the steps outlined under “Required Daily Testing.”
