_ WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dusL Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tooL Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a
fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A
charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with the
specifically designed battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts
and should also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure contact trip
lock-off is in the locked position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the
trigger or inserting the battery pack into a tool with
the trigger pulled invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to a loss of control
• Do not force tool Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool ff switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place
the switch in the locked or off position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tooL Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, bums, or a fire.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation, ff damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool

Important Safety Instructions
for Battery Packs
Your tool uses a DEWALT battery pack. When ordering
replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog
number and voltage: Extended Run-Time battery packs
deliver more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult
the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
chargers and battery packs.
NOTE: Your tool will accept either standard or Extended
Run Time battery packs. However, be sure to select proper
voltage. Batteries slowly lose their charge when they are
not on the charger, the best place to keep your battery is
on the charger at all times.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the
safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures
outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if # is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells
may occur under extreme usage or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However,
if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The
liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Charge the batterypacks only in DEWALTchargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 105°F (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
J_DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason, ff battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric
shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs
should be returned to service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps
are provided for use whenever the battery is
out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before
placing battery in charger or tool.
A WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or
carry battery so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials such as keys,
coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage)
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.
_ CAUTION: Battery pack must be securely attached to
tool ff battery pack is detached, personal injury may result.
The RBRC TM Seal
The RBRC TM (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries
(or battery packs) indicate that the costs to
recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at
the end of their useful life have already been
paid by DEWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries in the
trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC
program provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
RBRC TM in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery
users, has established programs in the United States and
Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium
and nickel metal hydride batteries. Help protect our
environment and conserve natural resources by returning
the spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries
to an authorized DEWALT service center or to your local
retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the
spent battery.
RBRCTM is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery
RecyclingCorporation.
Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains
important safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read allinstructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.
A DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at
charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
Electric shock or electrocution may result.
i_ WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.
A CAUTION: Bum hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only DEWALT nickel cadmium rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
ACAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as,
but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
• DO NOTattempt to charge the batterypack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manuaL The
charger and battery pack are specifically designed to
work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging DEWAL T rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

• Do not place any object on top of charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heal Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in
the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug
-- have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized
service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not
apply to the vehicular charger.
Using Automatic Tune-Up TM Mode
The automatic Tune-Up TM Mode equalizes or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly
or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack
no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the
automatic Tune-Up TM, place the battery pack in the charger
and leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle
through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the
1-hour charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light
will stay on continuously and will no longer blink. This
indicates that the pack isfully charged and can be used
at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour
charge, the charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up
mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the
individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The
battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at
any time during the Tune-Up mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune Up mode is complete, the
charger will begin a maintenance charge; the red
indicator will remain lit.

Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems
that can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated
bythe red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occu rs, re-insert
battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try
a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK.
If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack
is defective and should be returned to a service center or
other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack
elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the
charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when
the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically
starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the
battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the
charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red
light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay
mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When
the charger is used with some portable power sources
such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the
charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the
red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This
indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when
kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been
kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged
before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge
if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate
AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a
weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should
not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases,
about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will
beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition.
The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the
highest capacity possible.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F
(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.

3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into
work surface).
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
ACAUTION: The contact trip needs to be depressed
followed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release
of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.
BUMP ACTION ///
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing
on flat, stationary surfaces.
When using bump action, two methods
are available: place actuation and
bump actuation.
Flip the switch located on the body of
the tool just between the trigger and
magazine to the right as shown in
Figure 7.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION
method:
WARNING: A nail will fire each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Depress the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION
method:
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.
