How To Use A Framing Nail Gun Or Nailer
Two modes of operation are available, bump fire and sequential operation. Bump firing will eliminate the need to release and pull the trigger after each shot.
Most nailers also feature an adjustable depth of drive. This allows for flush driving or countersink.
Coil Nailers
To use a coil nailer, open the magazine basket and front door latch. Inside the basket is an adjustable nail tray. Be sure to set the tray for the length of fastener you are using, to allow for optimal performance.
Insert nails into the magazine basket. Toward the nose of the tool, you will find a feed pawl. The feed pawl guides nails into the chamber. Be sure to align the collation wire and nail head into the proper grooves.
Close the magazine basket and door latch, attach your air line, and follow the same steps listed above to fire.
Always consult the manufacturer's operating manual for exact instructions detailing the specific tool you are using.
