WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm such as asbestos and lead in lead based paint.

  • Actuating tool may result in flying Fig. A debris, collation material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes.

  • The operator and all those persons in the general area should wear safety glasses with permanently attached side shields.

  • Approved safety glasses are imprinted with the characters “Z87.1”. It is the employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and other people in the work area. (Fig. A)

  • Always wear appropriate head protection. Head protection must conform with ANSI Z89.1 standard.

  • Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)

  • Use only clean, dry, regulated air. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and damage the internal workings of the tool. (Fig. B)

  • Regulate air pressure. Use air pressure compatible with ratings on the nameplate of the tool. (Not to exceed 120 psi, 8.3 bar) Do not connect the tool to a compressor rated at over 200 psi. The tool operating pressure must never exceed 200 psi even in the event of regulator failure. (Fig. C)

  • Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. (Fig. D)

  • Do not use bottled gases to power this FIG. E tool. Bottled compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal injury may result. (Fig. E)

  • Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Use hose connectors that shut off air supply from compressor when the tool is disconnected. (Fig. F)

  • Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use. Always disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool to another operator.

  • Do not carry tool to another work area in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with air supply connected. Do not make adjustments, remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.

  • If the contact trip is adjusted when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded, accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)

  • Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with trigger or contact trip depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.

  • Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or contact trip to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.

  • Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, or contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Leaking air, damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. (Fig. H) A tool that is not in proper working order must not be used. Tags and physical segregation shall be used for control.

  • Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

  • Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement. (Fig. J)

  • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach of children.

  • Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Accidental discharge could result.

  • Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause cause personal injury. (Fig. K)

  • Make sure hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing. Do not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.

  • Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer.

  • Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected path and cause injury. (Fig. L)Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent injury from inadvertent release of nails. (Fig. M)

  • Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for detailed information on the proper maintenance of the tool

  • Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.

  • Do not actuate tool unless tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.

  • Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Fig. N)DEWALT-DWF83PT-30-Degree-Paper-Tape-Collated-Framing-Nailer-fig- \(6\)

  • Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. O)

  • Be aware of material thickness when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injuryBe aware that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range, nails can be driven completely through thin or
    very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the compressor is set so that nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through. (Fig. P)

  • Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. (Fig. Q)DEWALT-DWF83PT-30-Degree-Paper-Tape-Collated-Framing-Nailer-fig- \(6\)

  • Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. R)

  • Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. S)

  • Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In “Contact Actuation Mode” if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired.

  • Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering options. Always select the trigger method that is appropriate to the fastener application and the training of the operator.

CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER

  • When using the contact action trigger, be careful of unintentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface. (Fig. T)

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES

  • Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.
  • Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
  • Use sequential action trigger.
  • When “contact” actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool under control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.

SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER

  • When using the sequential action  FIG. U trigger, do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.
  • Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury. (Fig. U)
  • 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.
  • WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
  • WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA/Z94.3),
  • ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection, NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

OPERATION

Preparing the Tool (Fig. 2, 3)

WARNING: Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear protection when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and checks before each use of the nailer.

  1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been properly drained.
  2. Lubricate the tool following these directions:
    • Use DeWALT pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20 weight oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will damage o-rings and rubber parts.
    • Use a filter-regulator-lubricator in the air line between the compressor and the tool when possible. If a lubricator is not available, add 5 to 10 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice a day or every 4 hours of use. FIG. 2 FIG. 3
  3. wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
  4. Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
  5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the up position.
  6. Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.
  7. Connect air hose.
  8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that leaks or has damaged parts.

WARNING : To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing the tool to another person.

Mode Selection
WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In contact mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped while trigger is depressed.
Sequential Trip: Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the contact tip against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under Contact Trip. The sequential trip tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or anything else while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

Contract Trip: The common operating procedure on contact trip tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.

TO CHANGE OPERATING MODES (FIG. 1, 4, 5)

WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result.
WARNING: Always know the tool operating mode before connecting to an air supply and/or using the tool.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP

  1. Push and hold in pivot pin (I) opposite the selector, while rotating the selector (J) 180° counterclockwise to the sequential trip position .
  2. Ensure the selector is fully seated in the new position.

To operate the nailer in sequential trip mode:

  1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
  2. Depress the trigger.

WARNING
A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.

CONTACT TRIP

  1. Push and hold in pivot pin (I) while rotating the selector (J) 180° clockwise to the contact trip position .
  2. Ensure the selector is fully seated in the new position.

To operate the nailer in contact trip mode:

  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.

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use.

Loading the Tool (Fig. 1, 6)

WARNING: Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with trigger or contact trip depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener.
WARNING: Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when loading nails.
WARNING: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger activated.

  1. Slide the pusher (E) to the base of the magazine to lock it in place.

  2. Hold the nailer with the magazine facing downward and insert the appropiate collated nail sticks in tho the back of the magzine
    NOTE: See Tool Specifications to determine appropriate nail sizes and angles.

  3. Pull pusher (E) back again to release and carefully allow pusher to slide forward until it makes contact with the nails.

Depth Setting (Fig. 7)

WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result. The fastener depth control adjustment feature provides control of the nail drive depth from flush with or just above the work surface to shallow or deep countersink. Rotate depth control adjustment wheel (G) to give the desired depth of drive. FIG. 7
