 Tools and Techniques

bulletAlways read owners manual for instruction on proper use and safety.
bulletAdjust depth sensitive nosepieces to achieve proper seating of fastener to work surface.
bulletFor best results, hold tool perpendicular to work surface when installing nails.
bulletPoint of nail must penetrate 1/2" minimum beyond steel.
bulletTake care to make sure nails are seated flush with work surface.  Over-driven nails will have greatly reduced technical values.
