TOOL OPERATION
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye
protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause
severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must
conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and provide
both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not
provide adequate protection.

OPERATION
SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the
trigger to drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work
surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a
fastener. As long as the contact trip is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a
fastener each time the trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, as is
typical with normal tool recoil, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
