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.
The DWSL18CAP features a selectable trigger system that allows the
user to choose between the following modes of operation
Sequential Trip
Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the contact trip 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. 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. 1–3)
WARNING:
Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners
from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may
result.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP ACTION
Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and
accurate placement is desired.
To operate the stapler in sequential action mode:
1.
Rotate the trigger mode selector (B)
FIG. 2
clockwise to the sequential action position
, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work
surface.
3. Pull trigger.
4. Release trigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.
WARNING:
The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a
trigger pull for each fastener followed by a release of both the contact
trip and trigger after each fastener.
CONTACT TRIP ACTION
Bump/contact action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces.
When using bump action, two methods are available:
place
actuation
and
bump actuation
.
Rotate the trigger mode selector (B)
FIG. 3
counterclockwise to the contact action position
, as shown in Figure 3.
