1. Contact Trip
(available system on : FN1850-CT, FS9040-CT, FS9240-CT)
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the workpiece to actuate the trip
mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the workpiece 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 trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.

2. Sequential Trip
(available system on : FN1850-ST, FS9040-ST, FS9240-ST)
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate
fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing, and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact
fastener location 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 fastener if the tool is contacted
against the workpiece – or anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
