TOOL OPERATION
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI/ CE 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 connecting to air supply, 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 ANSI Z87.1 and 89/86/EEC, and provide both
frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not
provide adequate protection.
BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
l
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
l
REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING
SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
OPERATION
There are three available systems on the pneumatic tool:
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
The
CONTACT TRIP MODEL
tool contains a contact trip that operates in
conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of
operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
a. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT:
To operate the tool in this manner, first position
the contact trip on the work surface,
WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER.
Depress
the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to
drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead,
allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener.
Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation
b. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION:
To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool
with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the
trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing
motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
The operator must not hold the trigger on contact trip tools except during fastening
operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacts someone
or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool
may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener
may be driven, possibly causing injury.
2. 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, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive
another fastener.
3. REMOTE FIRE:
The Remote fire model is cycle by actuation of remote valve (RCVA1) for mounted machine.
