TOOL OPERATION
SEQUENTIAL (SINGLE FIRE ) OPERATION
To operate this tool in SEQUENTIAL fire mode, move the se -
lector button on the trigger to the rear position.
1. Hold the tool securely using the handgrip. Keep finger off trig -
ger until tool is in position and you are ready to drive a fastener.
NOTE: Depressing trigger before depressing safety bracket will
prevent tool from actuating.
2. Position the nose of the tool on the workpiece, placing the nose at
the desired fastener driving position.
3. Press the tool down firmly against the work surface, fully depress -
ing the workpiece contact (safety bracket).
4. Squeeze the trigger once to drive a fastener.
5. Allow the tool to rebound off the work surface, and release the
trigger to reset the workpiece contact. Tool will not drive another
fastener until trigger is released, and cannot be bump-fired with
sequential operation mode selected.
6. Check fastener for flush drive, and if needed, turn nail depth ad -
justment dial to obtain desired fastener drive.
7. If tool adjustments do not provide the desired results, make air
pressure adjustments at the compressor: Increase air pressure to
drive deeper or to drive into harder materials. Reduce air pressure
to reduce drive or to drive into softer materials. For longest tool
and part life, always use the lowest air pressure necessary to drive
fasteners to desired depth.
8. Position the tool for driving the next fastener, and repeat the above
procedure. Always keep hands and other body parts away from
areas being fastened.
BUMP FIRE (CONTACT TRIP) OPERATION
To operate this tool in BUMP FIRE mode (contact trip), move
the selector button on the trigger to the forward position.
1. Position the nose of the tool over the work surface, near the area
where the first fastener is to be driven.
2. Squeeze and hold the trigger in the depressed position.
3. Bump the workpiece contact (safety) against the work surface at
each point where a fastener is to be driven.
4. Using a bouncing motion, continue moving the tool into position for
each fastener drive.
5. When fastening is completed, release the trigger.
