5. Pull the follower (B) Fig. 22, all the way to
the rear of the magazine and release. The
follower will apply pressure to the strip of
nails to feed it into the driving mechanism.
6. Adjust directional exhaust deflector (A) Fig.
23, so that the exhaust air blast will be
directed away from the operator. The exhaust
deflector provides seven detented positions
for directing the exhaust blast away from the
operator. Grasp the deflector and rotate it to
the desired position for the current
application.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE TOOL WITH SELECTABLE TRIGGERING OPTIONS
Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.
This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger set in the
“SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION” firing mode as described in number 1
below. The selectable trigger can be set for the “CONTACT ACTUATION”
firing mode as described in number 2 below;
1.
To use the tool in the SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
depress trigger lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 24 and rotate it to position (B) and
release. Note: Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by
locking tab (D) Fig.24 to prevent movement during operation. To fire, grip
tool firmly to maintain control, position nose of tool onto work surface,
depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. Allow tool to recoil
away from work surface as fastener is driven. This “single sequential
actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement.

2.
To use the tool in the CONTACT ACTUATION MODE depress trigger
lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 24 and rotate it to position (C) and release. Note:
Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by locking tab (D)
Fig.24 to prevent movement during
operation. To fire, grip tool firmly to
maintain control, squeeze and hold
trigger, push the tool firmly against
work surface. Allow tool to recoil
away from work surface as fastener
is driven. If safety element is
allowed to recontact work surface
before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired. The
tool will fire a fastener each time the
safety is depressed. This method is
known as “contact actuation” and
allows very fast repetitive fastener
placement.
IMPORTANT: A “single sequential actuation” trigger, which will limit the
tool to method number 1 only, is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-
321-9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-731-660-9374 outside the
United States and Canada, and providing tool model number, type, serial
number, etc. For identification purposes: the single sequential actuation
trigger is red.
