3.2
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.2.1 TYPES OF ACTUATING AND TRIGGERING SYSTEMS
FOR TOOLS WITHOUT A CONTACT SAFETY:
Single action actuation: The tool contains an actuating
system where the triggering device has to be actuated for
each driving operation.
Single action with simple safety: The tool contains a safety
latch that is built into the triggering device enabling the user
to disengage it when it is not in use.
FOR TOOLS WITH A CONTACT SAFETY INSTALLED:
Dual action safety/contact safety
(contact
actuation): It will be necessary to activate
the contact safety mechanism as well as the triggering
device in order to fire a fastener. By keeping the
trigger activated and activating the contact safety a
fastener is fired, allowing for high speed firing, also
known as bump firing.
Single sequential trip fire (single-sequential
actuation): Fasteners can only be fired by first
activating the contact safety by holding the tool
against the workpiece and then by pulling the trigger.
Thereafter any further driving operations can only be
actuated after the trigger has been returned to the
starting position. The single sequential trip tool allows
exact fastener location without the possibility of
driving a second fastener due to recoil.
Changing the trigger: To change the trigger lever, simply
remove the trigger pin, remove the trigger lever and insert the
required one, replacing the trigger pin to hold it in place.
