OPERATION
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. TRIGGER OPERATED:
A TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the
trigger is pulled the tool will drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for
use only when a contact trip or sequential trip cannot be used to the requirements of the
application.
4. REMOTE FIRE:
The Remote fire model is cycle by actuation of remote valve (RCVA1) for mounted machine.
TOOL OPERATION CHECK
CAUTION: Remove all fasteners from tool before performing tool operation check.
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
a. With finger off the trigger, press the contact trip against the work surface.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
b. Hold the tool off the work surface, and pull the trigger.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
c. With the tool off the work surface, pull the trigger. Press the contact trip
against the work surface.
THE TOOL MUST CYCLE.
