MAINTENANCE
CONTACT TRIP (BUMP FIRE) DRIVING METHOD
1. Position the nose of the tool over the work surface, near the area
where the first fastener/cap 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/cap is to be driven.
4. Using a bouncing motion, continue moving the tool into position for
each fastener drive/cap attachment.
5. When fastening is completed, release the trigger.
MAINTENANCE
Your tool will last longer and perform better if periodic maintenance is
performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating in
top condition.
Lubrication
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Apply three
drops of air tool oil (provided) in the air inlet before each use, and after
every 1000 fasteners driven. If the tool will be used outside in the winter,
use a winter grade air tool oil to help keep frost from forming inside the
tool. Do not use other types of lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants
may contain chemicals harmful to o-rings and other tool components.
Cleaning
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Brush tool
off using a parts cleaning brush or clean rag. Open magazine and brush
out dirt and debris. Check area around trigger and workpiece contact,
and clean as necessary.
Workpiece Contact & Trigger
Check workpiece contact for proper operation before each use. Workpiece
contact must move freely and return to extended position when lifted from
workpiece. Trigger must operate freely.
Daily Inspection
• Check for broken, damaged, or excessively worn parts, and repair
or replace as needed.
• Check for air leaks at trigger, cap, and nose. Disconnect tool from
air supply immediately if leaks are present, and see dealer for
service.
• Make sure all screws are tightened securely.
OPERATION
TRIGGER FIRE METHOD
1. Hold the tool securely using the handgrip. Keep finger off trigger
until tool is in position and you are ready to drive a fastener.
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 depressing
the workpiece contact (SAFETY).
4. Squeeze the trigger once and release to drive a fastener. (NOTE:
First fastener driven after reloading plastic caps does not include a
cap. Cap feeds into fastening position after first fastener is driven.)
5. Lift the tool off the work surface to reset the workpiece contact.
6. Check fastener for flush drive against plastic cap, and adjust air
pressure setting on compressor to obtain desired fastener drive.
7. 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.
