TOOL OPERATION
OPERATION OF TOOL
This tool is equipped with a safety yoke, which
must be pushed to the work surface for the tool
to operate when the trigger is actuated . Two
methods of tool actuation are:
1 .
Single Shot Operation.
This method of operat-
ing the tool is used when precise fastener loca-
tion is more important than speed of operation .
Press the safety yoke against the work surface,
then pull the trigger to drive the fastener .
2 .
Bump Fire or Contact Operation.
This method
of operating the tool is used when speed of
operation is more important than precise fastener
location . Pull and hold the trigger, then strike the
safety yoke against the work surface where the
fastener is to be driven . Repeat this action as
rapidly as required .
TO PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL TOOL OPERATION
AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO YOURSELF OR
ANYONE IN THE WORKING AREA, BE SURE TO
RELEASE THE TRIGGER AS SOON AS YOU HAVE
FINISHED DRIVING FASTENERS .
NEVER PRESS THE SAFETY YOKE AGAINST
ANY OBJECT EXCEPT THE MATERIAL TO BE
FASTENED .
As the nails are being driven, the leftover collation
is fed through the nose of the tool . As collation
accumulates, it can be torn off by twisting and
pulling down on the collation . Keep your finger
off the trigger when performing this procedure .
