SAFETY MECHANISM
OPERATING A CONTACT TRIP SAFETY TOOL
The operator requires finger to be off the trigger and the work contact ele-
ment (WCE) of the tool to be placed on the work-piece.
The work contact element (WCE) is then depressed against the work-piece
and the trigger is pulled to drive a fastener.
The trigger is released after each fastener is driven.
Move the tool to next location and repeat the above procedure.
CHECKING A CONTACT TRIP SAFETY TOOL
Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
Empty the magazine.
Make sure the trigger and the safety move up and down without sticking.
Connect the air supply to the tool.
Depress the safety tip against the work-piece without pulling the trigger.
The tool must not cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs.
Hold the tool clear of the work-piece. The WCE should return to its original
down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use the tool
if a cycle occurs.
WARNING
CHECK AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED OR WORN COMPONENTS. SAFETY WARN-
ING LABELS ON THE TOOL MUST ALSO BE REPLACED IF THEY ARE NOT LEGIBLE.
LOADING THE TOOL
Connect the air hose.
Depress the magazine latch. Pull back on the magazine cover.
Insert a stick of fasteners into the magazine. Make sure the pointed ends of
the fasteners are loaded with the points downward. Also make sure fasten-
ers are not dirty or damaged.
Push the magazine cover forward until the latch catches.
OPERATING THE TOOL
Add a few drops of tool oil
Attach a high flow quick connector fitting to the tool. Empty the magazine.
Regulate the air pressure to obtain air pressure within the working pressure
range at the tool.
Load fasteners into your tool following the instructions in this manual.
Test for proper fastener penetration by driving nails into a sample piece of
wood. If the fasteners do not achieve the desired penetration, adjust the
air pressure to a higher setting until the desired penetration is achieved. If
you are using a tool with a depth control device, turn the thumb wheel to
achieve the desired penetration.
