Firing Modes
The tool is equipped with a trigger that can select one of two
firing modes.
“Sequential” Firing Mode:
To use the tool to drive nails in this actuation mode, the
work contact element and trigger must be used in a specific
order:
1. Press and turn the selectable fire mode switch in the
downwards position. On the trigger, the firing mode
indicator should be pointing at the single nail icon, see
figure 9.
2. The work contact element must be completely depressed
by placing the nose of the tool against the work piece, see
figure 10.
3. The trigger must be pulled firmly and then released, see
figure 10.
4. The tool must be allowed to recoil away from the work
piece.
To continue operation in a separate location, move the tool
along the work piece, repeating steps 2 through 4 as
required.
“Bump” Firing Mode:
To use the tool to drive nails in this actuation mode the work
contact element and trigger can be actuated in any order.
1. Press and turn the selectable fire mode switch in the
upwards position. On the trigger the actuation mode
indicator should be pointing at the multi-nail icon, see
figure 11.
2. Pull and hold the trigger with the tool off the work piece.
3. Press the work contact element against the work piece. A
nail will be driven, see figure 12.
4. The tool must be allowed to recoil away from the work
piece.
5. Move the tool along the work piece with a bouncing
motion. Each time the work contact element is depressed
a nail will be driven, see figure 12.
6. As soon as the desired number of nails has been driven,
remove finger from trigger.
Remove finger from the trigger when not
driving nails. Always carry the tool by the
handle only.
Removing your finger from the trigger when
not operating the tool reduces the risk of unintentionally
firing a nail and injuring yourself or someone else.
The tool must be allowed to recoil away
from the work piece. Do not drive a nail
on top of another nail.
If the tool is not moved before the
trigger is pulled again a second nail will be driven on top of
the previously driven nail. This could cause the nail to be
deflected or the tool to react in an unexpected manner.
