ACTUATING TOOL
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury,
ALWAYS wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes: single sequential action trigger mode and
bump action trigger mode.
Sequential action trigger -
Grey trigger (Fig. 1)
The sequential action triger’s intended use is for intermittent fastening where very careful and
accurate placement is desired.
To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:
1. Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
WARNING: A fastener will be driven each time the trigger is pulled as long as the contact
trip remains depressed which could result in accidental driving.
Bump action trigger -
Black trigger (Fig. 1)
The bump action trigger’s intended use is for rapid fastening on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the bump action trigger, two methods are available:
place actuation and bump
actuation.
To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:
1. Push the contact trip against the work surface.
2. Pull the trigger.
To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:
1. Pull the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is pulled, the tool
will drive a fastener every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to
drive multiple fasteners in sequence.
WARNING: Do not keep trigger pulled when tool is not in use.
ADJUSTING DEPTH (Fig. 4)
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting
to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the
trigger of the tool.
1. To drive the fastener shallower, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the right.
2. To drive a fastener deeper, rotate the depth setting wheel (K) to the left.
