DRIVING FASTENERS

CONTACT TRIP MODEL WITH ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM

The anti-double fire mechanism (US patent 5597106, UK patent 2286790) is installed on this tool.
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to
actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is
contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet
assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce,
releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the work surface with the trigger still
actuated (finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.

CONTACT FIRE OPERATION

For contact fire operation, hold the trigger and depress the contact arm against the work surface.

SINGLE FIRE OPERATION (ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM)

For single fire operation, depress the contact arm against the work surface and pull the trigger. Tool can
not fire a second nail until the trigger is released and tool can cycle.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP

The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications.
The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener
on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”.
The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a
fastener if the tool is contacted against the work-or anything else-while the operator is holding the
trigger pulled.
