DRIVING FASTENERS
NOTE :
This tool is shipped with SEQUENTIAL TRIP selected.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator 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 pos-
sibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under
"Contact Trip".
The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safely advantage be-
cause it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contact-
ed against the work or anything else-while the operator is holding
the trigger pulled.
Switching SEQUENTIAL TRIP to CONTACT TRIP
ALWAYS-disconnect air supply before switching the trigger-
ing method.
1

3
Set the switching lever as above picture.
CONTACT TRIP
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.
All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners.
The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally al-
lowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated
(finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener
will be driven.
