USING THE TOOL WITH SELECTABLE TRIGGERING OPTIONS

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.

This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger set in the “SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION” firing mode as described in number 1 below. The selectable trigger can be set for the “CONTACT ACTUATION” firing mode as described in number 2 below;

1.To use the tool in the SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE depress trigger lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 24, rotate arrow to position (B), and release. Note: Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by locking tab (D) Fig. 24 to prevent movement during operation. To fire, grip tool firmly to maintain control, position nose of tool onto work surface, push tool firmly against work surface to depress safety, as shown at (S) Fig. 25, and then squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. This “single sequential actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement.

2.To use the tool in the CONTACT ACTUATION MODE depress trigger lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 24, rotate arrow to position (C), and release. Note: Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by locking tab (D) Fig. 24 to prevent movement during operation. To fire, grip tool firmly to maintain control, squeeze and hold trigger, push tool firmly against work surface to depress contact safety, as shown at (S) Fig. 25, and fire a fastener. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. If safety element is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired. The tool will fire a fastener each time the contact safety is depressed. This method is known as “contact actuation” and allows very fast repetitive fastener placement.

IMPORTANT: A “single sequential actuation” trigger, which will limit the tool to method number 1 only, is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-731-660-9374 outside the United States and Canada, and providing tool model number, type, serial number, etc. For identification purposes: the single sequential actuation trigger is red.
