TOOL OPERATION (CONTINUED)
The Contact Trip will not prevent a nail from being accidentally driven if the trigger is depressed and the “trip” is bumped against any object or person. Never hold or carry the tool with your finger on the trigger. Only depress and hold trigger when you intend to rapidly drive multiple nails and the tool is pointed at the work surface.
When using conventional Contact Trip for Place Nailing, the tool may bounce due to recoil, and if the tool is allowed to
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
Never use rafter hook to hang tool from body, clothing or belt.
JAM CLEARING PROCEDURE
Disconnect tool from air supply before clearing a jam, making adjustments or before attempting any part assembly or disassembly.
On occasion staples can jam in the nose of a pneumatic stapler. This can be caused by striking a metal plate in the wall, drywall screw, or some other hard object. The 651 Series staplers feature open drive channel architecture for jam clearing. To clear a jam follow this procedure:
1)Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2)Release the pusher so it is no longer applying force to the staples.
3)Open the jam clearing nose door by pulling down and then up on the latch.
4)Remove the jammed fastener. In certain circumstances, pliers may be required to remove the fastener.
5)Close the jam clearing nose door latch.
6)Release nail pusher back behind staples.
