You and others working around you can be seriously injured by this tool if you do not follow the instructions provided on the tool and in the operation manual. Used properly, the tool provides an easy, safe, and efficient method for driving nails for all kinds of construction projects.

NOTE: Refer to your Operation Manual or Parts List if any of the terms used below are unfamiliar to you.

- MCN-KIT3 must be purchased separately for the F21PL2 to be used for fastening metal connectors.

SEQUENTIAL TRIP

Never use contact trigger (black trigger) with metal connector attachment. Only use sequential trigger (gray trigger) with metal connector attachment. Refer to trigger conversion instruction included in the kit.

The BOSTITCH F21PL, F33PT & F33PTSM tools with Metal Connector Attachment come with the Sequential Trip (gray trigger) installed. This style of trigger:

1.Offers a positive safety advantage since it will not accidentally drive a nail if the tool is bumped against any surface or anybody while the operator is holding the tool with the trigger pulled.

2.Allows Place Nailing without the possibility of driving a second nail on recoil.

The Sequential Trip (gray trigger) gets its name from the "sequence" required to operate the tool. To drive a nail, the operator must first depress the trip against the work surface and then pull the trigger. To drive a second nail, the operator must lift the tool from the work surface, release the trigger, and then repeat the above sequence.

TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY FROM FASTENERS AND FLYING DEBRIS WHEN INSTALLING METAL CONNECTORS USING THE F21PL, F21PL2, F33PT & F33PTSM WITH METAL CONNECTOR ATTACHMENT:

•Always use the Metal Connector Attachment. (See installation instructions.)

•Only use sequential trip (gray trigger).

•Use only genuine BOSTITCH metal connector nails.

•Use only one stick of metal connector nails at a time.

•Metal connector nails are not designed to penetrate metal. When installing metal connectors, always place the Metal Connector Attachment Guide in the metal connector’s pre-formed hole before attempting to drive a fastener

When installing Metal Connectors, use ONLY BOSTITCH Heat Treated Metal
