TOOL OPERATION

EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides pro- tection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.

BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:

I.READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.

II.REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.

There are three available systems on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:

1. TRIGGER OPERATION 2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION 3. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION

OPERATION

1. TRIGGER OPERATION

A TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the trigger is pulled the tool will drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for use only when a contact trip or sequential trip cannot be used due to the requirements of the application.

2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION

The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.

A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.

B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.

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.

3. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:

The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the con- tact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the contact trip is con- tacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trig- ger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
