OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE TOOL

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

To fire, grip tool firmly, position nose of tool onto work surface, push forward on tool to depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. This “trigger fire” method provides the most accurate fastener placement. This tool is shipped from the factory with a “restrictive fire trigger” that only allows the tool to be fired this way and is less likely to fire an unwanted fastener.

An alternate “bottom fire trigger” is available. The “bottom fire” trigger allows the tool to be fired in two different ways.

1.The tool can be fired using the “trigger fire” method described above.

OR

2.Grip tool firmly, depress and hold trigger while pushing the tool firmly against work surface. The tool will fire a fastener each time the safety is depressed. This method is known as “bottom fire” and allows very fast repetitive fastener placement.

The “bottom fire trigger” is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-901-660-9374 outside the United States and Canada, and providing tool model and serial number. For identification purposes: the Bottom Fire Trigger is black and the Restrictive Fire Trigger is red.
