TOOL OPERATION
OPERATION
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn
by the operator and others in the work area when connecting to air supply, 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 and provide both frontal
and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide
adequate protection.
Sequential Trip Operation Contact Trip Operation
RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact tip
pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact tip against the
work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact tip will cause a fastener to be driven.
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 tip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING
THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact tip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the
contact tip
is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger is depressed.
If the contact tip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive
another fastener.
Additional Safety Protection will be required in some environments. For example,
the working area may include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing
damage. The employer and user must ensure that any necessary hearing protection
is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments
will require th
e use of head protection equipment. When required, the employer
and user must ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1 is used.
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING
SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact tip 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 tip tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven, possibly causing injury.
SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact tip on
the workpiece surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact tip 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.
