Tool Operation Check - Bostitch BTF83PT Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
Your new BOSTITCH tool can be configured for use in Contact Trip "Conventional trip" mode. To drive a nail, the
"trip" and the trigger must both be depressed. In conventional Contact Trip tools, the trigger may be depressed
and held, and each "contact" between the trip and the work surface will drive a nail.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT (Place Nailing) – First position the "trip"
FULLY on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the "trip"
FULLY until the nose of the tool touches the work surface and then pull the trigger
to drive a nail. Do not press the tool against the work surface with extra force.
Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted
fastener. Note: remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FIRE OPERATION ("Bump" Nailing) – First, hold the tool with the "trip" pointing towards but not
touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap or "bump" the trip against the work surface using
a bouncing motion. Each depression of the "trip" will cause a nail to be driven.
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 re-contact the work surface while you are holding the
trigger pulled, a second unwanted nail will be driven. You should allow the tool to recoil
far enough to release the trip and avoid a second cycle. Don't push the tool down extra
hard; let the tool do the work.
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.
