•
The tool is equipped with a rotating switch that can be set
to rapid-fire or single-fire mode (see Figure 7). When the
switch is set to single-fire mode, the tool will not drive a
second fastener until the trigger is fully released and
pulled again.
•
When the switch is rotated to rapid-fire mode, the tool can
drive fasteners continuously. A fastener will be fired each
time the contact trip is pressed against the workpiece, as
long as the trigger is maintained in the pulled position.

Operation Mode
SINGLE-FIRE
OPERATION:
•
The air tool is equipped with a contact trip safety mecha-
nism that disables tool unless contact trip is pushed
against work. To drive a fastener hold body firmly and
press contact trip on workpiece where fastener is to be
applied. Pull trigger to drive fastener into workpiece. To fire
a second fastener lift the tool from the workpiece, release
the trigger and then repeat the above sequence.
RAPID-FIRE OPERATION:
•
The tool can also be operated by holding trigger
depressed and pushing contact trip against workpiece. A
fastener will be driven each time the contact trip is pushed
against the workpiece. This operating procedure provides
rapid-fire fastener driving. Never operate tool unless con-
tact trip is in contact with workpiece.
OPERATING
PRESSURE
•
Use only enough air pressure to perform the operation. Air
pressure in excess of that which is required will make the
operation inefficient and may cause premature wear or
damage to the tool.
•
Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some
test fasteners into the workpiece. Set air pressure so that
test fasteners are driven down flush with the work surface.
Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpiece.
WARNING:
All air power fastening tools recoil when operat-
ed. This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Tool
may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener
to be driven. Reduce tool bounce by holding tool firmly in
hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. Let the tool
do the work. This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away
from workpiece preventing the driving of second fastener.
CONTACT
TRIP ADJUSTMENT
The contact trip may be adjusted up or down to vary the
driven depth of the fastener. To adjust, rotate depth control
knob (see Figure 8) to raise or lower contract trip to desired
setting.
