OPERATING A CONTACT TRIP TOOL:
1. Requires finger to be off the trigger and the nose of the Tool to be placed
on the work surface.
2. The contact trip safety mechanism is then depressed against the work
surface and the trigger pulled to drive a fastener.
3. The trigger is released after each fastener is driven.
4. Move the tool to the next desired fastener location and repeat the
procedure above.
CHECKING THE OPERATION OF CONTACT TRIP SAFETY MECHANISM
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
2. Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
3. Make sure the trigger and contact trip safety mechanism move up and
down without any sticking or binding.
4. Reconnect air supply to the tool.
5. Depress the contact trip safety mechanism against the work surface with-
out pulling the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Do not use the tool if a
cycle occurs.
Check the operation of the contact trip safety mechanism often.
Do not use the tool if the contact trip safety mechanism is not
working correctly.
Your Nailer/Stapler is a contact trip operated tool. When the operator depresses
the contact trip safety mechanism against the work surface and then pulls the
trigger, a fastener will be driven.
CONTACT TRIP SAFETY MECHANISM
Never keep the trigger pulled on contact trip tools when
carrying or holding the tool. Death or a serious puncture wound
could occur if the contact trip bumps something or someone.
Keep your hands and body away from the fastener discharge
area of the tool. Serious personal injury or property damage
could occur.
Do not hold the tool against the work surface with extra force.
Allow the tool to drive the fastener.
Do not use the contact trip mechanism as a means of
discharging a fastener because:
1. It could result in personal injury
2. It could result in an accidental release of a fastener.
3. It may cause damage to the mechanism.
4. It could result in improper placement of fastener in work piece.
