Bump Action
Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that
require driving shorter nails.
To Operate the Tool Using the Bump Actuation Method
1. Depress the trigger.
2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long
as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user
to drive multiple nails in sequence.

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool
is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the locked
position when the tool is not in use.

WARNING: When the tool's motor is running, the
next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing the
contact trip, will cause a nail to fire.
