6. Place the coil on the nail platform. Insert fasteners
with points down.
iMPORTAnT: Fasteners must point in the same direction
as they will be driven as shown by the fastener icon
7. Uncoil enough nails [approximately 3" (76 mm)] to reach
the nose of the tool.
8. Insert the first nail into the nose
between the two rails of the feed pawl
nOTE: Be careful not to deform the coil of nails during the
loading process. Otherwise, the nail guide door will not close
and the nails might not feed consistently.
9. Close the canister cover completely.
10. Close the nail guide door, making sure the door latch is
completely engaged. Close the nail guide door making
sure the door latch is completely engaged.
Actuating Tool

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS wear
proper eye ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) and hearing
protection ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) when operating this tool.
The tool can be actuated using one of two modes:
single sequential actuation trigger mode and contact
actuation trigger mode.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Never use rafter hook to hang tool from
body, clothing or belt.
CONTACT TRIP (Black Trigger)
The common operating procedure on "Contact Trip" tools
is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip
mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a
fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid
bump placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking
and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil
when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the
trip, and if unintentionally allowed to recontact the work
surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding
trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP (Gray Trigger)
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool
against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes
accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing,
toe nailing and crating applications.
The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without
the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as
described under Contact Trip.
The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage
because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is

contacted against the work – or anything else – while the
operator is holding the trigger pulled.

CONTACT TRIP OPERATION

.
(BLACK TRIGGER)
When using the contact trip (black) trigger the tool contains
a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to
drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive
fasteners with a contact trip tool.
SINGLE BUMP PLACEMENT:
To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact
trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER.
Depress the contact trip 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.
RAPID BUMP OPERATION:
To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the
contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work
surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip against
the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression
of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
Tool Operation Check

WARNING:
performing tool operation check.
CONTACT TRIP OPERATION
(Black Trigger)
1. With finger off the trigger
against the work surface.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
2. Hold the tool off the work surface, and pull the trigger.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
3. With the tool off the work surface, pull the trigger. Press
the contact trip against the work surface.
THE TOOL MUST CYCLE.
4. Without touching the trigger, press the contact trip
against the work surface, then pull the trigger.
THE TOOL MUST CYCLE.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION
(Gray Trigger)
1. Press the contact trip against the work surface, without
touching the trigger.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
2. Hold the tool off the work surface and pull the trigger.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
Release the trigger. The trigger must return to the trigger
stop on the frame.
3. Pull the trigger and press the contact trip against the
work surface.
THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.
Remove all fasteners from tool before
