may bounce from recoil causing a second unwanted fastener
to be driven. Reduce tacd bounce by holding too( firmly in
hand and pressing tool gently against workplace. Let the tool
do the work. This will allow recoil of tool to bounce tool away
from workpisce preventing the ddving of second fastener,

operation Lneffident ar_l may cause premature wear or
damage to the toot.
• Determine minimum air pressure required by driving some
test fasteners into the wodkoiece. Set air pressure so that
test fasteners are ddvan down flush with the work surface.
Fasteners driven too deep may damage workpieca.
