Tool Operation Check - Bostitch H-3071 Instructions Manual

TOOL OPERATION CONTINUED
b. The Sequential Trip (gray trigger) allows "place
nailing" without the possibility of driving a
second, unwanted fastener on recoil as
described below under "Contact Trip".
2. CONTACT TRIP (CONVENTIONAL) OPERATION
(BLACk TRIGGER)
your new BOSTITCH tool can be configured for use in
Contact Trip mode. To drive a nail, the "trip" and the
trigger must both be depressed. In Contact Trip tools,
the trigger may be depressed and held, and each
"contact" between the trip and the work surface will drive
a nail.
a. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT (Place Nailing) –
First position the "trip" FULLy on the work surface
WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the "trip"
FULLy until the nose of the tool touches the work
surface and then pull the trigger to drive a nail.
Do not press the tool against the work surface
with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil
off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted
fastener.
NOTE: Remove your finger from the trigger after
each operation.
b. RAPID FIRE OPERATION ("Bump" Nailing) – First,
hold the tool with the "trip" pointing towards but
not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger
and then tap or "bump" the trip against the work
surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression
of the "trip" will cause a nail to be driven.
WARNING! The Contact Trip (black) will not
prevent a nail from being accidently driven
if the trigger is depressed and the "trip" is
bumped against any object or person. Never
hold or carry the tool with your finger on the
trigger. Only depress and hold trigger when
you intend to rapidly drive multiple nails and
the tool is pointed at the work surface.
WARNING! Never use contact trigger (black
trigger) with metal connector attachment.
Only use sequential trigger (grey trigger) with
metal connector attachment. Refer to trigger
conversion instruction included in the kit.
WARNING! When using conventional Contact
Trip for Place Nailing, the tool may bounce due
to recoil and if the tool is allowed to re-contact
the work surface while you are holding the
trigger pulled, a second unwanted nail will be
driven. You should allow the tool to recoil far

2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION
enough to release the trip and avoid a second
cycle. Don't push the tool down extra hard; let
the tool do the work.
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.
CAUTION: Remove all fasteners from tool before
performing tool operation check.
