Tool Operation - Bostitch F28WW Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this
tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO "TOOL SPECIFICATIONS" IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE
OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
There are three available operation modes on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:
1. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION 2. SMART TRIP OPERATION 3. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION
OPERATION
BOSTITCH offers two types of triggers which can operate in one of three ways for pneumatic tools: Sequential
Trip (gray trigger) and Contact Trip (black trigger). Each trigger has specific advantages. You should evaluate
your particular construction project to determine which trigger is best.
Your tool was shipped from the factory in the Sequential Trip (gray trigger) configuration. It can easily be
converted to the Contact Trip (black trigger) mode of operation using this "Smart Trigger" conversion kit.
1. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION (GRAY TRIGGER):
The Sequential Trip (gray trigger) gets its name from the "sequence" required to drive a fastener. To drive a
fastener, the operator must first depress the "trip" FULLY against the work surface and then pull the trigger. To
drive a second nail, the operator must lift the tool from the work surface, release the trigger and then repeat the
above sequence.
1. The Sequential Trip (gray trigger): offers a positive safety advantage since it will not accidentally drive
a fastener if the tool is bumped against any surface or anybody while the operator is holding the tools with
the trigger pulled.
2. 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 "SMART TRIGGER" OPERATION (BLACK TRIGGER):
Your new BOSTITCH tool can be easily configured for use in Contact Trip "Smart Trigger" mode. To drive a nail,
the "trip" and the trigger must both be depressed. In conventional Contact Trip tools, the trigger may be
depressed and held, and each "contact" between the trip and the work surface will drive a nail. However, the
"Smart Trigger" assembly that came with this tool allows you to operate the tool as either Sequential or Contact
Trip, depending upon the order in which you pull the trigger. This "Smart Trigger" mode of operation allows the
USER to decide whether the tool will fire once or multiple times with the trigger depressed.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT (Place Nailing) -- First position the "trip" 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.
Note: If the tool is operated in this manner with "Smart Trigger", it will not drive a second, unwanted nail
due to recoil, because the Smart Trigger is now operating in Sequential Trip mode.
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.
The Contact Trip "Smart Trigger" (black) will not prevent a nail from being accidentally
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.
