Loading of Nails
Step 1 - Grasp the handle firmly. Pull the follower
all the way to the rear of the magazine
until it is latched into its loading position
by the magazine latch.
Step 2 - Insert one or two strips of nails into the
top of the magazine.
Step 3 - Hold the follower firmly and press the
follower latch. Slide the follower forward
until it contacts the nails.
Switching the Trigger
The tool is manufactured with a trigger that
can be switched from sequential operation to a
bounce drive operation. The trigger is placed in
the sequential operating position when the tool
was manufactured. To switch the trigger to the
bounce operating position, remove the O-ring
and trigger pivot pin from the trigger assembly.
Move the trigger to the bounce operation position
and install the trigger pivot pin and O-ring. The
postion indicator
on the tool should now be
pointing to the
as shown in the illustration.

Sequential Operation
The sequential operating kit prevents succesive or "bounce"
driving.
Depress the work contacting element and hold it against the
■
work surface before pulling the trigger.
After each fastener is driven, completely release the trigger
■
and lift the tool from the work surface.
Precision Placement Driving
Grasp the tool handle firmly and place the bottom of the
■
work contacting element firmly against the workpiece until it
is completely depressed.
Squeeze the trigger to drive the fastener.
■
Lift the tool from the workpiece.
■
Repeat the procedure for the next fastener.
■
Successive (Bounce) Driving
Grasp the handle firmly.
■
Squeeze the trigger and move the tool along the workpiece
■
with a bouncing motion, depressing the work contacting
element at the points where you want to insert a fastener.
Keep the trigger depressed and continue to bounce the work
■
contacing element against the workpiece, positioning the tool
above as carefully as possible.
When the desired number of fasteners have been driven,
■
release the tool trigger to avoid unintentional fastener
discharge.
