Successive (Bounce) Driving - (Orange Trigger)
Grasp the handle firmly.
■
Squeeze the trigger and move the tool along the work-
■
piece with a bouncing motion, depressing the work con-
tacting 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 dis-
charge.
Sequential Operation - (Gray Trigger)
The sequential operating kit prevents successive 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 trig-
■
ger and lift the tool from the work surface.
