6. Adjust directional exhaust
deflector (A) Fig. 22, so that the
exhaust air blast will be directed
away from the operator. The exhaust
deflector provides eight detented
positions for directing the exhaust
blast away from the operator. Grasp

desired position for the current
application.
USING THE TOOL WITH SELECTABLE TRIGGERING OPTIONS
Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.
This tool is shipped from the factory with a selectable trigger set in the
“SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION” firing mode as described in number
1 below. The selectable trigger can be set for the “CONTACT ACTUATION”
firing mode as described in number 2 below;
1. To use the tool in the SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE
depress trigger lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 23, rotate arrow to position (B), and
release. Note: Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by
locking tab (D) Fig. 23 to prevent movement during operation. To fire, grip
tool firmly to maintain control, position nose of tool onto work surface, push
tool firmly against work surface to depress safety, as shown at (S) Fig.
24, and then squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. Allow tool to recoil away
from work surface as fastener is driven. This “single sequential
actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement.

2. To use the tool in the CONTACT ACTUATION MODE depress trigger
lever pivot pin (A) Fig. 23, rotate arrow to position (C), and release. Note:
Trigger lever pivot pin is spring loaded and held in position by locking tab (D)
Fig. 23 to prevent movement during operation. To fire, grip tool firmly to
maintain control, squeeze and hold trigger, push tool firmly against work
surface to depress contact safety, as shown at (S) Fig. 24, and fire a
fastener. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is
driven. If safety element is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger
is released an unwanted fastener will be fired. The tool will fire a fastener
each time the contact safety is depressed. This method is known as “contact
actuation” and allows very fast repetitive fastener placement.
IMPORTANT: A trigger, which will limit the tool to “single sequential
actuation” only, is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in the
United States and Canada or 001-731-660-9374 outside the United States
and Canada, and providing tool model number, type, serial number, etc. For
identification purposes: the single sequential actuation trigger is red.
