FASTENER GUIDE
A Fastener Guide (A) Fig. 23 and 24,
is factory installed on Model
FN250A. The Guide is held in place
with a bolt and nut (B) Fig. 23 and
24. The Fastener Guide must be
used whenever driving fasteners that
are less than 1
1
/2" long. The Fastener
Guide must be removed when
driving fasteners that are 1
1
/2" or
more in length. When not in use, the
fastener guide may be stored by
attaching it to the rear bracket as
shown in Fig. 25.
USING THE TOOL
Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.
To fire, grip tool firmly, position nose of tool onto work surface, push forward
on tool to depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. This “trigger
fire” method provides the most accurate fastener placement. This tool is
shipped from the factory with a “restrictive fire trigger” that only allows the
tool to be fired this way and is less likely to fire an unwanted fastener.
An alternate “bottom fire trigger” is available. The “bottom fire” trigger allows
the tool to be fired in two different ways.
1. The tool can be fired using the “trigger fire” method described above.
OR
2. Grip tool firmly, depress and hold trigger while pushing the tool firmly
against work surface. The tool will fire a fastener each time the safety is
depressed. This method is known as “bottom fire” and allows very fast
repetitive fastener placement.
The “bottom fire trigger” is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443
in the United States and Canada or 001-901-660-9374 outside the United
States and Canada, and providing tool model and serial number. For
identification purposes: the Bottom Fire Trigger is black and the Restrictive
Fire Trigger is red.
