cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection

OPERATION
SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to
drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface
WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a
fastener. As long as the contact trip is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a
fastener each time the trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the
sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
