TOOL OPERATION
I_WARNING: ] EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator
and others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing
this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which
could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO "TOOL SPECIFICATIONS" IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE
OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
There are three available systems on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION 2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION 3. TRIGGER OPERATION
OPERATION
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to
drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip
on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose
touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against
the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second
unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact
trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip
against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a
fastener to be driven.

The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening
operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven, possibly causing injury.
Never use belt hook with contact trigger (black trigger) operated tools.
2. 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.
3. TRIGGER OPERATION:
ATRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the trigger is pulled
the tool will drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for use only when a contact trip or
sequential trip cannot be used due to the requirements of the application.
