TRIGGER LOCKOUT CONTROL
The trigger lockout control feature on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools provides a trigger lock feature for added
safety control. Push the lockout control button in or out to activate or lock the tool trigger.
TRIP OPERATION MODE
Always disconnect air supply before making adjustments as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
Always verify and be aware of tool operating mode by inspecting the trigger before
connecting to an air supply and / or using the tool.
The DA1564K features a selectable trigger system that allows the user to choose between the following
modes of operation:
1. Contact Trip Operation
1. CONTACT TRIP:
NEVER use the belt hook with the tool in contact mode, ALWAYS switch the tools
operation mode back to sequential before using the belt hook option.
The common operation procedure on "Contact Trip" tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to
actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work surface
is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil
when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the
work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener
will be driven.
2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP:
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes
accurate fastener placement easier. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of
driving a second fastener on recoil as described under "Contact Trip". The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive
advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work surface - or
anything else - while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
SELECTING THE TRIP MODE:
To ensure safety, the user must lock the trigger (as described above) before changing the trigger system. To
change the trip mode, rotate the mode switch in the counterclockwise direction. The mode switch will lock
automatically when the indicating arrow is pointing down to the 3 nail icon stamped into the tool frame (Contact
Trip Mode) or to a single nail icon stamped in the tool frame( Sequential Trip Mode). Unlock the trigger to
resume tool operation.
