Tool Operation - Bostitch RN46 Manuel D'instructions Et D'entretien

TOOL OPERATION

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.
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:
The TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the trigger is
pulled the tool will drive a fastener. This model does not have a contact trip and is intended for
use only where a contact trip cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of the application.
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 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 Z87.1-1989 (R1998) and provide
both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
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.
