Selecting Trip Mode; Dial-A-Depth - Bostitch BTFP71917 Manuel D'instructions Et D'entretien

1. CONTACT TRIP:
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 if 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 change the trip mode, rotate the mode switch toward the body of the tool. 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).

The DIAL-A-DEPTH Fastener control adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener drive depth: from flush with the work
®
surface to shallow or deep countersink. First set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as described on page 6, then use
the DIAL-A-DEPTH fastener control adjustment to give the desired depth of drive.
