a contact trip lock-off (B) which when

pulled downward with the lock

symbol showing in Figure 8, prevents

the tool from firing a nail.

When the contact trip lock-off is

oriented as shown in Figure 9, the

tool will be fully operational. The

contact

trip

lock-off

should

always be locked off (Fig. 8)

whenever any adjustments are

made or when tool is not in

immediate use.

NOTE:

Tools equipped with selective

actuation, when in bump fire mode

will allow the motor to start upon

trigger pull. This is normal operation. The contact trip lock-

off constrains the contact trip from discharging a nail.
