Trigger Lockout Control
The trigger lockout controls featured on the SOA’s BOSTITCH pneumatic tools provide a trigger lock for added safety control. Push the lockout control button in or out to activate or lock the tool trigger.

The common operation procedure on Contact Trip mode 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.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP:
The Sequential Trip mode 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.

Dial-A-Depth Fastener Adjustment:
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.

The typical operation of the Pneumatic Brad Nailer or Stapler in the SOA is to build site model frames or other, similar structures, using plywood or standard lumber components. Since the placement of fasteners in these cases is often strategic, the most common mode of operation is the “Sequential Trip” method, to place single fasteners where needed. However, the “Contact Trip” method is used on occasion, when broad surfaces must be fastened in somewhat random fashion, to quickly secure two or more sheets of material together.

The Pneumatic Brad Nailer and Stapler in the SOA, utilize a quick disconnectfeature, which allows easy connection to any air supply hose in the Woodshop. Simply pull back the air hose connector sleeve collar and press the coupling onto the tool firmly, then release the collar to lock the air hose to the tool. Ask a Shop Tech for assistance to be shown how to do this.
