SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The STANLEY-BOSTITCH F21PL, F33PT & F33PTSM tools with Metal Connector Attachment come with the
Sequential Trip (gray trigger) installed. This style of trigger:
1. Offers a positive safety advantage since it will not accidentally drive a nail if the tool is bumped against
any surface or anybody while the operator is holding the tool with the trigger pulled.
2. Allows Place Nailing without the possibility of driving a second nail on recoil.
The Sequential Trip (gray trigger) gets its name from the "sequence" required to operate the tool. To drive a
nail, the operator must first depress the trip against the work surface and then pull the trigger. To drive a
second nail, the operator must lift the tool from the work surface, release the trigger, and then repeat the
above sequence.
