Bump Action (Fig. D)
Bump action is intended for rapid stapling on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that require
driving shorterstaples.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two
methods of tool operation are available: place actuation and
bumpactuation.
Slide the selector switch to expose the triple staple icon
.
To operate the tool using the place actuation method:

WARNING: A staple will be driven each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the contact trip remainsdepressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the worksurface.
2. Depress thetrigger.
To operate the tool using the bump actuation method:
3. Depress thetrigger.
4. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as
the trigger is depressed, the tool will drive a staple every
time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to
drive multiple staples insequence.
