A Makita AN611 nail gun is a powered tool which ejects a nail at a speed which buries it deep into construction materials. Because of the forces involved and the objects being driven at high speeds, this is a potentially dangerous tool that requires cautious operation. It saves the labor ordinarily required to hammer a nail into the receiving material, by reducing the process from several manual blows to a single, mechanical blow. Nail guns vary in size according to the size nails they drive. They are designed to be adjustable as to how deep they bury a nail. Having all but eliminated the hammer, these machines have earned their place with their considerable versatility. The worker who uses a nail gun must be versed in how to safely operate it. First of all, one should be aware of the difference between a sequential trip trigger and a contact trip trigger. Understanding this enables a worker to choose the best trigger for the job.
