in supplying clean air pressure to the tool. Consult
the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct
maintenance of the oil and water separator. A
contaminated and blocked filter will cause a
reduction in the pressure, which will negatively
influence the performance of the air stapler.
4. LOADING THE AIR STAPLER
When in use, always wear eye protection
that meets the ANSI specifications, and
offers protection both in front and at the
sides from flying objects when loading,
operating and maintaining the air stapler.
Flying fasteners and splinters can cause
severe injury.
The employer or user must insist that proper eye
protection is worn. Eye protection equipment
should meet the specification of the American
National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1979
and must offer protection from both the front and
the sides.
Remark: Glasses without side shield and face
protector do not offer sufficient protection.
Loading with fasteners

• Disconnect the air hose.
• Release the fastener latch and withdraw this
along the fastener guide unit.
• Insert 1 fastener strip into the magazine.
Load with fastener points upwards.
• Press the fastener guide unit back into the
magazine, and lock the fastener latch.
• Reconnect the air hose to the air stapler.
5. OPERATING THE AIR STAPLER
When in use, always wear eye protection
that meets the ANSI specifications, and
offers protection both in front and at the
sides from flying objects when loading,
operating and maintaining the air stapler.
Flying fasteners and splinters can cause
severe injury.
Before using the air stapler
• Read the general safety instructions and
warnings in these instructions for use carefully.
• Refer to the specifications earlier in these
instructions for the correct operating
conditions for the air stapler.
Make sure the stapler is lubricated
properly before using it the first time.
Basic operation of the air stapler
Fig.1 - 4
A piston powered by compressed air drives the air
stapler. Illustrations 1 – 4 on page 2 + 3 show how
the air stapler works.
Operating
Activated by a trigger
Pressing the trigger activates the air stapler. Every
time the trigger is pressed, the air stapler will drive
a fastener into the workpiece.
Keep your hands well clear of the
fastener head. On no account should
you point the air stapler at any person or
animal.

Removing blocked staples
Fig. 6
At the front of the tacker there is a cover with a
red lever.
This cover can be removed when a staple is
blocked into the shaft.
Warning! To avoid injury:
Disconnect the air hose.
First release the fastener latch and
withdraw this along the fastener guide
unit. Removing the cover, while the
system is under pressure, can cause
serious injury: the staples can jump out
of the tacker unit!
Following steps:
• Remove the staples from the guide unit.
• Pull the red lever of the cover (in front of tacker)
downwards and remove the cover.
• The blocked stapler can be removed.
