OPERATION
WARNING
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product.
10.1 ADJUST THE STAPLE DEPTH
The depth adjustment knob increases or decreases the force
with which a staple is driven into the workpiece. The drive
force indicator, located on top of the tool, will show the force
at which the staple will enter the workpiece. Harder materials
will require greater drive force.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise to increase
the drive force.
3. To test for desired depth, use a scrap piece of the same
material you will be using for your project.
NOTE
Always keep your fingers away from the discharge area of
the tool when driving a staple and when using the accessory
to install screen or wire. Failure to keep fingers out of the
way can result in serious personal injury.

workpiece. The activation foot must be depressed before
pulling the switch trigger.
3. The tool will drive another staple each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the activation foot is depressed.
10.3 WIRE AND SCREEN ACCESSORY
The wire and screen accessory included with the stapler is
useful for attaching screen or wire to a wood frame or
workpiece. One accessory edge is used for fencing wire,
while the other edge is for attaching screen.
Drive a test staple in a scrap piece of the same material you
will be using for your project to test for desired drive force.
To install the accessory: Remove the battery pack and select
the desired application; Turn the selected edge toward the
nose of the tool; Slide the accessory over the nose of the tool
until it fits into place over the tab on each side of the tool.
