LOADING TOOL
WARNING! When loading tool: 1. Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of
tool; 2. Never point tool at anyone; 3. Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as accidental actuation
may occur, possibly causing injury; 4. Disconnect air supply source prior to loading the tool.
OPERATION
WARNING! Always handle the tool with care: 1. Never engage in horseplay; 2. Never pull the trigger unless
nose is directed toward the work; 3. Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in operation as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact arm tools except during fastening
operation as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing
the tool to cycle.
WARNING! Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. This tool may bounce from the
recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Check operation of the contact arm mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the arm is not
working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation
of the contact arm mechanism.
WARNING! Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this
may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
LOADING THE STAPLER
NOTE: Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.
LOADING
WARNING! Disconnect air supply before loading and making adjustments.
1. To open the magazine, pull cover back until locked by pin.
2. To load staples, insert a stick of staples and push forward in the channel. Insert a second stick of staples.
CAUTION! DO not attempt to operate this stapler without material between the shuttle and clincher to avoid
damaging the driver tip.
3. To close magazine, push the lock release tab (located at the front of magazine cover) down and push the cover
forward until it is locked by the pin.
FILTERS
Dirt and water in the air supply is a major cause of wear in air tools. A filter will help to get best performance from this
stapler. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be
effective in cleaning the air. Consult the filter manufacturer's instructions on proper maintenance. Clean and empty
the filter as needed. A dirty and clogged filter will also cause a pressure drop, which can reduce performance.
