H7947/H7948 16 Gauge Stapler -10 -
Note: Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities, knots or foreign objects
inside the wood cause the staple
to change its path, resulting in the
staple puncturing the surface of the
workpiece.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the staple deflects.
5. Pull the trigger.
— If the staple penetrates the wood to
the depth you want, continue with
your intended operations.
— If the staple either went too far or not
far enough, adjust the depth of fire
by following the procedures listed on
Pages 10-11.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a staple in case of
deflection (illustrated below in
Figure
6).

Adjusting Depth
Changing the depth of staple penetration is
done by changing the position of the adjust-
ing block on the contact arm.
To adjust the depth:
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY.
2. Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the
depth adjustment cap screw on the
contact arm as shown in
Figure 7.
3. Move the adjusting block (Figure 8) up
or down to increase or decrease staple
penetration.
— If you want to decrease the staple
depth, then move the adjusting
block down, away from the nose as
shown in
Figure 8.
