5. Pull the trigger.
— If the staple drove into the wood
far enough, continue with your
intended operations.
— If the staple either went too far
or not far enough, then adjust the
air pressure. More air pressure
will increase staple depth, less
air pressure will decrease staple
depth.
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, as shown in
Figure 5.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your
free hand is securing the workpiece in
the location that the staple deflects.
Figure 5. Example of staple deflection.
The stapler is designed to fire one staple
at a time.
To operate your stapler in single fire
mode, do these steps:
1. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against the workpiece.
2. Pull the trigger, then release the
trigger after the staple is driven.

of the workpiece, puncturing your
hand or fingers.
