Loading Staples
ALWAYS WEAR ANSI APPROVED
IMPACT SAFETY GOGGLES
WHEN RELOADING OR DOING
ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ON
THIS TOOL. Other people in the
work area must also wear ANSI
approved impact safety goggles.
Warning! Make sure the Stapler is not attached
to the air hose whenever loading the tool.
1. Release the Latch (69) and pull back on
Magazine B (61).
2. Insert a row of clean, undamaged
staples with the crowns up.
3. Push Magazine B (61) forward until the
Latch (69) snaps into place.
Operating the Stapler
1. Attach the Stapler to the air supply at the
Air Plug (82). Start your compressor and
check the pressure, making sure it is set
at the recommended 60-100 PSI and not
to go over the maximum 100 PSI.
2. To fire, place the nose of the Stapler on
the workpiece. The Stapler should not
fire if the nose is not depressed. Once
depressed, gently and briefly squeeze
the Trigger (39) once. Do not fire
repeatedly. Staples could bounce off
of one another, damaging the work
piece or causing PERSONAL INJURY.
3. After disconnecting the Stapler, the Nut
(39), near the trigger, can be turned to
adjust the depth. After adjusting, be sure
to practice on scrap wood before working
on a project.
