MAINTENANCE
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR
REPAIRS ARE DONE (including
clearing jams):
• Wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles with side shields. Other
people in the work area must also
wear ANSI-approved impact safety
goggles with side shields.
• Release the trigger.
• Detach the air supply.
• Attempt to fire the Tool into a
piece of scrap wood to ensure
that it is disconnected and is
incapable of firing any fasteners.
• Empty the magazine and leave it
open during service.
Note: If the Stapler leaks air, continually
skips staples, does not drive the staple
properly, or the Trigger (39) or Safety
(52) do not move freely have it serviced
by a qualified service technician.
1. After each use, check the tightness on all
visible screws.
2. Wipe the Stapler clean daily with a
damp cloth and non-flammable cleaning
solution. Never soak the Stapler.
3. Make sure that no dirt or debris blocks
the fastener discharge area.

repairs, apart from those procedures
explained in this manual, are to
be attempted only by a qualified
technician.
