STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly causing injury. Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the fastener against the material. The workpiece contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when driving fasteners into hard or dense material. During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the stapler against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the stapler. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury. 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. LOADING TOOL Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated. When loading tool: Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener dis- charge area of tool. Never point tool at anyone. Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
