English • Keep hands and body parts clear of FIG. Q 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 stapler against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. (Fig. Q) • Do not use tool in the presence of FIG. R flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a fastener into another fastener may also cause a spark. (Fig. R) • 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 stapling into hard or dense material. FIG. S (Fig. S) • Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In "Contact Actuation Mode" if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired. • Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering options. CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER FIG. T • When using the contact action trigger, be careful of unintentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface. (Fig. T) TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES: • Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force. • Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation. • Use sequential action trigger. • When "contact" actuating the stapler, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener. SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER • When using the sequential action trigger, do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. • DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS; • Disconnect air supply • Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments 4

• 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 stapler against the
material. The contact trip may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
(Fig. Q)
• Do not use tool in the presence of
flammable dust, gases or fumes.
The
tool may produce a spark that could ignite
gases causing a fire. Driving a fastener into
another fastener may also cause a spark.
(Fig. R)
•
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 stapling into hard or dense material.
(Fig. S)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control
while allowing tool to recoil away
from work surface as fastener is
driven.
In “Contact Actuation Mode” if
contact trip is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
• Choice of triggering method is
important.
Check the manual for triggering options.
CONTACT ACTION TRIGGER
• When using the contact action
trigger, be careful of unintentional
double fires resulting from tool
recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be
driven if the contact trip is allowed to
accidentally re-contact the work surface.
(Fig. T)
TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
•
Do not engage the tool against the
work surface with a strong force.
•
Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
• When “contact” actuating the stapler, always keep
tool in control.
Inaccurate placement of tool can result in
misdirected discharge of a fastener.
SEQUENTIAL ACTION TRIGGER
•
When using the sequential action trigger, do not actuate
the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the
workpiece.
•
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth,
ALWAYS;
• Disconnect air supply
•
Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
