Where to use brad nailer/stapler

Brad nailer/staplers are used mainly in medium to light duty applications. The use of brad nails and staples enables the nail heads to be countersunk under the surface of your work surface. This is important where the ‘finish’ or appearance of the workpiece is a priority.

Some additional important safety applications are as follows:

1.Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials too hard to penetrate such as concrete and steel.

2.Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle as the fasteners may ricochet causing personal injury.

3.Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury.

Checking the safety strike element:

1.Disconnect the air hose from the brad nailer/stapler and remove all fasteners from the magazine.

2.Make sure the trigger and the strike nose move freely up and down.

3.Reconnect air hose to the brad nailer/stapler.

4.Push the strike element against the work surface without depressing the trigger. The brad nailer/stapler must NOT cycle.

5.Remove the brad nailer/stapler from the work surface, the strike element should return to its original position. Pull the trigger, the brad nailer/stapler must NOT cycle.

If it cycles DO NOT use it.

Loading & unloading the fasteners:

1.Always disconnect the brad nailer/stapler to the air hose before loading fasteners.

2.Press and pull the latch (4) back until it catches onto the back of the nail magazine cover (5).

3.Insert a row of quality brad fasteners into the magazine. Make sure the pointed ends of the fasteners are resting on the bottom of the magazine.

IMPORTANT. Make sure the fasteners are not rusted, damaged or dirty.

4.Push the nail magazine cover (5) forward until the latch meets with the nails/staples.

5.Always disconnect the air hose before unloading fasteners.
