Model W1779 18 Gauge Stapler Kit
Safety Nose Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the stapler protects against accidental firing. When the trigger is pressed, the stapler will not fire until the safety nose mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your stapler for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function.
To check the safety nose mechanism, do these steps:
1.DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2.Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no staples.
3.Make sure the trigger and the safety nose mechanism move up and down without sticking.
4.Connect the stapler to the air supply.
5.Without pressing the trigger, depress the safety nose mechanism against a scrap piece of wood that is clean and free of any knots, staples, or other foreign objects.
—If the stapler does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly.
—If the stapler does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the stapler from the air supply and call Technical Support.
—If the stapler fires when the trig- ger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the stapler is not working properly.
—If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not working prop- erly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.
Do not attempt to modify or bypass the safety nose mechanism to make the stapler fire without pushing the nose down.
Operating this stapler can propel objects into the air, causing immediate eye damage. To protect yourself, always wear ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles when operating this equipment.
The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the stapler at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
