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.

be attempted only by a qualified technician.
