5.ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY HOSE FROM THE AIR STAPLER BEFORE LOADING THE STAPLES TO PREVENT A STAPLE FROM BEING ACCIDENTALLY FIRED DURING CONNECTION. The Air Stapler’s driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. When not in use, disconnect from air supply and remove all Stapes from the Moving Rail (part #76) of the Air Stapler.
6.DO NOT LOAD STAPLES WITH THE TRIGGER (part #31) OR SAFETY ELE- MENT (part #55) DEPRESSED. Doing so may cause accidental firing of a Staple.
7.ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER (part #31) WHEN NOT DRIVING STAPLES. Never carry the Air Stapler with your finger on the Trigger, as the tool will fire a Staple if the Safety Element (part #55) is bumped while the Trigger is depressed.
8.ALWAYS ASSUME THE AIR STAPLER IS LOADED. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
9.NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRIVE A STAPLE INTO MATERIAL THAT IS TOO HARD, AT TOO STEEP AN ANGLE, OR NEAR THE EDGE OF THE WORKPIECE. The Stapler may ricochet, causing personal injury to you or others nearby.
10.GRIP THE AIR STAPLER FIRMLY WITH BOTH HANDS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, WHILE ALLOWING THE TOOL TO SLIGHTLY RECOIL AWAY FROM THE WORKPIECE AS A STAPLE IS DRIVEN.
11.MAKE SURE ALL ADJUSTING WRENCHES ARE REMOVED FROM THE AIR STAPLER BEFORE USING.
12.MAINTAIN A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Air Stapler in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.
13.ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR STAPLER FROM ITS AIR SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or cleaning of the tool, leaving the work area, mov- ing the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
