Additional Safety Instructions for Staplers
1.HAND INJURIES: Do not place your hands near the staple point of entry. A staple can deflect and tear through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.
2.COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never connect the stapler to pressur- ized oxygen or other combustible gases as a power source. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regu- lated compressed air.
3.SAFE HANDLING: Never point the stapler at others! Do not keep the trigger pulled when loading fasteners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry the stapler only by the handle, never by any other part. Do not carry the stapler by the air hose. Disconnect the stapler from the air hose when going up and down ladders.
4.AIR HOSE: Make sure your air hose is designed for the tool in use, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach your work without stretching. However, an overly long air hose in the work area may be a tripping hazard.
5.COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do not connect the stapler to com- pressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.
6.CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.
7.CLEANING: Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the stapler; vapors in the stapler may ignite by a spark and cause the sta- pler to explode.
8.OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you are not sure about the intended operation, stop using the stapler. Seek formal training or research sources that specialize in pneumatic tools.
9.MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect air from the stapler when servicing or installing staples. During adjustments or maintenance, a stapler connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.
