Compressed Air System
The Model G6044/G6772 is designed to be operated at
the maximum operating pressure!
Before you use your new stapler, regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your model. Increase air pressure only if need- ed.
Many pneumatic tools benefit from an in- line filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This attachment is connected by hoses between the air compressor and the sta- pler. Using this unit protects your tool from damaging water
Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may cause the sta- pler to explode, blowing metal frag- ments in all directions. To protect yourself from serious personal injury, DO NOT allow your air compressor to exceed the recommended pressure when connected to this stapler!

Safety Yoke Mechanism
A safety yoke mechanism on the nose of the stapler acts as a safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the stapler will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your stapler for the first time, check the safety yoke mechanism to ensure proper function. To do this:
1.Make sure the stapler is discon- nected from the air supply!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no staples.
3.Make sure the trigger and the safety yoke mechanism move up and down without sticking.
4.Connect the stapler to the air supply.
5.Without pressing the trigger, depress the safety yoke 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 yoke mechanism is working correctly. If the stapler does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the stapler from the air supply and call our cus- tomer service for help.
Similarly if the stapler fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke mech- anism being depressed, then the stapler is not working properly.
If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your stapler for a peri- od of time, check the lubrication of these mechanisms.
The safety yoke is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on the safety yoke mechanism as an excuse to point the stapler at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
